I think the current evidence suggests that Obama's candidacy is causing global anticipation and a sense that the U.S. still possesses that inclusiveness and spirit of opportunity that still makes it a destination for most immigrants looking for a better life. If other nations including those in Latin America perceive Obama as a man they can deal with and one who is sensitive to their strengths and weaknesses then perhaps we will see a flowering of pan-American cooperation...if Barry indeed wins. Let's hope. A thoughtful post, Steve.
