<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>What a laugh! By Barry's standard our own Chasuk
would make a far better president. I seem to recall that he lived overseas for
about 14 years or so and even arranged to do it as an adult. Ready for that 3:00
A.M. phone call Chas?</FONT></DIV>

policy experience</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>In Obama's own words, here is how he describes his foreign
policy experience:<BR><BR>"CLARION, Iowa ­ Democrat Barack Obama said
Monday his childhood experience in Asia and his family in Kenya give him a
greater foreign policy understanding than politicians who merely take junkets
to other countries. <BR><BR>The first-term Illinois senator is frequently
asked whether he has the foreign policy credentials to be president, and he
faced the question again at a town hall meeting in Clarion.<BR><BR>‘‘I spent
four years living overseas when I was a child living in Southeast Asia,’’ said
Obama, who was born in Hawaii and spent four years in Indonesia. ‘‘My father
is from Kenya. That’s where I got my name. He’s passed away now, but I still
have family.’’<BR><BR>‘‘A lot of my knowledge about foreign affairs is not
what I just studied in school. It’s actually having the knowledge of how
ordinary people in these other countries live.’’<BR><BR>Reported in the
Chicago Sun Times (AP, Nov 19, 2007)
