It's interesting that George Will would write this piece on President Obama. I cannot dissagree with Mr. Will's words, but I wonder at his judgement, and am somewhat bewildered at his gall. He couldn't see this coming? Isn't it the same George Will who virtually on the eve of the election was so critical of McCain pretty much endorsing Obama by default. It took this long for him to realize Obama was afflicted with a severe case of self love? What was Mr. Will thinking when he wrote the following on October 9 of last year:

Quote:
It is arguable that, because of his inexperience, Obama is not ready for the presidency. It is arguable that McCain, because of his boiling moralism and bottomless reservoir of certitudes, is not suited to the presidency. Unreadiness can be corrected, although perhaps at great cost, by experience. Can a dismaying temperament be fixed?

His insight is appalling. Obama's big flaw was lack of experience? Mr. Will can you spell B O N E H E A D? When it counted most, George Will has shown himself to be a weak sister( no offense to the warrior spirited women who frequent this board) lacking the skills to discern the lesser of two evils(assuming McCain's boiling moralism is both a reality and an evil). In hindsight, Mr. Will needs to man up. He needs to admit he was an idiot and when good judgement is required , he cannot be trusted. Mr. Will when there's a choice, I will take boiling moralism over lack of moral conviction. Welcome to the party, thanks for nothing.
