There was an interesting NY Times piece recently looking at international attention on the presidential race. Here's the link:

The conclussion is obvious, to me: electing Obama sends a message of hope and renewal to the world. I know that we're picking the next American president and that his focus, necessarily, has to be what is best for the United States. But the fact remains that he will also be a world leader, the first among equals. If we've learned anything in the last 20 years, it's that the fate of our nation and the world are intextricably intertwined. We can no longer go our own course, oblivious to how our actions impact our international family members.
Just some thoughts. Please read the article and tell me what you think.
