Obama: Pluses, minuses on Latin America issues

Now that Sen. Barack Obama is the front-runner for the Democratic Party’s presidential nomination, it’s time to answer a question that many U.S. Hispanics and Latin Americans are asking: Would he be good for Latin America?

On the minus side, Obama has never been to Latin America, as he told me in an interview last year. And when I asked him who are the three Latin American leaders he respects the most, it took him a while to scan through his mental C-drive and respond, ”the president of Chile,” whom he correctly identified as a woman but failed to mention by name. (I didn’t press him about the remaining two.)”*
