Filibuster Cartoons

So I was all set to write something about how little foreign policy experience President Obama has, and how heavily he will have to lean on Secretary of State Hillary Clinton during his first term, etc etc. But then it occured to me that of the last six presidents, only one has had anything resembling what could be called “foreign policy experience:” George H.W. Bush, who served as UN ambassador and vice president before becoming prez.
Does it matter that presidents lack foreign knowledge before assuming office? Evidently not in the minds of voters, who in fact that have a marked tendancy to reject the more foreign policy saavy candidate. Discuss!
