Fairly well-written piece, making one case for why Barack Obama's election is not exclusively a negative for conservatives. However, leaning purely on the racial aspect of the question does him a great disservice here. He states his case well, however short in reach it may be.

This a president who seems to have a strong chance of inspiring a spirit of cooperation in our allies abroad, in stark contrast to his predecessor. This is a good thing.
