Did she mean that "neither is ready" or is she saying that "together they wouldn't add up to one president"

Mr. Carlson: So Hillary Clinton runs this ad, the famous red phone ad, that says when the phone rings at 3 o’clock in the morning, you know, who do you trust to make those snap decisions that could hold all of our lives in the balance? And the Obama campaign, I thought very wisely, came back and said, name one that you — you know name a situation where you’ve judged a foreign policy crisis, and she couldn’t.

I’m going to ask the same question to you. Where has — Barack Obama been in a position where he has to make those kinds of decisions?

Ms. Rice: He hasn’t and he hasn’t claimed that he’s been in a position to have to answer the phone at 3 o’clock in the morning in a crisis situation. That’s the difference between the two of them. Hillary Clinton hasn’t had to answer the phone at 3 o’clock in the morning. And yet she attacked Barack Obama for not being ready. They’re both not ready to have that 3:00 a.m. phone call.

The question is and what Barack Obama raised is, when that phone call is received for each of them for the first time, who’s going to make the right judgment? Who is going to make the right decision?

On the critical foreign policy issues of the day, whether it was a decision to go to war in Iraq or the decision to give President Bush the benefit of the doubt and beat the drums of war with Iran, Hillary Clinton has made the same wrong judgment as John McCain and George W. Bush. Barack Obama has made a very different judgment.

So neither one of them, and nor John McCain for that matter, have had that 3 o’clock phone call that others have had. And I think we have to be honest about that.

Obama's relevant experience, however, can be written on half a matchbook cover. Most of that will read: "Chaired an important Senate oversight subcommittee on Afghanistan that he never bothered to convene for a single meeting."

Every other position he's taken has been a continuation of Bush's massively failed policies.

Of course given how Obama is fumbling handling the dangerous Canadians, I suspect she may be right.

Senators Obama and Clinton might be best advised to put a muzzle on their campaign people. Statements like this from Susan Rice, Barack Obama's chief foreign policy adviser, help neither......
