Lengthy Interview with the SF Chronicle
Obama gave an excellent, lengthy interview to the San Francisco Chronicle in which he is highly substantive, candid and light-hearted. Every time I see a frank discussion with him summarized in the news, my devotion to him grows:
On how an Obama presidency would change the country:Read the full interview: Barack Obama, in S.F., takes on the Clintons"The day I'm elected and sworn in, not only does this country look at itself differently, but I think the world looks at itself differently. And that's not just symbolic. When I go to a poor country and talk to them about America's obligations, but also that poor country's obligations to help itself by dealing with corruption or to reduce ethnic tensions, I do with credibility as somebody with a grandmother who lives in a small village in Africa without running water. If I convene a meeting of Muslim leaders ... I do so with the credibility of somebody who lived in the most populous Muslim country on Earth for four years and has a sister who is half-Indonesian. ... That will allow me ... to be an effective spokesperson for a different version of American foreign policy."
