McCain schooling Obama on foreign policy

It may be a long campaign for Barack Obama, who- when it comes to foreign policy- is a remedial student running against Professor John McCain.

Neither charisma nor an ability to thrill Chris Matthews is everything. A president of the United States still has to be acquainted enough with the world and the art of navigating through the rocks and sandbars that lay in wait for the naive and the unwary to look out for the interest of his nation in a treacherous age.

Barack Obama simply isn't.
