McCain: Obama not ready to be commander in chief

Why would America choose one of the Iraq war's greatest cheerleaders? His advisors were the ones that pushed Ahmed Chalabi's bogus WMD intel, and now Palin is getting her VP lessons from them.

What nonsense. McCain isn't ready to be commander of a political campaign, let alone the presidency.

I can't wait for Obama to win and for McCain to fade back into obscurity.

Okay, so maybe Barack Obama is too inexperienced to be President, but if so, that also means you're too OLD to be President John. I think I hear your trophy wife calling you for your meds.... (or is that your abandoned wife calling you because your first set of kids needs their dad who ran off).

I'm positive that Rush, Hannity and the other con pundits will continue the attacks on Obama, but will the republican's in congress keep up the national war of separation or will they make an effort to bring us together to give the new admn a chance?

Joe the plumber was a plant! He was asked McCains camp to approach Obama and ask the question about wealth redistribution to give fuel to their smear tactic on "Spread the Wealth"! Don't be fooled!

John McCain has highly questionable judgement. His selection of Sarah palin as VP is an obvious indicator. Even more suspect is that he has potentially put his entire campaign in the hands of a non-licensed plumber from Toledo, Ohio. What if joe the Plumber had decided to enjoy his 15 minutes forever by saying that he endorses Barack Obama?

As long as I live, I will NEVER vote for a presidential candidate who has not served in our US armed services. Our great nation deserves a leader who understands what it means to protect this country from all agressors, both foreign and domestic. This responsibility cannot be left to an amateur !!

When will McCain realize who really runs Iran?

McBain, Take a closer look at McCain before you say he's a war cheerleader. He only survived his 5 1/2 years in the Hanoi Hilton because his father was willing to rain bombs down on Hanoi, knowing his son was there. He objected to Lebanon, with wicked foresight that we'd be vulnerable to terrorists. He knows war is hell. He also knows that being half committed to a war is arguably a worse atrocity than doing nothing. Why is it OK for Obama to urge us to go into Sudan (a muslim country) and to show his desire to ramp up the military in Afghanistan? Why is this overlooked? Please stop drinking the Koolaid. Please, wake up America.

Why would we elect someone whose greatest claim to fame is running for president for a year and a half. Obamaites cannot point to any successes from their great leader to be. It is all touchy-feely stuff. NO substance. Sarah Palin has more experience and accomplishments and won't need to have on the job training. Obama is dangerous. Where are his "normal" friends? You know, the ones who aren't terrorists of leftist professors. I seems if he had any they would be parading them everywhere. The media and Hollywood don't count.

100 more years of war! U! S! A! U! S! A! U! S! A!

Funny that McCain, who has had nothing but terrible military judgments, says Obama's not ready to be commander-in-chief. It's McCain who is not ready. Getting shot down doesn't qualify anyone to be commander-in-chief.

Good to see McCain hint at the "experience" issue after abandoning it because of his highly inexperienced VP pick. Regardless of if Obama's policies are 100% correct we need a new direction and McCain is not going in a new direction. I also just read another article claiming Palin may be the future of the gop. Clueless hate mongering undereducated religious nuts...just what we need.

Mr Rhee, is this supposed to be news or editorial content? You just repeated McCain's statements without providing necessary information. Which national security advisors? William Kristol? Randy Scheunemann? Please. We've already heard what the neo-cons and Rumsfeld retreads had to say. They claimed that Iraq was a country that was currently involved in building weapons of mass destruction and an immediate threat to the continental United States. They lied. Why should we listen to them now.

I've seen enough of John McCain's temperamental, erratic, aimless behavior in this campaign to know that I want him no where near the Presidency of the United States. John McCain can take big risks in Las Vegas or in his choice of a running mate. I don't want him taking big risks with my country.

Yes, Obama is ready to be commander in chief. The Secretary of State is the lead cabinet position to consult, as to, what is to be done. Given, Iran, knows America's position as well. New York's, Sen. Hillary Clinton, said it best: " Obama knows what's at stake. " Long as Iran, understands, America will not budge on it's alliance with, Israel. America supports Israel, 100(%) percent and, Israel's security is not a bargaining chip. Iran, captured Americans during the Carter Administration; not Israel. Yes, Obama is ready to be the next president of the United States of America.

