The 3am phone call

To answer the question asked by that Hillary Clinton commercial…

Of Obama and McCain, Obama is the one I would want to answer that 3am telephone call at the White House.

Obama has the even temperament, keen intelligence, and mental vigor that I would want a leader to have when making tough decisions on little sleep.

McCain is hot-headed, incurious, and increasingly befuddled. On a good day, his ability to effectively carry out the duties of the presidency is questionable. On a day when he is awoken at 3am and asked to make a snap decision of historical importance?
