The Education of Obama

The Times: Reports on the forthcoming trip of Obama to Europe and the Middle East and its main target audience the American Voter. This trip has two outcomes, Obama passes the Commander in Chief threshold or he flunks. Obama is not yet President, some of his Camp need to smell the coffee, arrogance comes before the fall, and the Obama Crowd are getting arrogant. Obama is no Kennedy or Reagan, in time if he gets elected he might reach those heights, but he wont get the Oval Office if he does change his mind on Iraq, if he comes back from his visit with the same pandering speech he wont win the election. This is the time for Obama to show political courage and refine his Iraq policy, because as noted on this blog he has not answered the simple question what happens if he removes the troops and the terrorists come back and Iran became a major player in Iraq while becoming a nuclear power. Does Obama have the backbone to be tough, is he another JFK or Reagan or is he another Carter.