Seems that the McCain campaign and the Republican agenda as a whole conveniently forgets the slights made to Iran before the Revolution of '79 which produced the root causes of civil unrest towards America, ie. the overthrow of Mossadeq by an American supported coup and the backing of a dictatorship that would secure U.S. interest in Iran's natural resources, most tellingly indicated by America's outrageous share in the oil consortium.

OK, McCain, if an "untested" Obama's not ready, then explain how a former beauty queen and TV weather girl, who never had a passport until this year, is ready in case her 72-year-old cancer survior running mate IS ready. Like all things McCain, this is just more hot air. How about giving us a reason to vote for you instead of a reason to not vote for Obama?

Tired message. We have heard this one. And all these other fear mongering messages, over and over again. And as often as we reject their validity, McCain, like a jack-in-the-box, pops back up with another. But they are the same rotating claims that he has been making for months in a plaintive effort to get someone, anyone to listen.

Hopefully his droning on and on will be over sometime next week.

Close to Victory, r u nuts to say something like that. You don't have money to support to give youngsters, No money for medicare, have all the young kids killed in Iraq to give comfort to this paranoid bunch of old farts who are on the verge of death.
What you gonna do after you win the war, McCain should not be allowed anywhere close to oval office.

At least not until January first - then Obama will be ready.

Limbaugh and friends are disgusting. Rush would still be announcing barge traffic on a St. Girardo AM radio station had not he leached onto the Clinton's. Bill made Limbaugh and deserves the credit.

No doubt Limbaugh has been like a camel waiting these past 8 years for a drink of intellectual hypocrisy so he can once again renew his bogus career pandering to those who love hating democrats. He will no doubt be indebited to Obama for renewing his career as an over paid windbag.

H

Wow! How come McCain never mentioned this before?

Next thing you know, he'll be revealing that Obama is nothing more than a celebrity, or even a socialist!

Imagine.

What possible merit could a man like Obama have when contrasted with the wisdom and steadiness demonstrated by McCain, say, in his choice of running mate or his actions during the bailout crisis?

Sure glad he's decided not to hold back and finally to let me know these things about Obama before it was too late.

Which of these men is properly qualified to run a military campaign? One has experience running a presidential campaign, the other doesn't. The one with experience has unilaterally disarmed, exhibited no coherent strategy and an impossibly inept tactical game. He couldn't generate consensus among his supporters, cannot get sufficient troops on the ground, appointed an unqualified surrogate as his second-in-command, and is now hemorrhaging support among his allies. In short, with all his experience he's run what may be the most inept campaign in my memory.

I concede that being a Presidential candidate is not the same thing as being a Commander-in-Chief, but then neither is being a Navy Pilot or a POW.

McCain isnt' fit. He claims to be able to get Osama bin Laden yet won't tell Bush or Obama how. Un-American McCain puts bin Laden First not Country First!

Pres. Obama would have a stronger hand talking to Iran if his army wasn't ruined from half-assing 2 wars instead of winning 1.

yeah go mccain . obmama is not ready he wiil be bad at it

I actually think this is a horrible ad...it makes me even more scared that McCain might start some kind of nuclear war. Of course I am looking at this through my pro-Obama filter, but the ad seems to be too scary and says more about McCain than it does about Obama.

Sarah Palin - the most unqualified VP candidate in history.

I'll trust Barack Obama rather than John McCain to be commander-in-chief.

Because McCain knows how to drop bombs and sit in a cell, he is ready ? I don't get that so much. I don't need either "maverick" with an Air Force at their whim.

McCain is a ROBOT. I have seen all three debates, also how this old man conducted himself, and i am convinced who is more fit, mentally and physically to be commander in chief, and that is Mr Obama. I am white, but will not vote white because I am white, but who is better. I think Obama is more credible, than McBush. So what he is doing is a waste of time. The old dog needs to retire.

That ad is terrible. The graphics make me nauseous, I assume that is intentional. That's just awful, McCain should shrivel up and blow away - I'm sorry.

VOTE VOTE VOTE for OBAMA OBAMA OBAMA

And Palin as a heartbeat away? Old Man doesn't know who is on his ticket.

