  • Funny guy. Are you really calling attention to Obama’s lack of foreign-policy experience? Perhaps you’d prefer he first serve as the governor of Texas?

Er, well, no, actually. I’m less interested in his lack of foreign-policy experience (I certainly don’t want ex-Assistant Secretaries of State or ex-ambassadors to Saudi Arabia running for President) than his lack of foreign-policy interest.

But, if you want to value grade school experience in Indonesia over executive authority in one of the world’s 20 biggest economies, feel free. I once had a penpal in Norway. Can I be National Security Advisor?
