Never a Doubt

Fox News has this headline: Obama "Never" Has Doubts About Foreign Policy Experience

Logan: Do you have any doubts?
Obama: Never.
Golly. I don't think Abraham Lincoln would have said that he never had any doubts before the Civil War. I don't think Henry Kissinger would say he had no doubts during Vietnam and the Cold War. I don't think Harry Truman, JFK, RFK, FDR, LBJ, Bush Sr, W, or any other actual occupant of the Oval Office would ever answer that way. Ever. [snip]

At least, I hope not. Mr. Obama has not a single smidgen of foreign policy experience at all, nor executive experience, nor any experience that qualifies him to be Commander in Chief. He doesn't even have a legislative record in Illinois, much less the US Senate.

That's weird and scary. Obama doesn't seem to have an adult evaluation of himself --- or of the formidable challenges that will face the next president. And the media have made up their minds to fall on their knees for this guy. They're not going to ask any tough questions at all. It's just part of their normal service to the American voter.[snip]

If the Democrats control Congress and the Presidency, as the media now hope and predict, they will have all the power in the world. Have they ever shown themselves to be responsible in any way whatsoever?

Logan: Do you have any doubts?
Obama: Never.
Just let that echo in your head for a while.
