I think it was smart to put two of our strongest people in charge of relating to international affairs.
We need competent faces on the world stage to push forward our economic and diplomatic efforts. With Richardson and Clinton as our representatives, no country will doubt that this country is back on the rise and that we mean business.
Richardson in particular is someone that has a proven track record with other nations whether adversaries or allies. He will be a face the developing nations will look to for guidance.
Where did the beard go? I liked it.
Hello everyone. Just wanted to share my latest effort - a site that compiles all the high quality Obama wallpapers in one place. I'll be adding new wallpapers each day (6 were added today).
