I HAVE A girlfriend in New York who puts her boyfriends through Feats of Strength.
Whenever she gets serious about somebody, she brings them home to Wisconsin, ostensibly for a relaxing vacation with her family. Then she leads them through their outdoorsy paces -- biking, hiking, golfing, shooting hoops, swimming -- to see if they can pass muster with her athletic clan.
It starts to dawn on these young men in the middle of their romantic triathlon that they are on a perilous quest and that if they falter, another lad might touch down in Kenosha several months hence.
Now Barack Obama is about to embark on his own Feats of Strength.
Maybe that's why, back home ...
