Supposedly it's the part of the brain that controls basic instincts and the drive for survival.
I sort of agree with this article, but I don’t know if I buy the premise fully. Wanting to defend yourself is not anti-intellectual in any way. McCain has lived life, has experienced things, has accomplished things. He has figured a few things out and made his decisions. Just because he has figured out where he stands doen’t mean he didn’t think about it to get there.
Obama is still thinking about it. Obama has not figured anything out except how you maximize self promotion with the least amont of work. That is the reason that he is absolutely not ready. A few weeks ago, I actually pictured Obama as a formidable appointment from the left. Someone very wrong morally but capable. He has become a small man now in my mind. He is smart enough to parlay his charisma into big positions with no actual accomplishments. And that unearned success has led to self absorbtion but with some insecurity under the surface.
He appears insecure without the teleprompter. He is truly way above his pay grade and way out of his league.
Q. “List three people you would take advice from in your administration.”
A. “My wife and grandma.”
Empty suit indeed.
