My Pick For The Next United States Ambassador to the United Nations

Cornel West

Seriously, Cornel West.

I was watching him again on Bill Maher last night and I truly believe this man could save our dishonored reputation and standing internationally. His capacity to influence without disrespecting nor infuriating others* is a key necessity we will need to re-establish trust in the international community.

He has prepotent intelligence and the capacity to see problems from all angles with empathetic understanding.

Mostly, you just can't help liking this guy* and that affability will affect relations with our global brethren. He's warm, sincere and his speaking pattern is poetically cadenced.

His expertise is on Race Relations and Religion is surely a fundamental asset in a World filled with animosity based on what you look like and what God you pray or do not pray to.
