43% - Obama Not Tough Enough ( Will the visit to the War Zones turn the opinion around????)
Pew Research Center ^
| July 2008
| Pew opinion poll
Posted on 07/19/2008 8:45:28 AM PDT by Ernest_at_the_Beach
A sizable minority of voters (43%) say that Barack Obama would be not tough enough in dealing with foreign policy and national security issues as president, the same number of voters that say Obama's foreign policy would be about right (43%). By contrast, a narrow majority (51%) say that John McCain's approach to security issues would be about right; only 16% say he would not be tough enough. A quarter say McCain would be too tough. The confidence in McCain's foreign policy is reflected in the fact that while public opinion is negative on Iraq, more voters favor McCain (46%) than Obama (43%) on who is better able to make decisions about the war.

He’ll probably just fly close to the war zones, just to say he was there.

I'm afraid B. Hussein Obama will "...Stand With Them." not confront them.

This could backfire on Obama if somehow a “Dukakis in a tank” type picture of Obamessiah comes out; ie. Obamessiah wearing a helmet and body armor, or making some stupid statement to the troops and/or Iraqis.
OTOH, it will give him a chance to meet other people named Barak Obama.

There could be another angle to this rather short stop over. Perhaps Katie Couric was bitching the whole time about not having a clean toilet available.
