Klaus Rohrich: Like a deer in the headlights

"The lesson that all Americans can take away from this situation is that a President should be elected on the basis of executive experience, decisiveness and the ability to make tough decisions on the fly; not on the basis of oratory skills, the color of one’s skin or whether a candidate is 'hot'. Clearly, Barack Obama is an empty vessel and it is entirely possible that despite his good looks, his ability to speak eloquently and the vast good will with which he entered office, he could save Jimmy Carter from being the most ineffectual President the United States has had in the past of century."
