re: #260 Petero1818
I certainly did not intend to portray him as a pussy cat and getting rolled over. Quite the contrary. Diplomats, particularly in a post as important as his, are master negotiators and tacticians. I see those as different skills than those required to be elected President.
You never know who is cut out for it until they get into office - not many people (inclding the COnservatives here) thought that Obama would have the balls to overthrow Gaddafi, or give kill orders on the pirates….(and on and on)
