Those of you who think (or thought) Obama was serious contender due o his "towering intellect," should start paying attention. It's not just watching him fumble and squirm when he's giving a speech without a teleprompter. It's becoming clearer and clearer that he's as close to an idiot as some of his leftist congressional colleagues.

And it's important to remember that he touts "judgment," (which he thinks he has), over "experience," (which he obviously doesn't). But as more and more of his relationships, both personal and political come under scrutiny, it becomes apparent that he has neither.

McCain's campaign finds it almost too easy to respond. In this statement recounted by TWS blog, ou can get the sense that hey are cautiously making this slam-dunk - almost as if they think it's some kind of a trap.

John McCain's campaign sent out this statement from the candidate this afternoon. "Senator Obama is obviously confused about what the United States Supreme Court decided and what he is calling for. After enthusiastically embracing the Supreme Court decision granting habeas in U.S. civilian courts to dangerous terrorist detainees, he is now running away from the consequences of that decision and what it would mean if Osama bin Laden were captured. Senator Obama refuses to clarify whether he believes habeas should be granted to Osama bin Laden, and instead cites the precedent of the Nuremburg war trials. Unfortunately, it is clear Senator Obama does not understand what happened at the Nuremburg trials and what procedures were followed. There was no habeas at Nuremburg and there should be no habeas for Osama bin Laden. Senator Obama cannot have it both ways. In one breath he endorses habeas for terrorists like 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and in the next he denies its logical conclusion of habeas for Osama bin Laden. By citing a historical precedent that does not include habeas, he sends a signal of confusion and indecision to our allies and adversaries and the American people.

"Let me be clear, under my administration Osama bin Laden will either be killed on the battlefield or executed. Senator Obama's failure to comprehend the implication of the Supreme Court decision he embraced and the historical precedent of Nuremberg raise serious questions about judgment and experience and whether Senator Obama is ready to assume the awesome responsibilities of commander in chief."

It's no trap. Obama and company just ain't that smart.
