President-elect Barack Obama

Thirteen Days

John McLaughlin predicted on his show today that if the U.S. places a missile shield in Poland, Russia would place offensive missiles in...

Cuba.

Yeah. Sleep tight.

Of course the caveat is that McLaughlin is, well, McLaughlin. Nevertheless, there's no-one I'd rather have in the White House in the event of a Russian-Cuban missile fiasco than President-elect Barack Obama. Imagine, on the other hand, McCain or (gulp!) Sarah Palin (end gulp!) dealing with that crisis.
