The reason the country is uneasy about the Obama administration's response to this attack is a distinct sense of not just incompetence but incomprehension. Yes. Willful incomprehension. One archetypal "on the job learning" moment by a President took place in 1979, under Jimmy Carter. After the Soviets attacked Afghanistan, good ol' Jimmy went on national TV and announced that this event "completely changed" his entire thinking about the Soviet Union. That was a chin dropping moment. Remember thinking - "What the hell DID you think about the Soviets before this, and where have you been your entire life until now?" Hope we don't have to pay a heavy price for our current Prez's enlightenment.
