A total lack of experience on his part, in the “greater politics” of this nation. Maybe he knows the politics of the streets and of Chicago corruption, but that doesn’t play well with other countries...
This total lack of experience should be a campaign issue for the next election and how he’s botched several different things.
And also, remember... “It’s the economy, stupid!”
I would think that the experienced folks at State would have been involved. They evidently let The Obamas embarrass themselves.
Who’s the boss over at State, anyway? ;-)
