NOW THEY NOTICE?:

Campaign Gives Some Clues to How Obama Will Govern (Dan Balz, 11/06/08, Washington Post)

President-elect Barack Obama proved one of the most formidable political candidates of the modern era, but his résumé is one of the shortest of any recent incoming president, and so knowing for sure the kind of chief executive he will make is something that will have to wait until he takes office in January.

Obama has not had to demonstrate his skills as a negotiator with balky members of Congress. He has met with foreign leaders, but little is known about how he would handle himself in such gatherings. He has faced no crisis akin to what a president can expect. He has steadfastly resisted outlining how the dramatically altered economic and fiscal environment will affect his governing agenda. He has skirted some of the tough questions he'll face in the early weeks of his presidency, particularly on spending.

We had to wait until November 6th for Mr. Balz to realize that the senate trio have no executive experience? Proud performance for the media this cycle, eh?
