Oh, it is his reaction to the Russian/Georgian conflict that scares me. I apologize for all of these links, don't feel like you have to look at them. I'm just putting them up as otherwise I would get incredibly long-winded. Some are from politically liberal blogs, if you do look at them, I wouldn't read the reply comments. There are a lot of idiots out there!
First, last Sunday he spoke of kicking Russia out of the G8 (http://www.crooksandliars.com/2008/07/27/this-week-john-mccain-wants-to-kick-russia-out-of-g8-why-to-teach-them-a-lesson-about-hubris-naturally/). On Wednesday he said "In The 21st Century Nations Don't Invade Other Nations" (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/08/13/mccain-in-the-21st-centur_n_118759.html). Also, on Wednesday this story was reported in the Washington Post- While Aide Advised McCain, His Firm Lobbied for Georgia (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/08/12/AR2008081202932_pf.html), and I think this story published today is interesting - McCain's Focus on Georgia Raises Question of Propriety (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/08/14/AR2008081403332.html).
I don't think that Obama has much of a foreign policy team yet but at the very least he stresses diplomacy a bit more.
