But it’s equally clear that in recent years Mr. McCain has become impish cubed — impulsive, impetuous and impatient — and those are perilous qualities in a commander in chief.(1)

What we learned last week is that the man who always puts his “country first” will take the country down with him if that’s what it takes to get to the White House.(2)

And so it begins. The leadership qualities the right wing base looks for in a Presidential candidate summed up in two words…”Impish Cubed”.

My personal take on the confrontation…Obama showed the style and personality I have found wanting in the leadership of our country for a long time. None of the cowboy bluster, none of the “I can do no wrong” bs, none of the confrontational in your face style that McCain is so fond of. I guess when all is said and done I’m just an elitest at heart.
