I think you hit the nail here. I would only add, "too nice to his political enemies." During the Florida 2000 fight, I thought Bush was too nice, and that we needed a nastier sort of gutter fighter as President. I like Bush on a lot of things but I don't believe I was wrong about that.
Your conclusion about Obama is dead right too. I am increasingly concerned that he would be a disaster as President. Here's hoping we don't have to find out.
I'm really worried that Obama might win.
We need someone really tough and unafraid to speak the truth about what America and Western civilization are facing with the Islamofascists.
I don't know who's more dangerous now, the Islamofascists or the leftists in our midst.
