I like Barak more for what his election would say to the world and about us as Americans, than for his positions or his personality. I think Arun Ghandi stated something similar. I have seen Mrs. Bill Clinton (really, that’s her only credential, isn’t it?) operate for many years, and am unimpressed. The victimized female …
