"Not at all. I didn't "cherry pick" anything -- I posted their direct quotations when they responded to the crisis."

Umm, cherry picking means that you didn't post the context.

Both said virtually the same thing.

"Obama clearly has less familiarity with the situation, and I guess that's to be expected."

I don't agree. Obama seems to have a better handle on the situation than McCain. McCain clearly thinks we are in a position to demand things from Russia. We aren't. That is the reality. To ignore that reality will only make things worse. Apparently someone has talked to McCain because he is backing away from a tough approach and talking more like Obama.
