If a Democrat retakes the White House in the November 2008 elections, do you think the attitudes towards the US will improve any??

I have had very great expectations of Barack Obama because he seems like a very different kind of politician, but the Clinton-Obama fighting has turned me off quite a bit. On the Republican side, I usually have viewed President Bush as a sock puppet of Cheney and his friends and am hoping that John McCain has a lot more backbone. I am very interested in whom John McCain will pick as a running mate.

Met 2008 Independent candidate Ralph Nader while he was giving a lecture at the University of MN Law School but even though I admire some of his various activities do not think he would make much of a US President. He is far too polarizing a crusader.
