Former Reagan speech writer and Wall Street Journal columnist Peggy Noonan made a big deal of endorsing Barack Obama after John McCain picked Sarah Palin as his VP pick. Now,she is disappointed in her choice.In her column today she writes:
no one, really, sees President Obama as the kind of leader you'd follow over the top. "This way, men!" "No, I think I'll stay in my trench." People didn't hire him to start battles but to end them. They didn't expect him to open new fronts. Did he not know this?......... he seems incompetent and out of his depth in foreign and military affairs......... I cannot for the life of me see how an American president can launch a serious military action without a full and formal national address in which he explains to the American people why he is doing what he is doing, why it is right, and why it is very much in the national interest.

She is right, but why didn't she see this coming? She like many American were fooled by his smooth talk. Now, we know it was on the teleprompter and not in his mind. And she thought Sarah Palin was not ready for "Prime Time"!