Joe the plumber is a republican puppet. His wife is probably that psycho chick who carved a B in her own face and blamed it on a black dude.

I'm wondering whether the Republicans, including Hannity, Limbaugh & Co., will be able to "get over it," move beyond McCain's defeat, and support Obama as they implored the Democrats to do after W's victories

Isn't it funny that McCain says Obama isn't ready to be president due to experience, but he makes NO mention if he's elected and passes away, if Palin's experience will qualify her to be president, let alone be VP?

I trust Obama much more then McCain, it's a matter of his experiance, temperment and obvious intellegence. You can see the mess that the Republican Party made of our security and position in the world, all McCain will offer is more of the same failed Bush policies, despite his lies to the contrary.

PS - His whole argument is shot to hell over his choice of a lightweight like Palin as his VP.

Hmmmm..we're not electing an army general....it is rather clear that President Obama will have the wisdom to appoint very qualified personnel to be his military and foreign affairs advisors, & best of all, he'll LISTEN to them!! What a refreshing change!
I was watching Senator McCain on Meet the Press- he had several important mental lapses..clearly his age has caught up with him. Senility has set in.
His campaign has flailed ever since he started making stuff up & doing almost nothing but making vile, negative remarks. I have no respect for him or the republican party, which seems to think thats how candidates can get elected.

These McCain people are as dumb as they get. I cannot wait for Tusday to shut them all up. Bush/McCain has destroyed this country and sent us into a depression. That leaves only racists, religious freaks and the ignorant to vote for McCain. The same people that brought us Bush. Uh oh...

Look at the histories of both candidates. McCain has a long history of one screwup after another. His father-in-law even made him sign a prenupt agreement when he married that woman. He has stumbled through life learning nothing from his mistakes, flip flopping from one bad idea to another. On the other hand Obama has scrambled for everything he has in life. He too made mistakes, but he, unlike McCain, learned from his mistakes and put the lesson learned toward making himself a better person and leader.

And do you honestly believe that 5 1/2 years of torture and imprisonment are positive points for a president's resume? Think of the psychological damage that man has suffered-- on top of the self-inflicted damage of years of alcohol abuse. Not to mention the planes he crashed. And his relationships with Nazi collaborators and symphathizers during the Iran-Contra scandal.

The man was SINGING about dropping the bomb. And you want to put his finger on the button?

Just about everyone is more qualified to be commander in chief than John McCain. Except Sarah Palin of course.

Perhaps we should look at all the messes "experienced" presidents have made of the presidency before we automatically use this an a disqualifying factor.
Cool under pressure with the ability to think--not a hot head who has trouble keeping his own campaign in check. Everyone loves a hero so noone wants to really look at the record--afterall we are grateful. I am sad that the "hero" I admired has turned out to be something quiet different.

USA needs a World Leader-in-Chief rolled in with an Economist-in-Chief, but above all a forward looking Uniter-in-Chief, someone with a vision.
Mr. McCain, you are yesterdays man with a Divider-in-Chief as your second in command. With the rhetoric you, your running mate and your campaign is spewing about *real* America and Us and Them, you think you can unite this polarized nation?
You talk about you have been tested, let me tell you something. The enemy will, perhaps, test Mr. Obama but they certainly will test you even harder.
It is time to gracefully let go and let the younger generation take the helm.

We're getting tired of hearing the same old whine from you, John.
You're the one who's unfit to be commander in chief. You've proven yourself to be pro-war, but your voting records prove that you are anti-soldier and anti-veteran, though you claim otherwise.
If people would only do their research, you'd be farther behind in the polls than you are now.

Is anyone else reminded of Hitler's rise in Germany in the 1930's? Maybe I'm confusing my history, but I thought he came to power in a time of economic crisis by preaching a message of hate and fear and blame. The McCain/Palin campaign has done their best to make us fearful and paranoid, much like Hitler did not so very long ago. Do we want to isolate ourselves in fear and hate and refuse to speak to people different from ourselves, or reach out in diplomacy in hopes finding peaceful resolutions?

