SOWELL: Foreign policy 'experience'

The fact that Sen. Joe Biden has for years listened to all sorts of people testify on all sorts of foreign policy issues tells us nothing about how well he understood the issues. Out of the four presidential and vice-presidential candidates this year, only Mrs. Palin has had to make executive decisions and live with the consequences.
As for Mr. Obama, his various pronouncements on foreign policy have been as immature as they have been presumptuous.

Once again Dr. Sowell will confuse the left with facts. I can smell their synapses frying now.

In Dr. Sowell, African Americans have a true man of accomplishment and they still choose to follow false prophets.

I'm glad Dr. Sowell is writing. At least SOMEBODY out there is writing with sense.

My hero! ... "The fact that Sen. Joe Biden has for years listened to all sorts of people testify on all sorts of foreign policy issues tells us nothing about how well he understood the issues." I wonder if any of the dufuses voting for Obama even read Thomas Sowell?
Joe Biden is supposed to be the gravitas added to fix Obama's zero foreign policy 'experience'. It only makes Zerobama look more leftist and out of touch.

Dr. Sowell’s low key analysis is always right on the money.

Seriously, did you ever foresee the day when Joe Gaffe Biden would be considered "gravitas"? Especially for such a clean, well spoken candidate. (couldn't help myself, lol)

Thanks, that video was a hoot. I always love it when the arrogant left mocks the intelligence of Repubs. It usually means another election win for Repubs.

I hate to break the news to you, but William F. Buckley died earlier this year at the age of 82.

Competence ... it is all about competence. When you get old enough, mature enough, concerned enough, you go for the competent candidate regardless of race, religion, creed, or gender.
