O'Malley's March to the White House

[Koinos]

16. Foreign Policy

I think that, like many governors who run for president, his strong suit is management of state and community issues. His own words reveal that his priority is to strengthen the middle class, fix infrastructure, promote education, protect our environment, and revive the "American dream" for future generations. He wants our children and grandchildren to have a better life in America. He is not a "globalist," first and foremost. As the primary proceeds, I think he will become more and more articulate and focused in areas of foreign policy. Contrariwise, many senators who seek the presidency are well versed in foreign policy, but have little or no management skills that apply to domestic affairs and the needs of fifty states full of human beings. No one, except perhaps for a sitting president, is ever equally prepared for both domestic and foreign affairs. O'Malley may have a learning curve in foreign affairs; but, at this point in history, I think we need most of all his expertise in fixing this country for us and our families.