What a laugh. John the multi-millionaire, self proclaimed war hero and champion of the middle class, with capitol hill barbie as his running mate, will lead us to victory in Iraq. Ha! Like Iraq is Nazi Germany or Imperialist Japan. There will be no victory like you describe John. We're not going after Hitler or Tojo. We're fighting a radical ideology. You're own generals have said it won't be a victory in the definition of the word as we know it. It's another Vietnam, pointless, costly and the best we can hope, and pray, for is the new government in Iraq can deal with their problems. McCain would expand the war effort without telling the American public, like Bush and Nixon before him. John has delusions of grandeur, seeing himself as a war president and the world's top cop. Very dangerous, irrational man, with a very uninformed and gullible woman as his running mate.
God willing, they will be flushed down the toilet next tuesday.

When were the Dem.(Hillary & Biden) lying to us. 6 months ago when they running against Obama they said he was not ready or exsp.Now that there campa.for him they say he is. so when were they lying then or now.

Amazing, those republicans.
They had George W Bush who was a C student.
Now they want McCain who graduated 894th out of 899 (5th from the bottom) at the Naval Academy
And Palin, attended 4 colleges in 6 years before finally graduating.
These people are just the worst intellectual underachievers you can imagine.
And who else do they have? Joe the plumber who is not even licenced and does not pay his taxes.

William Leftwich is an idiot.

It seems strange tha McCain would want to bring up protecting us from Bin Laden and Al Qaeda. He has been a Senator for 20+ years, and has had easy access to President Bush, but he in spite of his claims that he knows how to catch Bin Laden, it hasn't happened. As some have asked, why didn't he tell Bush how to catch Bin Laden.

Can anyone explain to me why McCain would believe that we would be safer with him in charge of the military. McCain was a major screw up the entire time he was in the Navy. He only managed not to be thorwn out becasue his father and grandfather were Admirals, how does any of that make him a more qualified cammander in chief?

Am I the only one who feel very creepy about McCain? I can't wait to see his crawl back to his world of negativity after losing next week. McCain, you are in an election, not a war! Debate your opponent if you can, but don't keep attacking with your weapons of mass deception!

Kelley, Obama is an excellent speaker, an effective debater, extremely knowledgeable, well-tempered and Harvard educated. He surrounds himself with intelligent advisors and has run an extremely successful campaign. How does Sarah Palin even compare?? She could have all the experience in the world, but her performance thus far has been abysmal and embarrassing at best. Her own advisors call her a "whack job" and have indicated that she will need more preparation than any other candidate in history if she makes it to office. Did you happen to catch her interviews with Katie Couric?? Oh... and you indicate that Obama doesn't have "normal" friends?? How about Warren Buffett and Colin Powell? Please people - stop forwarding the chain mail that accuses Obama of being a Muslim Arab communist terrorist and start reading reputable news sources.

Obama isn't ready. That's basically it.

How is it that as citizens of this great country our only choices are a light weight who has never been in charge of anyone or thing...besides a small Senate staff and a campaign staff, which I would argue he is not managing day to day or a Washington insider who has made a great contribution to this country (IN THE PAST)but has no vision for the future?
We don't need professional politicians, we need leaders As they say those who can do...those who can't teach (or enter politics).

"Flanked by many of his national security advisers, John McCain this afternoon aggressively challenged Democratic rival Barack Obama's readiness and capacity to be commander in chief."

"Flanked by many?" How many national security advisers does he need? I thought he was "Experienced"!

"Sarah Palin has more experience and accomplishments and won't need to have on the job training."hahahahahahah. I can't stop laughing. Her experience include abuse of power. Her experience includes appointing friends to important positions in the government. Her experience includes charging taxpayers for sleeping at home and for her children's travel. Her accomplishments include signing a document to possibly build a gas line in ten years. It cost the government 500 million dollars to send this job to Canada. Wow, that's her accomplishment. Scary. Her foreign policy experience is she lives next to Russia. Dangerous, yes McCain and Palin are very dangerous.

