Its the international exposure that one would hope both would represent. You can't begin to understand other peoples till you've immersed yourself in their existsnce. Don't you think an american president NEEDS a worldly understanding of humanity??
To be clear, I have not at any time cited his lack of pre-presidential international experience as the singular reason for his flawed foreign policy (in my opinion). But it doesn't take a CSI episode to see the link.
GWB's credibility is questioned much more because the man is more intrinsically flawed. He's a dilletante. Lack of a passport was one of the least of his problems... but certainly one of them!!
Give Clinton his due - Bush inherited a booming economy. As for Bushes problems.. please... he said it himself.. 'I'm a President with war on my mind..'. Nice. What's he going to leave the next president??
