The Republiganda machine is latching on to comments made by Joe Biden about the Obama administration being likely to be tested. Well, sure, all new administrations are tested. If McCain is elected, his administration is sure to be tested -- with a green vice-president and an aging president, and the weight of his party's last eight years in the While House, they are sure to be tested.
But I believe Senator Barack Obama is up to the task. And so do a number of experienced White House veterans and foreign policy experts who have endorsed Senator Obama, such as General and Secretary of State Colin Powell, Secretary of State Madeline Albright, U.N. Ambassaador Richard Holbrook, President Bill Clinton, President Jimmy Carter, Vice-President Al Gore, Senator Hillary Clinton, Secretary of State Zbignew Brzinski, Senator John Kerry, General Wesley Clark and Governor Bill Richardson, amomg many. Certainly Obama will need help -- Presidents have never operated in a vacuum.
But who will that help be? Obama is a wise leader has surrounded himself with high quality people, such as former Navy Secreatary Richard Danzig, former Air Force Chief of Staff Tony McPeak, Former National Security Adviser Samuel Berger, former National Security Council member Susan Rice, and Senate foreign relations leader Biden himself. He has shown a calm, steady temperament. Erratic McCain has the dregs of the Bush administration, high powered lobbyists like his campaign manager Rick Davis, and Sarah Palin. And what have the Republicans given us for the last eight years? Enough said.
