Are we to believe that enemies of the US are all cowering a quaking in fear that this oh so powerful statesman and diplomat may be elected? Other than out and out fear mongering, what is his point? It sounds a lot like GW Bush-style bluster and bravado. I'd like to know...precisely how, John McCain has been "tested"?

I think that if we were attacked by Muslim extremist, Obama would handle it that cool composure that he is famous for while intelligently executing a plan of attack. The Muslim community around the world would relate to Obama and have a better outlook toward the United State that we could cross racial divides and elect someone such as Obama. It shows that Americans regret the Bush years and put someone in the White House to bring, not only our communities together, but the world’s communities together as a whole. If attacked by Muslim extremist, the moderate Muslim community around the would be outraged. I think that if McCain were to be elected, Muslim extremist wouldn’t care about testing him. They would just attack because they view him as more of the SAME and moderate Muslims or the rest of the world would not even sympathize with us for being so ignorant as to pick someone with the SAME foreign policies as the last 8 years.

HA! McCain is so stupid, he's saying 'it doesn't have to happen' -- what -- because he'd be president? Oh sure, right, he'd handle it just like he handled the economic crisis huh? Suspend his white house while he paces back and forth trying to figure out what to do. Look, McCain is no more 'experienced' than I am to handle a crisis. In fact, I am more prepared than he is. He just bluffs a good game, just like Palin tries to do. He has the wrong judgment, the wrong temperament, the wrong vision, the wrong decision making, the wrong no how. So this is a stupid ad, and Joe Biden is telling America that if Barack Obama is tested in this way, he is the only one who can handle this. Go Obama/Biden '08!!

However in less than 90 days, for the first time in his life, Obama will have real responsibility. The slick speeches (he is a very good speaker) and the record amount of money spent on the camaign, in cluding the record amount spent on negative advertising won't count for anything come noon on January 20th. After that, this is all on his clock. He won't and shouldn't get much of a honeymoon by blaming this solely on the Repubicans (though they can take their share). Fellow Democrats such as Dodd, Frank, Waxman and Schumer share a lot of the blame for the advocacy of loans to unqualifed borrowers and stonewalling any attempts to reign in Freddie and Fannie. And remember, it was Bill Clinton that signed the biggest de-regulation bill in November 1999. The Fed also shares in the blame for too low interest rates and failure to recognize the resulting potential problems in the financial markets. If (hopefully) the Dems don't get 60 Senators, it will be up to Obama to follow through on his pledge to work across the aisle. He should anyway, but if Pelosi and Reid have no impediment to their free-spending plans, Obama will have no incentive to stand in their way. The tables will turn in less than 3 months. Based on all the hero-worship I see on these boards and in the news media, I'm expecting perfection. There's no doubt Obama's campaign has been superior to McCain's.