At least Obama didn't crash FIVE (5) aircraft - doesnt mention that part of his experience too much does he. (check internet for dates and planes, for example veteransagainstmccain.com)
Additionally, on his premise that his service as a pilot (not that great-see above) and time as a POW (heroic, but he did get caught) will make him a good CinC, perhaps a Walmart greeter is therefore capable of running Maceys. (same tenuous extrapolation ?? (NO OFFENCE intended to Walmart greeters, love em all)

this is all rubbish here and stupid, unobjective comments and most vicious ones from democrats who run down on somebody for his age, disgusting, this is my opinion, and Obama who has never served in th army should not be a commander in chief nor a president with his tolerant attitude towards ahmadinedschad, he is a greenhorn and a catastrophee as president,

Isn't it amazing that a man who lost so many planes before being shot down and captured during wartime; thinks he has better judgment than OBAMA?
The man who brought a beauty queen nobody into the fray so he could have some eye candy for all the redneck voters that can be easily swayed by unfounded suggestions:
And we're to believe HE is ready to lead us?
McCain is NUTS! Even if he didn't pick a crummy VP; how are we to believe he would change things for us when he has had the chance to orchestrate change for a quarter of a century and has not!

McCain has nothing to campaign on except to say "he can't I can" with no true supporting evidence. Now he says Obama can't keep America safe from terrorists.... unreal. When you are desperate, pull the terrorist card to tap into 9/11 emotion. John this is just PATHETIC. You are 72 years old, act your age.

Obama sounds good but it all ends right there. He's a wet behind the ears Senator with no experience doing anything significant. John McCain has been in service to his country since he was a teenager and following in the foot steps of his father and grand father who were also Navy men. John McCain is American through and through. Tried and tested many times over in war and in the Senate. He understands. He knows how Washington operates after 22 years of service and who the players are. Obama's a pretender, McCains a contender. This is a no brainer.. McCains the man.

Heres whats great about this country...in about two years I will be able to come on this site and listen to all of you complain how Obama is the worst president in history...just like you all did with Bush and Clinton before that...but you know the worst thing about it, four years from now you all will vote for some other idiot that is a Republican or Democrat and wonder why nothing is changing. WAKE UP BOTH PARTIES ARE WORTHLESS.....but you idiots keep fighting over it .. dont come up with a better solution and dont come crying when our country is falling apart from the inside out.

Gee McCain, we could not have won the Viet Nam war without you! I respect the following retired senior leaders that have victories in the history and support Obama: Brigadier General Larry Gillespie, Major General Scott Gration, Admiral Don Guter, Brigadier General David "Dave" McGinnis, Brigadier General David "Dave" McGinnis, General Merrill "Tony" McPeak, Admiral John B. Nathman, Major General Hugh Robinson, Brigadier General James Smith, Admiral Robert "Willie" Williamson, and Major General Ralph Wooten.

It's very interesting that John McCain's peers and superiors in the United States Navy passed him over twice to be an Admiral. They believed he lacked the judgment and the temperament to be a commander.

He didn't have it then, and he certainly lacks it now. "Ready?" John McCain will never be ready for anything else but retirement on one of Cindy's luxurious estates where he can drive around in one of their 13 cars.

Vietnam Veteran
Khe Sanh 1968

Both gentlemen plan to increase the size of the military by nearly 100,000 troops.
Both plan to raise "defense," spending which currently exceedsthat of every other nation in the word combined.
Both plan to pay for these increases by conrinuing to borrow money from China.
Neither plans to withdraw from Iraq--please read Obama's exact statements--then ask yourself how many troops he will leave following the "withdrawal?"
Both plan to extend these idiotic wars into other nations-including Pakistan and Syria. This a tempest in a teapot, Real change? Look at Nader.

Did no one realize that the ad is BS... I mean really so what if Iran says thats there preconditions. Doesnt mean Obama has to agree to them, he said he will meet without preconditions. IE - not agree to Irans as well as not make our own stipualtions. Yet again McCains campaign appeals only to stupid jackasses. Sadly those types are in abundance in our country. We can only hope that someone points out to them that;
Obama = Good for everyone
McCain = Bad for the poor and middle class probably the lower end of the upper class, and good for ONLY the UBER RICH.

Tough Decision, what will America do?

I have a beef about the title of this article....McCain says Obama isn't prepared to be comander -in-chief, I'm sure the Boston Globe is putting this headline for it to be a "grabber" of attention....but it sounds like the Boston Globe is making an editorial statement.

Obama is smarter than McCain....we have had a "not smart" president for 8 years, we can't stand another one.

