The Test is Pass/Fail

Joe Biden said that Barak Obama would be tested his within his first six months in office by some foreign crisis. I don't think the Israel vs Hamas bitch slap really qualifies but this just might. Putin seems intent on reintegrating the former Soviet States into the former Soviet Union. The shit appears to be set to hit the fan around January 20th by design. That indicates to me that Putin has already judged the fiber of Obama and found it wanting. It will be interesting to see if Obama can do more than spout platitudes like he did during the invasion of Georgia. What President Elect Obama needs to understand this that this test is pass/fail.
