Remember how the McCain camp, during Obama's recent trip overseas, said he had been acting too presidential, when he wasn't yet the president? Remember how it was a bad thing that he talked with foreign leaders and gave a speech in Berlin, because he was jumping the gun?
Well, McCain, still just a candidate, now brags that he speaks daily to the president of Georgia, conducting his own private foreign policy, with the help of an advisor who is a lobbyist for the Georgian government.
I'd call that a hell of a lot more problematic and presumptuous and even dangerous (interfering in the foreign policy of the administration) than what Obama did.
But there has always been a double standard hasn't there? When a Republican candidate does something it's tough and strong and idealistic and patriotic and proof he can be commander in chief. When a Democrat does the same thing it's presumptuous and elitist and phony and treasonous and a sign he's too big for his britches.
