I'm really, really trying to cut down on Obama-bashing, mainly because it's too easy.  But I just must pass along this comment from Victor Davis Hanson:

After watching some of this, I don’t think Obama will be having many town hall debates with McCain.  However undeniable his calm and presence, he is simply incapable of extemporizing. A written transcript of this interview would be embarrassing, since it would be largely streams of meandering—and, but that, ah, you know, that, and, with uh, uh, I don’t think, ah, ah, that, that, I think, that, that, on, on, an issue…”

. . .

When Obama is asked a question he has not prepped for, he sort of goes into the spinning-eyes mode that one used to associate with the young Dan Quayle in his first weeks on the campaign trail. He knows he should not mouth his postmodern banalities, pauses, and then says something he knows simply won’t work.

At this point I would not be at all surprised to see Hillary Clinton pull off some kind of putsch and steal the Democratic Party Presidential nomination out from under Obama's nose.  And you know what?  I'm OK with that.  We're going to need a President with a backbone of steel in the next four years, to deal with the Russians and all the other geopolitical problems in the world.  Whatever you say about their politics, I think both Clinton and McCain have that.  If Obama has it too, I haven't seen it.
