Marc likes Obama

I respect Marc Andreessen, so I listen when Marc says he likes Obama. The last part of the post makes some good points:

First, Obama's organizational skills with the campaign should be a decent leading indicator of his ability to organize people in government. He's doing well so far, and this type of managing people is what the job of President is all about.

Second, he's experienced different cultures around the world, which gives him an excellent perspective in foreign matters. While this doesn't make him an instant expert on foreign policy, even my limited traveling in the U.S. and abroad tells me that this is an incredibly important factor that few presidential candidates have.
