Henry Farrell recounts getting stuck in pope-security-related traffic, contrasts the differences between this trip and John Paul II’s 1979 visit to Ireland, and takes this photo:
Henry muses that it “seemed to me to have dark undertones that were presumably not intended by the person who was waving it about.” Personally, I find the canine overtones amusing enough.
Michael,
Try re-reading the statement substituing the word man for boy and see if you can’t then see a substantive question that was raised about Obama. Let me help.
Congressman Geoff Davis, took the criticisms of Mr. Obama a few steps further, likening the change slogan to the pitch of a “snake oil salesman.†He then relayed to the audience that he had taken party in a “highly classified, national security simulation†with Obama.
“I’m going to tell you something: That MAN’s finger does not need to be on the button,†Mr. Davis said. “He could not make a decision in that simulation that related to a nuclear threat to this country.â€
Now maybe you don’t see the relevance, but the idea that Obama would freeze in indecision when faced with a simulation related to a nuclear threat to this country would seem to me to be a substantive issue.

Only if Obama was a part of the simulation, which I gather he was not.
I mean, I just ran a highly secretive simulation that shows that George Bush would have surrendered to Al Qaeda if they attack NYC, does that make it a substantive matter?
Until we know _why_ the simulation shows Obama freezing (and presumable other candidates not freezing), the whole simulation is worse than useless.
