George Will, Obama supporter?

The liberal media strikes again!

Under the pressure of the financial crisis, one presidential candidate is behaving like a flustered rookie playing in a league too high. It is not Barack Obama. ...

For McCain, politics is always operatic, pitting people who agree with him against those who are "corrupt" or "betray the public's trust," two categories that seem to be exhaustive -- there are no other people. ...

Conservatives who insist that electing McCain is crucial usually start, and increasingly end, by saying he would make excellent judicial selections. But the more one sees of his impulsive, intensely personal reactions to people and events, the less confidence one has that he would select judges by calm reflection and clear principles, having neither patience nor aptitude for either.

It is arguable that, because of his inexperience, Obama is not ready for the presidency. It is arguable that McCain, because of his boiling moralism and bottomless reservoir of certitudes, is not suited to the presidency. Unreadiness can be corrected, although perhaps at great cost, by experience. Can a dismaying temperament be fixed?

That's from noted lefty George F. Will, if you couldn't tell from the title of the post. And the implicit answer to his concluding rhetorical question, of course, is: no.

This is exactly what I have come to believe. You can't teach an old dog new tricks. Even if Obama is unsteady at first, he will improve. McCain, not so much. With him, what you see is what you get. And, to be perfectly frank, I have an increasingly time understanding how anyone who's paying attention and being intellectually honest can really like what they see.
