Will an Obama/Clinton face on foreign policy make it easier to sell U.S. military action |

to the American people and the world?
Bush was so unpopular that he could no longer sell anything. But now we have the fresh face of Obama and the Clintons (and we are repeatedly told how the world loves the Clintons).
So would the team of Obama/Clinton be able to sell military actions that Bush no longer could?
I was struck by how Obama, in one of his debates with McCain seemed to question his own decision not to support going to war (seeming to question his own judgment in deciding to be against the war). He is now surrounded by Biden, Emanuel, the Clintons, all hawks, and is being praised by the Neocons (so they must be happy about something).
Let's say Obama ordered the bombing of Iran (with nuclear bunker busting bombs). What do you think the reaction would be of the American People, the world?
Biden did say Obama would be tested within six months.
