I've Been Thinking:

In interviews in the LA Times and Chicago Tribune, president elect Obama confirmed that he intends to follow though with his pledge to deliver a major address from a Muslim capital.
The objective, he says, is to "reboot America's image in the Muslim world."
It is a brilliant idea.

Barack Obama will use charisma and charm, two of his greatest assets, to explain the greatness of America.
Obama knows that those people who hate America will not be convinced even by him and those who already love America need no convincing.
The people he will be speaking to are the masses in the middle.

Obama will try to move the Muslim masses in the middle to move in two directions:
# 1: to fight terror
# 2: to embrace difference.
Obama will explain US policy against terror as he reaches out to touch the Muslim world.
Obama will lead by example.

This is a bold new idea.
I look forward to seeing how it is implemented and to measuring its impact.
