The thing that worries me is that I don't think Obama can make a 
decision quickly and stick with it.  He waffles...I'm reposting this Al 
Jazeera link because I think it makes my 'waffle' case.

It is like he says one thing, then a few days later, he rethinks it or 
his advisors rethink it, and then he has to backtrack.
I keep coming back to that 3 AM phone call...when he has to make a hard 
decision quickly. Will he get it right the first time?
I really think, because he is so different, that a lot of folks might 
want to test him, to see if he is carrying the big stick, or if he is 
just talking smack.
