Sarah Palin on Friday said Sen. Barack Obama put "ambition above country" after a newspaper reported that Obama may have tried to influence Iraqi politicians negotiating with the United States. The Washington Times, a conservative newspaper, reported Friday that Obama told Iraqi leaders in Baghdad in June that an agreement between the United States and the leaders to allow U.S. troops to stay in the country after 2008 should not go into effect unless it had congressional approval. The conversation occurred two weeks after Obama secured the Democratic nomination for president, the newspaper...

Barack Obama couldn’t pass a background investigation to become an FBI special agent. He doesn’t know how right he is. Sen. Barack Obama wouldn’t pass a routine government background investigation, not only to become an FBI agent, but a police officer as well. If he were a soldier, his background would preclude him from obtaining a security clearance. He wouldn’t even qualify to be a support person in a federal agency, such as secretary, for that matter.

Neither Biden nor Obama have what it takes to lead the U.S. The political debate centered on John McCain and Sarah Palin in recent weeks, which was a terribly good development for Barack Obama and Joe Biden because it prevented people from focusing on their rather obvious flaws. Now that the debate has calmed down a bit, however, it is time to refocus on Obama-Biden, and to look at whether or not they are competent enough to be president and vice president.
