Ms Chavez--Where were your "critical question complaints" when the Shrub and Cheney were running?
As a life-long liberal, I share the concern with lack of foreign policy experience to a small extent--but with a bench of foreign poicy wonks like Biden, Richardson and former President Clinton to back stop him I think Obama will be just fine.
Would that the Republican Mouthpieces like you had cast as critical an eye on, say, The Bush-Cheney lies to start a war of choice in Iraq; Or The Republican Parties' comments discounting Global Warming out one side of their mouths while accepting huge campaign contributions from Big Oil and excusing their excess profits and Federal Welfare out the other; Perhaps you could even cast a critical review of the rapid decay of order and discipline in the US Military as characterized by the sacking of 2 of the Air Force's senior management team--due largely to the arrogance and misguided actions of 20 years of Lack of Oversight by a pliant Republcian congress intent on crowing about their patriotic suppport for the military and veterans while their prolicies have deminished the VA medical system and allowed patronage to guide the Military's procurement agenda rather than needs of the service branches.
In short, Ms. Chavez, if the Republicans and Bush 3-McCain want to have a debate about critical analysis of policy choices and ability to govern--we Democrats will be happy to oblige and consign your party to the ash-bin of history where it's failed economic, foreign policy and military dogmas belong.
