Obamamania....

From the NY Post:

February 14, 2007 -- Quite an introduction Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) is getting to the campaign trail. And quite an introduction America is getting to Obama.

One moment it's a feud with Australian Prime Minister John Howard.

The next he's telling Iowans that the lives of American soldiers and Marines killed in Iraq were "wasted."

Incredible.

Yes, Obama quickly said he had "misspoken." And the next day he offered an "apology" to military families he might have offended.

Might have offended?

We can only imagine.

All of America should be offended.

As we noted here yesterday, Barack Obama is but two years removed from a backbench seat in the Illinois legislature.

We suggested that he needs a tad more seasoning in foreign affairs before seeking the nation's highest office.

Now that appears to be among his lesser shortcomings.

He needs to grow up, too.
