This article is the most optimistic I've heard of this Presidential Election.

Wow!!! Bipartisanship. After 7 years of the uniter, I didn't even know that word still existed.

This is the type of president that we need. Someone who'll consider the whole population in finding the talent we need to move this country forward. Not just half of it.

"we have to have some humility and restraint in terms of our ability to project power around the world"

That's also a great quote!! Definitely what it takes to be a world leader.

There is no doubt we are in a new dawn! Obama's presidency will usher in a new beginning for the United States and the world. Obaba does not just say things; this man thinks before he acts. He has worked with both democrats and republicans and have seen results. By reaching out to republicans and bringing them to his administration, we will have a United States that no other power in the world can pierce through. Hillary boasts of fighting the republican right wings; this is no time to be fighting among ourselves. This is the time for us to join together as one united people fighting against islamic terrorists. God bless Barack; and God bless American for the new beginning.

Go ahead, announce your cabinet, this is truly the "fun" part ... admitting the awful truth that Republicans aren't evil, they're just woefully in need of some decent leadership. Here's to hoping we get a Dem in office like Obama who can provide it.

We are the only superpower in the world because we have done so many things correctly. Wasn't the WTC1 bombing, two embassies in Africa, US Cole, etc. enough restraint? Bush is the greatest leader this country has ever had.

Wow, as a Republican who voted for Bush but has realized this was a mistake I am really considering Obama and am very tempted to vote for him.

You can name a cabinet if you don't get elected. He has zero chance in becoming President.

Can you say RINOs. What has Arnold done for California. Illegal immigrants are destroying that state and what is their answer, raise taxes. There you go, that will fix it. I think Arnold needs to stick with acting.

Democrats, please wake up! Obama is a guy who could unite the country. An independent like myself would consider him for sure but never that awful person Hillary Clinton. She would destroy what George Bush has not already. Obama or Ron Paul for me---no phonies in either party.

I really wish people would stop looking at Obama like he is some new found golden idol and everything that falls out of his mouth is gospel. He is saying this to win back the independents that John mcCain is stealing form him. He is one of the most liberal people in the Senate and let's not forget his voting record in the State Senate. How many times did he say present in stead of standing up for issues he believes in? It was 130! That's standing up for issues. He is so full of it.

Why is it Obama is such a great guy for including Republicans when Bush has appointed Democrats?

Obama talks a good game but if he is elected I am willing to bet he is a disaster on foreign policy and our economy will tank (a real tank, not the imaginary stuff the MSM makes up about Republican economies).

Chino said Republicans need leadership.

Obama is not a proven leader so who do you propose? Given the "leaders" in the Democratic Party (Reid, Pelosi, Hoyer) it might be hard to actually come up with someone who knows how to lead.

Obama...here's hoping he is our nominee. We Dems need to cut loose the past and move forward. We are better than that. No more following of a dynastic approach to presidencies.

You have got to be kidding me. These so-called "Republicans" are as liberal as they come:

Arnold: The guy is a joke. Illegal immigration and overspending are ruining California, and he has done nothing about it. Has not delivered on one campaign promise.

Lugar: This is Obama's gun control guy. Obama wants an absolute ban on all kinds of semiautomatic weapons, and don't think it would stop there. No true conservative would think of doing the things this guy has done.

Hagel: Really? I don't think anything more needs to be said.

Obama sure must have worked to find the three most liberal Republicans in the country, in an effort to appear "bipartisan" to all of you. Since you don't seem able to read between the lines yourselves, I have done it for you. You're welcome.

Obama is a lightweight. He'll be in way over head if he ever makes it to the Oval Office.

if uniting the country means giving power to republicans, it's not worth it

Hagel liberal? Anything but! He's one of the true conservatives in the Senate, and probably the only person I'd vote for over Obama!

Perhaps "President" Obama will consider Governor Schwartzenegger for Treasury Secretary? The Governor of California, after all, has presided over a 40% increase in his state's budget in 4 years, and is now facing a $14 billion projected budget shortfall. Judging by this, he's a Democrat in all but name anyhow.

I thought Oprah was going to be Sec of State and Dr. Phil was going to be Surgeon General

As a conservative, I agree with most posters here...I hope the liberal crack head one term Senator, Barak Hussein Obama is the Democratic Nominee for President.

Can we name one thing that Obama or Hillary have accomplished? Anyone?
