Barack Obama making his mark

Senator Barack Obama has just returned to the US from his world tour. He appeared to have made his mark on the world stage ...but it will be interesting to see how it is viewed by Americans themselves.

Whilst he was in the UK, he met with Tony Blair, Gordon Brown and David Cameron.

David Cameron said he had a "very positive" meeting with the US presidential candidate on Saturday, discussing a range of glocal issues, including Iran, Afghanistan, Iraq and the Middle East peace process. They naturally also talked about the underlying issues with the US and the British economy and how to manage them going forward.

If Senator Obama became the next President of the United States of America, he certainly would make history. I do not agree with all his political views but I admire him as a person and as a politician.

Will he win? He is someone who has presence, charisma, confidence and can inspire many around him. If he has real substance to his vision and policies and can show he can lead, then he may be able to take the American people with him.

Would he make a good President? Only time will tell......
