McCain Does Get It, It’s Obama Who Doesn’t!

The second half of the debate Friday was on Foreign Affairs.  As expected, the experience of John McCain was evident.  Also as expected but certainly not discussed in MSM, the inexperience of Barack Obama was obvious.

McCain repeatedly demonstrated a very comprehensive understanding of world affairs.  Obama often sounded like a sophmore on a college campus.

At one point Senator Obama referred to the fledgling democracy of Poland and Czechoslovakia.  I guess we will not be planning much with those countries in the near future.  He also said, which he corrected later, that we should go into Pakistan to attack our terrorist enemies.  But even more important to me was he complete focus on the past, what was done by whom, who to blame.  Myself and the rest of the country would like to hear about how we can resolve our foreign policy problems, not who caused them.  It is especially disappointing when he spins the history with his rhetoric and exaggeration for pure political advantage.  We have some major issues to deal with, let’s move on toward some solutions.

McCain was drawn into some history debate but most of his discussion was with an eye to the future and how we should be posturing and acting to solve current and future problems.  Senator McCain could not help himself and did his share of politicizing as well but overall his time was much more informative.

McCain’s advantage, Obama pretending to have experience is transparent and foolish.  Everyone knows that he is a first term US senator.  His time in the Illinois senate was a part time job.  Just when was he supposed to gain this experience in foreign affairs?  His duplicity is far more detracting than his lack of experience.
