Presumptuous?

Are we going to be hearing that John McCain is presumptuous? When Obama was overseas just chatting with allies, we certainly got an earful.

Did we repeal the bipartisan foreign policy dictum that "we have one President at a time", particularly during international crises? John McCain seems to think so.
McCain said he's been on the phone with the president of Georgia and complained that the Russians used "some minor conflict" as an excuse to launch a well-planned military operation. (In a conversation with the Tribune, McCain said he has spoken to the Georgian president every day.)
Now he's saying that his campaign surrogates Senators Joe Lieberman and Lindsay Graham will be dispatched to Georgia.

I know I've been away for a few days, but Condi Rice is still Secretary of State, right?
