I Turned on Fox News Sunday

Meet the Press is off for tennis and I'm saving George for later. 

But what a mistake tuning into Fox. These people aren't worth the salary they're paid. There isn't a single Obama supporter, or an objective mind on the panel. Juan Williams is a fond Obama hater. He gets all flustered when he talks about Obama and barely keeps himself together. 

The sad thing is, as a contributor to NPR, a real news outlet that I'm fond of, Williams often pushes his anti-Obama stance in a more even-handed manner, so that he appears as a legitimate news person. 

The panel moves on to McCain and his staff shakeups and somehow the conversation moves back to Obama. I guess this is a good thing. 

Bill Kristol argues that John McCain wants to be a good leader but his campaign won't let him. What a bunch of baloney. (He also argues the last 1.5 years in Iraq have been a success. Can you say Out of Touch. These people think we're on the verge of "winning" there). WILL SOMEBODY PLEASE TELL ME WHAT WINNING IN IRAQ LOOKS LIKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Whew.

Kristol then asserts that Obama has appeared more presidential than McCain. Yes, that's because he is. 

What drives me nuts about McCain is he speaks like he's speaking to a room of children. His famous "That's not change we can believe in" line from that infamous speech he gave on Obama's night, rings in my mind every time I hear him speak. It sounds like the refrain in a children's story. 

Juan Williams suggests that McCain needs to get a platform on kitchen table issues and then he can say to Americans: now you can trust me. 

Everyone keeps talking about the polls -- why isn't Obama doing better in the polls. That's just people huffing. It's too early. 

Williams also thinks Hillary is the best vice president for Obama. That's telling. 

Another thing, all this yakking or yucking about Obama being "inexperienced" means nothing to Obama supporters. For one, we think of experience in a different light. Experience has been a hindrance to Bush and Cheney and the rest of the crew. Experience, in the way they mean it, is overrated. 

I would argue brilliance and the ability to think on your feet, weigh the facts and do what's best, is more important. Leadership is also key. A president needs charisma and a vision. 

Organization, or the ability to pull people together in a structured manner, is also important. Obama's foes always diminish his organizational experience but it's gotten him this far. He beat the Clinton machine. John McCain can't figure out how to run against Obama. 

I'm just hoping that for once in my lifetime, we could have a smart and wise president.
