Step #1, in my opinion, for the US after the next election is to get out of Iraq. The war in Iraq is hemorrhaging funds from the US.
The only candidate I trust to get out of Iraq is Barack Obama.
This now steps into my personal views a bit, but I love his political platform. I am aligned with him in almost every political view.
Personally I believe that religion, in the Bush administration, has taken up too large a role in the American government and that it has guided too many of the policies of the Bush administration.
Obama's liberal views should provide some balance for the evangelical right-wing in the US.
Honestly I am going to sound like a member of his campaign team but the biggest thing he brings to the table is change. Change in health care, change in education, change in foreign policy. Perhaps the US can regain some of the allies that have become alienated during the Administration of Terror™.
Anyway, I guess I just watch him speak and read his platform and read about him and his voting record and it all makes me believe that he is a candidate who could truly revive the US if he becomes president. Return them to the status of respectable nation.
