At first blush a rather surprising choice, but upon further consideration, a very interesting one. It's not so much for what he's done, but the attitude he brings to the office of the most powerful single human being on the face of the earth. Let's face it, we can't help but compare him to his predecessor. Love or hate Gee Dubya or Obama, this planet has a much better chance for peace with the current administration than the last. I won't say anything more except that I like Obama a great deal and wish him all the best in what he's trying to do. Congratulations to him on his Nobel Prize. cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
