Where did the 3 am phone call originate from?

It seems like it was during the 2008 presidential election but I can't remember who it was targeted towards.

8. Who is saying that?

Who is "they?" Where is that being "reported?"

Seems like a nasty little rumor to spread here, bud, even with the "Oh, but I don't believe that" disclaimer.

6. Hillary Clinton's primary campaign against Obama

The question was whether Obama was ready for the 3am phone call (the foreign policy crisis). The implication was that he was too young and inexperienced to deal with it. Obviously, these charges were just heat of the moment campaign rhetoric, and have turned out to be completely wrong about Obama's character and capacity.

They do seem correct, though for different reasons, about Romney - unlike Obama, Romney seems to lack the character and judgment to deal with crises, and especially foreign policy crises. He is knee-jerk, ideological rather than measured and focused on data, and seemingly controlled by the worst elements of the radical neoconservatives. The real problem, of course, is that Romney doesn't care about foreign policy except perhaps where it concerns tax havens or the relations between various international capital markets. if he behaves like a fool ass puppet of the Bolton Faction, it's because he has no thoughts or interests of his own on these questions. He's an empty suit.

9. The 2008 Dem primaries.

Hillary used that line against Obama, and Obama seemed to pull through just fine.

Fine enough that now Obama can use that line against Romney! Obama's shown damned well he can handle that 3am phone call. As can his Secretary of State!
