Empowering Pro-Americans

Would electing Obama empower pro-American forces in Europe and Latin America because he could provide ammunition against anti-American leftists who point to America's fundamental racism? Is this valuable to America?

Whatever else, the past 8 years have been a test for America following her gut, regardless of what our allies and enemies think. Certainly, it feels like the time to let the pendulum swing back the other way and try another tact: allowing our friends ammunition to defend us. If Obama helps them, it's just another reason to support him.
