He may have had the experience. But the question remains whether he performed well or not. His temper is his Achilles heel. And it is his temper which tells me he was not a good commander. His graduating fourth from the bottom in contrast to General Clarks's top of the class is what is at issue. It is good that all these are coming to the fore when the American voter is seriously pondering over having a mediocre President or someone with a demonstrated intelligence.

You wanted to know how I could be so sure of my very positive read of Obama. Well, I just saw what it is. There are two things, but only one I just realized. If you isten to both of them you can easily see that Obama is a superior thinker in all respects. But that is only good if he is also sensitive to people. It is their smiles. Look closely at when McCain smiles. He sort of smiles through a clinched mouth. He simply shapes his mouth into a smile. It is a fake smile. Obama smiles with his whole body. His smile is genuine and part of his sensitivity and part of his true sense of humor. McCain is programed and Obama is thinking. We need a thinker badly.
