Obama shows his lack of ability to make decisions

Appears you are misreading it.

Unless I'm seeing it wrong he got criticized for thinking the bold above, not for calling for expert views.

 

Sonig, from your source, he wasn't criticized for calling for a commission, he was criticized for his assertion "the fundamentals of the economy are strong." No double standard, at least not if this is the source you're using to show it.

Edit: D'oh! Posted before seeing Grim's post. Yep, this is what I saw as well.

 

McCain was criticized a few months ago when he said he doesn't know much about economics. (or something to that effect)
