Jerusalem Post impressed with Obama, not McCain.
The man over at http://www.oldmanmccain.com>Old Man McCain clued me onto this editorial in the Jerusalem Post by David Horowitz.

It's a long one, so I'll just include the most important segment.
In March, on his whirlwind visit to Israel, Republican presidential nominee John McCain, one of whose primary strengths is said to be his intimate grasp of foreign affairs, chose to bring along Sen. Joe Lieberman to the interview our diplomatic correspondent Herb Keinon and I conducted with him, looked to Lieberman several times for reassurance on his answers and seemed a little flummoxed by a question relating to the nuances of settlement construction.

On Wednesday evening, toward the end of his packed one-day visit here, Barack Obama, the Democratic senator who is leading the race for the White House and who lacks long years of foreign policy involvement, spoke to The Jerusalem Post with only a single aide in his King David Hotel room, and that aide's sole contribution to the conversation was to suggest that the candidate and I switch seats so that our photographer would get better lighting for his pictures.

Several of Obama's Middle East advisers - including former Clinton special envoy Dennis Ross and ex-ambassador to Israel Daniel Kurtzer - were hovering in the vicinity. But Obama, who was making only his second visit to Israel, knew precisely what he wanted to say about the most intricate issues confronting and concerning Israel, and expressed himself clearly, even stridently on key subjects.

The blogger at OldManMccain had this to say
If I was a Republican, I'd be embarrassed that after 54 years of military and government experience, McCain still needs assistance to conduct a foreign policy interview.

Pathetic.

In other words, Obama know what the hell he's talking about and McCain doesn't.
So, which one is more experience in foreign policy affairs? Because it certainly doesn't look like McLiar.

1. tell everyone--
i don't know why some people are caught up in all that old man's bulls**t. when obama opens his mouth i know something real is going to come out of it. his mouth is connected to his brain which is functioning extremely well according to my discernment. i luxuriate in the sense that young man makes.that sounds a little strange, but its what the Bible means when it talks about the value of wisdom!!!:bounce: :toast: :headbang: :patriot:
