McCain Hits Obama for Lack of Military Experience

It is interesting that McCain was what looks like correct on Iraq and Obama was probably wrong in terms of the side of history. They both seem to be wrong on immigration. We have what amounts to a “Grapes of Wrath” situation and no one is raising a finger to help. The salmonela tomato flap, now peppers, is probably the result of very sick people working in the fields and defecating on the crops. Both wrong not to help.

I think McCain’s war experience makes him highly likely to have PTSD and unfit to serve.
I suppose McCain is implying that Lincoln and Roosevelt were unfit to be President.
The only President’s who had war experience that made them more fit to serve were Eisenhower and Washington.

According to the reporting above, Admiral Mullen said withdrawal “could” be dangerous, not that it “would” be dangerous.
The last thing America needs is another lying propagandist, such as McCain, who is willing to lie and spin very important statements pertaining to national security.

Obama has no experience of any kind. Americans on election day will not pull the lever for him. It’s just too risky.

McCain is now tealing Hillary’s words about on-the-job training. McCain, didn’t you see wher it got her? Right now McCain is trying his best to show up himself as a good Commander-in-Chief, but he just doesn’t have what it takes. John McCain is too much blustering, too much same old, same old wave of the hand, brushing off that will not advance his cause.
I have my own conspiracy theory about what is going on right now regarding the apparent shift in the Bush Administration towards Obama’s international policy recommendations, but for now, I’d like to say, it is working and that’s OK! Is President Bush trying to increase his approval rating on Obama’s coat tail before leaving office? Is the Scretary of State using her powerful position? You go girl! John mcCain should realise that the current White Hose Staff from Top to Bottom does not want him to replace Pres. Bush, because it would be another four years of pure chaos for the country.
The world, and apparently, even the White House – can see that Obama is the right President for America at this time in its unfolding history. Perhaps there is a measure of myopia in some pockets of the country – GET OVER IT!
John McCain is already history He is an old man, a warrior, a war monger who talks tough, shakes his gun and drops off to sleep. Yet he wants to commit America to 100 years in Iraq. Who is listening and believing and liking what he touts like an old LP record stuck in a groove.

Obama was right in Iraq. We should not have gone.
Now the Iraqi government is siding with Obama for the troops to get out of Iraq just as Obama said.
Will we go or will we stay by force?
Only Obama has the mental and strategic capacity to make a decision like this.
If we want to be respected, we need to respect. Republicans want to decide the destiny of Iraq but Iraq has the right to decide its own destiny.
How much would we like someone telling us how to govern our country?
We need an educated president not another ignorant.
We need Obama.

What gives this man the right to stand up like he’s a President already?
Obama doesn’t know what the heck is going on over there.
He’s an embarrassment.
He can’t act like a commander in chief.
Pretty cocky of him.

Sounds like a desperate man…..

Someone please tell McCain that having military experience and serving in the military IS NOT a requirement to being President of the United States. If it were, Bill Clinton would have never been elected or reelected.
When I think about McCain’s service: Graduated near the bottom of his class; poor performance; crashed his plane more than once, captured in Vietnam and made any statement asked to make by his captives – McCain’s military experience doesn’t amount to very much. If those were my credentials, I’d be ashamed of them!
McCain is a decrepit old fool.
Mentally Unstable, Senility has set in.
Doesn’t know Iraq from Afghanistan.
Says Iraq & Pakistan share a border.
Pathetic, Shameful McCain.

Al from NJ and Rick from Pa, one and the same person.Do you really want to
know who wants to stand up for Obama and his supporters? I’ll tell you: America and the rest of the world.
I know that you just cannot stomach the fact that the man looks like a Commander-in-Chief, acts like Commander-in-Chief and WILL BE Commander-in-Chief, but GET OVER IT!!!!!!!!!!!
Who in their right minds want to stand up for old man John McCain? Who can’t even tie his sho laces far less pick up a phone at 3.00 a.m.
GET OVER IT!!!!!!!!!!
Obama is just right for America and the rest of the world

Independent, you wrote: “…you have to wonder how he (Sen. McCain) stays so close in the polls.” That is interesting, isn’t it?
Sen. Messiah vs. Sen. Old, old man!
Sen. Articulate vs. Sen. Bumbler!
Sen. Charming and charismatic vs Sen. Boring!
Sen. Leave Iraq within 16 months vs. Sen. Stay in Iraq until we achieve victory
Sen. Tax the wealthy and add new entitlements vs. Sen. Make the 2001 & 2003 tax cuts permanent and end earmarks!
Sen. No increase in supply of domestic oil vs. Sen. Drill here, drill now!
Sen. For nuclear energy IF safe & clean vs. Sen. Build 45 nuclear reactors by 2030!
Sen. For late term abortions vs Sen. Pro-Life
Sen. 3 1/2 years in Congress vs Sen. 25 1/2 years in Congress!

