#1 Almost appears that McCain is bringing it, as he should. Only compounding the agony of the near-silence of the administration for, oh, I dunno, years and years.

The Messiah's last visit was my one and only exposure to him. He was accompanied by two colleagues, one Senate, one House. Some other folks said there was a buzz about Obama, so I made sure to be there when he did his little press gaggle in Bremer's old conference room.

Completely unimpressive. Just as empty and superficial and glib as he appears now, daily, on any topic. Pathetic. His Senate colleague snoozed in a chair in the far corner; his House colleague watched alongside me - and I have good reason to believe he wasn't very impressed, either. I was astonished that this unimpressive young guy created any sort of buzz whatsoever.

Then there was the time in the prior year where Hillary and others cleaned up a horribly ill-advised statement by McCain to a press conference. Of course, Gen. Casey and others were saying equally disastrous things at the time, so what the hell. But it was interesting to see how deep McCain could step in it, so deep that the Hildebeast (and I think Grahamnesty) had to jump in and muddy the waters for him.

But that was simply a low point for McCain. Obama, just as it appears, doesn't know or understand a tenth of the things one needs to work as an underling on the NSC, much less be the boss.
