I just finished watching the first round of video clips from Afganistan showing Senator Obama's arrival at Kabul and meeting with US troops. The cheering crowds of people waiting to greet him were not unlike the crowds that we see here. What a contrast to the visits from President Bush. No demonstrations, burning flags, angry mobs. The service men and women were not hostile to the candidate as the Republicans might hope. The troops were gleeful as he met with them and shot hoops (nice shot by the way Barack). His messages were substanative and reflective. This is a great beginning to his trip. For once we have a leader in whom we can be proud.
