McCain Hits Obama for Lack of Military Experience

OBAMA LACKS EXPERIENCE AND JUDGEMENT
Why didn't Obama, who chaired the senate committee on Afghanistan, call a single meeting on Afghanistan? He keeps wearing out the importance of his vote to not invade Iraq over 4 years ago, but that's 20/20 hindsight, because based on intelligence at the time, it made sense to invade Iraq ... that's why so many of his fellow democrats voted for it. Obama is a monday morning quarterback. Why did he vote present 100 times in the senate? After his misstatements his spokespeople are always having to clarify what he really meant. Being a community organizer ... gaining a seat in the state legislature by eliminating the competition on technicalities, instead of votes ... gaining a seat in the senate due to Senator Jack Ryan vacating his seat due to scandal ... barely getting the democratic nomination with less popular votes than Hillary, and without counting Florida and Michigan ... etc.. What are this guy's qualifications to be President of the United States other than outspending his opponents on ads, and getting unfair coverage from a bias media. Be an intelligent responsible American, elect Senator John McCain for President in November '08

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.

The President and Commander in Chief throughout the bloodiest war in our nation's history also had no military experience...Abe Lincoln. He saved our country. And he fired "commanders on the ground" in order to get the job done.

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's five years as a pow, while commendable, doesn't make him a military genius. There was another pilot that was a pow for around six years and makes no such claims. The rest of the time McCain was a low level officer not in command. But what it SHOULD have taught him was to hate torturing prisoners.

He has also flip-floped and tap-danced around some important issues. He used to dislike lobbyists but now he can't get enough of them, he doesn't know about the economy and he wants to continue GWB's policies.

You can respect the man for getting through Vietnam but not for getting his cue cards from the Bush/Cheney machine to try to make it in Nov. especially after what they did to him in 2000.

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.”

Obama will be the best president we have ever had.

Just because you served in the
military does not make you a
great military thinker or a
winning war strategist.

There are scientists who
may not be trained for
spaceflight but who know
more about the moon than the
astronauts who actually went
there.

This just in. McCain hits Abraham Lincoln for his lack of military experience. Saying this unschooled inexperienced politician from Illinois gives a good speach but could never lead the country.

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 temper is getting the best of him-He is know to be nasty-so now he 's blasting OBAMA for stealing his thunder. WHat else can he do. He can't stop Obama but he can throw a temper tantrum-He knows he has nothing to offer for Iraq but the same Bush policy--He is desperate. His campaign told him to throw get nasty. You see he was with the ex president Bush the other day-anything to get some press coverage away from Obama-(it did not work).

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.

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!

I'm sorry I don't see how just serving in the military makes one more experienced when it comes to foreign policy unless you were pretty high up there in service and were apart of the decision making.

"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

McCain lost the Vietnam war.
He will lose the Iraq war. He
doesn't win because he's persistent
and obstinate in doing what is
wrong.

What military experience is the
geriatric talking about?
