One outstanding quality Obama has over Bush is the ability to sound like he knows whereof he speaks. This has a wonderfully reassuring effect in the heartland.

For example, we need no longer fear the impending implosion of the Pakistani government, which would leave their nuclear weapons stockpile exposed to depredation by deleterious elements… because we now have a leader who knows to pronounce it Pock-ee-stonn in place of Pack-is-tan.

The Associated Press, in a serious analysis, opined that Kim Jong Il of North Korea has crafted his foreign policy under the influence of the 1959 movie The Mouse That Roared (based on he delightful novel by Leonard Wibberley), starring Peter Sellers in multiple roles.

This should provide our diplomatic corps with an easy solution to an otherwise tangled web. They should present Il with a copy of It's A Wonderful Life; that is sure to give him proper perspective on what really matters in our all-too-brief sojourn on this planet.

Then again, we may not want to get him too excited about the virtues of the nuclear family.

Now if they want to read some of our other writers, they had better load up on those Frosted Mini-Wheats.
