(Quick Quiz Question: Who was the last President who had any significant foreign policy experience before being elected?)

President George. H.W. Bush, former CIA director, former ambassador to china, and pretty much all around foreign Policy specialist.

Was this a genuine question ?

Well, it was a genuine question, and I'm stunned that Dr Sowell and I did not come up with that one... but at least I'm in good company!

The main point, though, remains the same: it is a rarity to have ANY foreign policy experience before occupying the White House. It is silly to discount Daniels as a candidate simply because he admitted that, as someone who has not even declared candidacy yet, he was not yet as prepared as he might like to be for a debate on that crucially important topic against someone who has had daily briefings on the topic for the past several years.
