The Trip: Stature Gap

Amman-Press-Conference

Mccain-Bush

Given the increasingly apparent stature gap -- with Obama's appearance in Amman taking on the vitality and the look-and-feel of a full-fledged Presidential news conference -- the difference between the first shot above and the "country club-like," dynastic, retired, "that vision-thing" quality of Mac and Poppy, and the recorders, is not the function of media bias, as McCain's understandable frustrated advisers insist. It's the embodiment -- after an eight year leadership and engagement vacuum -- of actual difference.
