Barack Obama intends to ratify the free trade deal made with Peru

And that makes me very happy. Yes, it's only one trade agreement out of the four still awaiting approval by the Senate, and yes, it is actually not opposed by the AFL-CIO, but damn if I'm not glad to at least see a glimmer of free trade in Senator Obama. If Obama can avoiding tacking left on economic policy and he keeps steaming through the way he is now, he'll most likely wind up with my vote (unless Bloomberg jumps into the race--then we'd have something interesting).

Oh, and Danielle's here. Hurray!
