The Commentary Magazine website has a link to a New York Times op-ed column that inadvertently sheds light upon Senator Obama’s lack of fitness for the job he seeks.
Gail Collins, formerly editorial page editor of the New York Times and now a regular columnist, uses her September 19, 2008, opinion column to cudgel President Bush about his handling of the current financial crisis.
In passing, however, she reveals how feckless and vague Senator Obama is when confronted with the need for decisiveness:
Down in Florida, Barack Obama was also endorsing a bipartisan approach to the rescue. For good measure, he also tacked on a call on both parties to join together in backing “an emergency economic plan” crafted out of a whole bunch of things that the Republicans are never going to support in a million years.
Obama declined to provide many specifics. The most notable thing about his performance this week — besides his really extraordinary skill in packing large numbers of economic advisers onto a stage — has been his calm. Even this late in the campaign, it’s hard to tell whether it’s the product of wise serenity or a low metabolism. But, under present circumstances, it was definitely soothing.