In justifying his position in Iraq, McCain said on the Today show yesterday that there is a very dangerous situation on the Iraq-Pakistan border. Someone should have told him the Iraq border is 750 miles from the Pakistan border. Brain #### I guess. Or maybe just old age.

Politico writes: “Senator John McCain (R-Ariz.) said ‘Iraq’ when he apparently meant ‘Afghanistan’ on Monday, adding to a string of mixed-up word choices that is giving ammunition to the opposition. Just in the past three weeks, McCain has also mistaken ‘Somalia’ for ‘Sudan,’ and even football’s Green Bay Packers for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Ironically, the errors have been concentrated in what should be his area of expertise — foreign affairs.”

I hate to do this but what is McCain famous for? Being captured by the enemy.Right and this makes him qualified to run our country.This makes a whole lot of sense.

“and even football’s Green Bay Packers for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Ironically, the errors have been concentrated in what should be his area of expertise — foreign affairs.”
FOOTBALL… IS ASSOCIATED WITH FOREIGN AFFAIRS?
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

truthtell:
I didn’t see Obama “in the trenches” in the projects, trying to get health care and fair housing for the poor people of this country, either!
His universal health care plan was the poorest of ALL the candidates, leaving more than 15,000,000 people uncovered.
He took money from Rezko which had kept by him to heat the denizens of his broken down tenements.
As for fair housing…. the developments begun under his watch… are STILL UNFINISHED NINE YEARS LATER!!!!
And the only time “trenches” and “obama’ co-existed side by side was during a recent photo-op when he was sort of filling in a trench with a single sand bag.
Which is why I say:
HILLARY OR MCCAIN
but always:
COUNTRY BEFORE BROKEN DOWN DONKEY PARTY!

” think McCain’s war experience makes him highly likely to have PTSD and unfit to serve.”
quoted from “last call”.
—-
The implication here is that any man or woman who has served in the military and wishes to run for President… should immediately become suspect in our eyes and have his run fore election prejudicially quashed!!!
HEY ALL YOU HEROES AND PLAIN OLD EVERY DAY SOLDIERS AND SAILORS?
HAVE YOU GOTTEN THE MESSAGE!!!!!
READ ABOUT IT HERE FIRST.
COME GET YOUR DAILY PUNCH,

Going to war or being in the Armed Forces does not make you less qualified to become President. There is plenty of people that have never gone to war and know so much about it. This is just another thing that McCain is doing to make Obama look bad but I doubt its working.

Sen. Obama was a child during the Vietnam War. And thanks to some very good Republican and Democratic Presidents, there wasn’t a need to join to fight a war, let alone a war against a faceless enemy. Many of us blacks in our generation joined the military when we didn’t have other options, such as college. There was no reason for anyone to run to join the military, just to say they served. McCain follwed he father’s footsteps in to the military. He didn’t join to one day run for president, as futile as his run is. It takes as real big was hero to put down a man who worked to pay his own way through Harvard. He didn’t have a distinguished Flag Officer to pay for his education. Tell you what, produce the Weapons of Mass Destruction and I will petition the military to allow me to return to duty at 44. further, I prefer President Obama, who has not served, than John McCain, POW, whom you probably could tell anything, and probably won’t listen to the Generals because they have not been shot down, and were not prisoners of war.

McCain questions Obama’s lack of service

ABC’s Jake Tapper reports that John McCain is questioning Barack Obama’s judgment because he didn’t serve in the military. Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., Monday hit Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illinois, not for only being, in his view, wrong on the surge

Obama will be the best president we have ever had.

Sen. McCain said today: “I am going to campaign in all thirteen colonies. My campaign will employ all the latest technology: the telegraph; the carrier pigeon as well as the pony express. John Adams showed me how to use all this new-fangled stuff – we were best buds.”

It must be frustrating for John McCain.
He was rejected by Nancy Reagan for dumping the wife who stood by him during his years of captivity in favor of a younger, richer model. He was rejected by his party for a younger man with a more famous name when he ran for President in 2000, despite his was record compared to the highly questionable record of the younger Bush.
By the time he finally gets Mrs. Reagan and his party back, he finds himself trailing a man who has no military record at all. No wonder he is viciously stiking out at Obama. He does not think we are a nation of whiners.
He thinks we are ingrates.

McCain spent more of the viet nam war behing bars as a POW than in actual combat. Yet he’s critical of Obama about lacking military experience? That doen’t quite pass the logic test.
