Our Potential Leaders Visiting the Middle East

Now that Barack Obama has visited the Middle East in his role as the presumptive nominee of the Democratic Party, how can we assess his progress toward looking like a leader, especially when compared to the "more experienced" John McCain. Here's a photo AP just put out of a press conference where Obama is flanked by his traveling companions Chuck Hagel and Jack Reed:

That looks pretty leader-like to me. Last March, John McCain went to the same area with Joe Lieberman and Lindsey Graham. The Washington Post showed us how well that one went:


There really is nothing more to add.

I don't see anyone having to whisper in Obama's ear in order to correct any major gaffes.

THAT is a huge difference.

Did you read that Brent Scowcroft will not be endorsing a candidate and will be available to give advice or counsel to either of them?

Very interesting.

Thanks for the heads up on Scowcroft. That's very interesting.
