WWOD?
I think one of the greatest challenges facing a President is how they react to an International crisis...This is where experience comes in to play.
When the Russians started playing the "Midnight Tank to Georgia", Obama or one of his 200 foreign policy staffers wrote a Note calling for calm and restraint. Then the next day when he had a rally celebrating his Vacation in Hawaii he promised "to go body surfing at some undisclosed location." Where is the bold action and the and the courage to talk to foreign dictators? Instead Obama decided "I'm going to get some shave ice.".
On the other hand McCain, who seemed to have grasped the gravity from the get-go and whose support for Georgia is long-standing. He took the lead from the outset, demanding on Friday morning an emergency meeting of NATO and Western aid to the fledgling democracy.
Experience counts.
