I agree that Obama is better than most.  I just don't see the Council on Foreign Relations thing to be a contending issue, especially in the times we live.  We do need a President who isn't afraid of using force WHEN NEEDED.  After all this talk about RP not supporting the US as an Imperial Power, you look at the guys record and it shows that he & Barack are in the same boat - except that Barack openly admits the same very things Ron Paul refuses to.  To me, this honesty is refreshing.
