Presidential elections are certainly at the forefront of the news, but Americans haven't forgotten that Iran is a tinderbox ready to ignite the Middle East. That being said, I'm not surprised that the recent USA Today/Gallup poll found that John McCain is leading Barack Obama among likely voters by a 49 percent to 44 percent margin.

Despite all the mainstream media hype accorded Senator Obama's whirlwind nine day, eight nation tour of Western Europe and the Middle East, his "bounce" in the polls has been negligible. The primary reason is obvious: Americans are well aware that we live in a very precarious world, which requires an experienced leader in the Oval Office. Obama is not that leader. He would be a risky pick for the presidency.

I bet that one could earn the author the understatement of the year award or at least have him in the running.

The Middle East is a powder keg ready to explode and the foolish people of this country are thinking about putting into the office of the Presidency a man who is so naive and foolish that he makes Jimmy Carter look like a "whiz kid".
All of this on a resume so thin that Victor David Hanson said "it would fit on the back of his drivers license."
This makes me ill :barf:
