Seeking Wise Counsel

I have taken on the challenge of reading through the book of Proverbs each month (31 chapters, 31 days). I found a re-occurring theme "in the multitude of counselors there is: 1)safety 2) plans are established". There variations but you get the point.
For all of you who saw the Rick Warren interviews (and those who didn't) there was one question that really scared me. The question, "Who are three wise people you would go to for counsel?"
Obama: "First, my grandmother,..."
McCain: "First, General Petraeus,..."

They each went on to list people of similar caliber. Is this the level of decision making we trust our future to?
Now, I have nothing against his granny, but if Mr. Obama becomes president, will he rely on the folks back on the block to decide his national and international policy? If we can put philosophy aside, (if that is at all possible). The man who has his finger on the button that can make things go BOOM!! should be much more acquainted with who might be tempted to push the button on the other side, or who in fact might have buttons.
Yes I would prefer (choice #3?) for the commander-in-Chief to be a godly man as I understand, but on the other hand Washington, Jefferson, Adams, Harrison & Co. were good presidents but had skeletons in their closets that I won't poke into. God is the righteous Judge who sets up kingdoms and tears them down, ALL WITHOUT OUR PERMISSION.
From a tactical and political point of view, if Jehovah is willing to let the USA stand much longer, I will salute a man at the top who knows and has shown what the words courage and honor stand for.
