Dear American Voters,

Hon. Senator McCain and Obama besides each having many attributes and characteristics. The critical differences in my professional, political, and personal opinion are as under:

1. Presidential "Temperament and Integrity".
2. Little Washington "insider Versus outsider" connectedness.
3. Vision and mission for our future rather than past.

In my professional opinion one senator has it and the other does not. We need one for our Greatgrand Nation to address our all these challenges with a fresh, clean and new slate.

God Bless America. its diverse people, and our Greatgrand Nation.

Yours truly,

Obama keeps rattling off polices of war and foreign relations, and keeps flubbing up with his lack of knowledge.

It does not appear to have much "hope" in this regard. Cannot say he has not learned that there are only 50 states, not 57, in the union.

Good try, though.

Old man continues to yell at cloud.

Obama doesn't need to go to Iraq again to see what a mess it is, when McCain keeps going there and fails to see that even though it stares him in the face. Then again it is pretty easy to see how safe and successful Iraq is now becoming from the "safety" of the green zone.

The odd photo op in Iraq doesn't make him seem more patriotic, only make him seem more patronizing. Maybe if McCain was still in the middle of a primary fight he wouldn't have had the time to go over there and let Joe Liberman whisper in his ear the difference between Al Quaeda and Iran, or the difference between Sunnis and Shias.

Talking to our enemies may be appeasement, but knowing who they are might help.

Poor Obama. He's really starting to reveal the inexperience he claimed he would have in 2004 when asked if he'd run for Prez in 2008.

Tsk. Tsk.

I agree. McCain claims he has experience. Experience of what?

Is it the same experience that convinced him to vote for a war in Iraq.

Or caused him to fip-flop on the Bush Tax-Cut

Or caused him 3 weeks to figure there was a Housing problem in the United States

McCain should learn from "experience" the Bush policies are not working and yet he wants to continue them.

I see no experience. I just see an elderly/old/warmonger man who has no business in the oval office.

Vanessa,

Obama says he'd clean up Washington DC. Based on what? His experience in cleaning up Chicago politics??

Lol.

Sigmond, Obama even lied about quitting smoking. Journalists have admitted they continue to smell smoke on his breath.

Liar. Fraud. Anti American.

No thanks. Vote McCain.

Vanessa, yes those Bush policies that have terrorism down 40% and no attacks on US soil since 2001 are CLEARLY NOT WORKING.

Shame on McCain. Shame on Bush. We want terroist attacks!!

LOLOL. Vanessa is sooo easy it's not even a challenge.

Good advice but directed at the wrong person. McCain needs to take a good long look at himself. Maybe he should read McClellan's book.

That's what so appealing about Obama. He hasn't been in Washington since birth.

Hillary Clinton and John McCain voted for the Iraqi War. Where were their judgement and showcase of experience?

John McCain has no healthcare plan. Experience?

Even though I am a lifelong Democrat, what Senator McCain says does make sense.

Obama's only been to Iraq once, a couple of years ago, yet he presumes that he will be able to end this war if he gets elected. How can you put an end to something when you don't even know how it's operating to begin with?

I also see how much of a reality his pledge "to reach across the aisle and work together with Republicans to solve problems" actually is. He gets invited in good faith to accompany Senator McCain to Iraq and observe the operations first hand with someone from the other party, but can he step up to the plate? Of course not??

Me, Me, Me, and more Me. It's all about Me and I won't share the spotlight with anyone.

That's why he always hated debating Hillary. He couldn't stand to share the spotlight.

I think his problem with traveling to Iraq with Senator McCain is that he doesn't want to be upstaged by a former war hero, and also does not want to show how little he actually knows about
foreign policy and military strategy.

If he really wants to start campaigning in the general election, why not start right here and deal head on with the main issue he's been so critical ("I'm the only one who spoke out against the Iraq war")of everyone else about??

As someone who wants to be commander in chief, you'd think he would anxious to travel to Iraq and show his support for the troops he hopes to lead.

Oh yeah...RIGHT. Obama needs a lecture from Songbird McCain...of the Keating Five. McSame must already have Alzheimer's...he should drink some more Geritol before making a fool of himself again.

Who would you rather listen to?

Petraeus? He was given control of our military in Iraq by Bush. Bush lied to us about Iraq.

Or thousands of soldiers who tell the same story? Iraqis don't want us there.

Remember, the military leaders in Vietnam kept lying to us. Soldiers on the ground told us we should get out. McCain fails to realize that soldiers on the ground are the ones who get to know the mood of the people.

McCain is nominee by default. Not one original idea comes out of his mouth. I can't wait to see this grumpy old man fly off the handle in a debate with intelligence.

SandyB, he does not want to travel to Iraq with McCain right now because that would essentially be using taxpayer funds for a publicity stunt. As president he will have many opportunities to visit Iraq.

On the same day that they had events in Arizona; Ron Paul got over 900 people to attend, while McCain got about 300-400... I think McCain's got some work to do in his own party before he goes after Obama on anything!

Obama lied about his like an uncle Rev Wright who did not liberate Auschwitz.

The news media is trying to hush up the Obama lie.

If he expects to withdraw troops from Iraq (or begin to, anyway) 90 days after taking office, given his terrific lack of experience in such matters, I would say he needs to get some first-hand perspective on the matter ASAP.
