Ready On Day One

It’s sad that I point this out as another of Barack Obama’s qualifications for the highest office, but the past seven years have made it so:

So let me be perfectly clear: I have taught the Constitution, I understand the Constitution, and I will obey the Constitution when I am President of the United States.

Wow. Did you hear that? Children born in 1990, now old enough to vote, may not understand what this means, but let me assure you, it is extraordinary! Chris Dodd has endorsed Obama today, saying he is “ready to be president.” Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton is digging through old pictures, searching for divisive shoewear, ill-advised ethnic pride, or perhaps just a giant afro.
