Foreign policy wiz Joe Biden and Democratic Messiah Barack Obama may be a fine pairing. Biden is well-known for speaking first and regretting it later. And Barack Obama is developing the same tendency by virtue of the staff he put together. The Presidential candidate often criticized for not having the experience to lead repeatedly makes excuses for his staff’s actions. Most recently they have been guilty of putting words in Obama’s mouth by saying McCain with Palin will take the country in the wrong direction and the GOP pair will be more of the same (referring to President Bush). Obama was quick to offer a lame excuse for the mistake.

Against Clinton, some of the Obama staffers work was noted by Obama as ’stupid and caustic’. Again, against Clinton, Tim Russert asked if Obama staffers were fanning flames of racial tension in the campaign and Obama responded these were things he would not say. The list goes on and on. Does this reinforce the contention that Obama is not ready to lead? A continuous stream of undisciplined actions by his ‘team’ that he must make excuses for will not stand in a Presidential Administration. At least it won’t stand in a successful one. Voters should be concerned that the liberal duo claiming to have the right stuff for foreign policy could risk causing untold harm to the national interest by allowing a loose cannon pair and their staff to apply the same childish antics when dealing on international matters.

For all the defenders of the dynamic duo from the liberal left and all the hype presented during the D convention, the fact remains as evidenced in the article below that Obama and Biden are a couple of rookies when it comes to leading anything resembling a Presidential Administration. How can Barack Obama be expected to be Commander-in-Chief when he is obviously unable to manage a campaign staff?

Obama vs. his staff

Just hours after his campaign issued a first statement yesterday ripping the addition of Sarah Palin to the Republican ticket, Barack Obama backed away from that statement or at least its tone and said that his own campaign had misrepresented him.

Obama often speaks of how important his staffers are to his bid and would be to his administration, and he’s praised them for covering for each others’ mistakes. But in the heat of the campaign, he’s publicly called them out for everything from missing an event to misrepresenting his policy positions to using his office to aid a donor.
