Three senators who hope to move to the Executive Branch in January were among the 86 legislators who voted in favor a bill that implements the United States-India Agreement for cooperation on peaceful uses of nuclear energy. Joe Biden, John McCain and Barack Obama all endorsed an agreement that will allow the two nations to trade nuclear materials for the first time in three decades. The legislation is expected to be signed by the president very quickly.
“I believe that historians would see this as part of the dramatic and positive departure in the U.S.-India relationship,” vice presidential candidate Biden said. “The approval of this agreement would help both countries to keep moving on the path of cooperation for a better world.” Biden leads the Senate’s Foreign Relations committee.

I think conservatives has got 8 years to rule US, there have been many up and down. Handling of iraq has been dismal.
Now the big problem is handling recession or the business in US. Big companies lost there creditability which has led world to a great problem, although that is there responsibility, however there could be some better mechanism to control the situation.
US has been a leader in the area of better quality of life, business, and support to other countries. Other countries look to US for many things. There has been some mis-management of US economy.
The present Gov is responsible.
So, the people of US should give chance to Democrats.
OBAMA must win, being younger and have better skiil of making the things.
