Barack Obama picked up the endorsement of fellow Illinois Dem. Jan Schakowsky today.
Schakowsky said that Obama was the only candidate " who really has the capacity to send a very different signal around the world, someone who can effectively go to capitals of both our allies and our adversaries and create a new new tone that creates the space for peace."
In Obama's foreign policy speech today he spoke of ridding the world of nuclear weapons and also stressed these points:
* He would personally conduct negotiations with other nations, including hostile countries.
* Give the director of national intelligence a fixed term of office, so he could not be replaced by the president for political reasons.
* Fight global poverty and double foreign assistance to $50 billion a year.
