Obama's Foreign Policy Advisor Tells Us What the Question is

"This wasn't an anti-Clinton thing," Lake says. "It was a pro-Obama thing, because I had been so impressed by him." Lake was struck by what he saw as Obama's promise as a global leader who would protect American interests as well as change America's image in the world. "I was very moved by this notion of bringing America together," he says. "Unless a president has gotten elected trying to bring people together, he's never going to be able to convince Congress to go along with the changes we need in our policies.

"The question isn't which candidate is strongest in his or her support of NATO or Israel, or which candidate is opposed to terrorists—because all three are, absolutely. The question is: Which America is the strongest friend of Israel? Which America will be the strongest adversary to those who would do us harm?' And, clearly the answer is an America that is unified rather than torn apart by the politics of the last 20 years. And it is in Obama's DNA to be a unifier while having clear views."
