Jon Soltz is mean to the Old Fart
In a post at The Huffington Post, he wishes that the troops in harm's way could take a time out to avoid problems that crop up, but they can't. So he has to point out this salient feature of the job of President.
When you're Commander in Chief, I don't think there'd be a worse signal to send to our troops in harm's way than to say, "Hey, hold on guys. I know you're getting killed over there, but I have to get a time-out here to deal with Wall Street."The Old Fart was taking a nap at the time and wasn't told about it.
If troops need to multi-task without a break, is it so wrong that we demand that a potential President-in-waiting prove that he can manage a financial crisis, and still address crises around the world for 90 minutes? And, if a potential President-to-be can't manage that, is it wrong to think that maybe he ought not just suspend a debate and the campaign, but move aside and get out of the race?
