Yeah, i remember that.
Blood Diamond is a thought-provoking movie, that carries some powerful message.
I thought Leonardi Di Caprio was exceptionally good, esp with his African accent.

True. But I doubt he will lose the election.
Before election many candidates goes for political stunts (sometimes suicide). I remember Kevin Rudd, the PM of Australia called for the Iran's president to be charged for war crimes for denying holocaust. Obviously he was rebuked later for this reckless attempt to gain Jewish votes.
People go at any length to get "Jewish voters" for some reason.

In part, it's because the McCain campaign has tried to position him (McCain) as more experienced in foreign policy issues. It hasn't worked very well for McCain, largely because he keeps on making asinine errors which suggest that he is either rather ignorant about the rest of the world, or suffering from senility. His rather lackluster low-key trips abroad, hardly reported by the media, haven't helped either.
Now, the average American voter isn't the brightest bulb in the room (I mean, this is the fellow who voted Bush into office a second time, right?); he doesn't really know or care about foreign policy nuances; but to him, this tour by Obama is effectively bolstering Obama's foreign policy credentials. Keep in mind that Americans in general have almost a pathological desire to be liked, respected, and admired and are quite aware that they are currently unpopular abroad. The observation that Obama gets cheered overseas, that he is an American who is actually liked abroad, gets the average voter to identify with him. And, in the end, it means a vote for Obama.
So, frankly, this isn't so much about arrogance as it is about shrewd electoral strategy.
Now, I have issues with Obama -- I don't like candidates who have never really articulated their policy platforms (Yes, we can! is not a policy platform), but run on a nebulous feeling of goodwill and a desire for change. And unlike some dismayed liberals, I was not at all surprised by his hard tack to the center after "winning" the Democratic primaries. But given that Kucinich or Nader had no chance whatsoever of ever getting elected president, I think Obama is definitely the lesser of the two evils compared with say, "Bomb Iran" McCain.

Shaad bhai, I agree with your analysis... except the argument that obama has no clear policy platform. If you go to his website, you can get a lot of information about it. I am trying to compare his manifesto with previous presidential candidates, i don't see much difference... no candidates have excruciating details about their policy platform.

but one thing is for sure.... anybody will be better than Bush by default.

That reminds me. Has anyone read his joke on " The Top Ten Funniest Ways to Kill Iranians"? Unbelievable that someone running for office can actually say that in this day and age. Heck, it might even give him a bit of a boost with conservative voters if someone actually bothered to pay attention to his campaign. Hate sells...

No but that ain't funny. Had Ahmadinejad wrote a similar stuff on how to kill US/Israelis, it would have hiked up oil prices in 5 minutes and draw a security council resolution.
