This is going to be brief as I am still creating a diary that I promised to do last night.
Al Giordano outlines Obama's foreign policy towards Latin America here. He covers the good and the bad in Obama's speech. Al has covered Latin America for the blog NacroNews for longer than he has covered the presidential race and has a better perspective that most on Latin America (cautionary note, Al doesn't care much for Bill's policy towards Latin America).

A very brief synopsis:
The Good:
Obama is willing to ease the embargo on Cuba
Obama looks at trade intelligently and won't continue the trade policies of Bush.
The Bad:
Obama continues the poor rhetoric of Bush with regards to Venezuela and Cuba
Also Sean Regean over at the Back Forty links to an interview about food and agriculture issues done with Obama.

and also covers some of his thoughts on Obama's rural policy (Sean is a blogger with ruralvotes and from what I've seen he does an excellent job).
