Reply #17: This is how Obama looks at picking someone in the military...

At a fundraiser in April, Barack Obama was asked, long before he’d locked down the nomination, about the kind of qualities he’s looking for in a running mate. “I would like somebody who knows about a bunch of stuff that I’m not as expert on,” he said. “I think a lot of people assume that might be some sort of military thing to make me look more Commander-in-Chief-like. Ironically, this is an area — foreign policy is the area where I am probably most confident that I know more and understand the world better than … Senator McCain.”

It was a reminder that when it comes to his perceived liability, Obama sees a strength. In fact, he’s not lacking in confidence on the issue — asked this week whether he has any “doubts” about the power of his foreign-policy vision, Obama said, simply, “Never.”