As a veteran of Special Operations, I will NEVER vote for a politician who destroyed evidence of Live POWs in Southeast Asia and attacked the families of POWs and MIAs.

Kerry didn't get my vote and neither will McCain.

Read Sydney Schanberg's expose of McCain - if you still admire him after that, I'll be surprised.

I think it was very stupid of McCain to bring up "Victory In Iraq" at this point. I mean, he is associated with Sarah, after all, who is on a Mission From God to Win the War In Iraq. She has been personally appointed by GOD HIMSELF to achieve this mission and is willing to sacrifice her first-born son, and other people's sons as well.

The "inexperience" attack on Obama may have worked once, but now that McCain has Clueless Sister Sarah to drag him down, it's gonna backfire. PLUS, Obama has Colin Powell endorsing him and advising him now!

OBAMA'S IMAGE SHOULD BE PLACED ON THE 25 CENT COIN ONCE HE GETS ELECTED NEXT WEEK. I mean, George Washington already has the dollar so.
Should we be comparing Obama and G. Washington? No, that would be a very very bad idea, all those ugly things about G. Washington would come out of the closet and that's not what we want to remember him by.

I would agree that it is important that a Commander in Chief serve in the military.
But given the choice that is before us, it is clear which is the right way. McCain's service to the US honorable, but being a POW does not make you qualified to be C.I.C either. Furthermore McCain's outbursts, intolerance shows that he should not be near the button. Every General I have seen has been quite calm, especially under fire or even media attack. That is not McCain. He has anger to resolve. He believes the world owes him something. Being the bottom of you class doesnt give us to go on. And you are a heart attack away from leaving Palin in charge. She is a mess. Power hungry and back stabbing. Watch out for her McCain. In this choice, Obama is the clear choice. We don't need 4 more wars.

I distinctly remember John McCain saying, back during the primaries, that Obama "absolutely has what it takes to be president.".

I also distinctly remember McCain saying he would run an honorable campaign.

Ah, how quickly they forget! He is showing signs of dementia.

Sarah Palin really scared me when she could not stay on topic during the debate, and yackked on and on about whatever she wanted to talk about. She is totally intellectually unprepared to conduct the Senate. McCain has had four melanomas which physicians tell us lead to tumors, and he certainly demonstrates the irritation and lack of poise as a result of that condition. I am a Republican woman, but these two people are not the kind of candidates that my party formerly nominated.

McCain always has something bad to say against Obama, but nothing positive to say about himself or his vision for the country. I thought McCain wanted to be Commander-in-Chief, but he acts more like Complainer-in-Chief or Whiner-in-Chief or Grouch-in-Chief! He's just pathetic. Nothing he says is even worth listening to.

The GOP ran free for six years without any supervision, until the 2006 election opened their actions to scrutiny. Many were tried in the courts and prosecuted for their crimes. The American people are crying out for justice, freedom and equality for all. Until those suspected of crimes like George W Bush, Dick Cheney, Karl Rove etc are impeached and found guilty or innocent in a court of law; the nation will look elsewhere for leaders. Wake up GOP, you can clean your own house, or the Democrats will do it for a very steep price.

Whatever you say old man.......

Your pick of Palin for VP proves you ain't ready to lead a parade much less our great country.

The Third Movement. We are neither Democrat or Republican. We are The Third Movement.
The liberal media can push Obama down the throats of Americans all they want but it doesn't mean all are buying their product. We aren't buying it.
The many patriotic members of our proud US Military and their family members have been forgotten in this election but we have not forgotten Obama. We know that Obama has already sold us out and he will sell us out again in the future. Our voice cannot be counted in the polls but our vote will be counted on November 4th.
We have bled, we have died on the battle fields of Iraq, in Afghanistan and in other places around the world in this Century alone. Obama wants us to lay our arms down and give up what thousands of us have died for but it won't happen.
Obama, Pelosi, and Reid will try to make the defending of our Constituition of none effect by changing it to suit their Party agenda.
From Bunker Hill to the Alamo, from Gettysburg to San Juan, from Somme to Iwo Jima, from the Inchon Peninsula to the Mekong Delta, from Lebanon to Kuwait, from Baghdag to Kabul, WE have defended America and our Constitution. On November 4th, we will continue to defend it. Many of us have already voted from abroad.
From Pearl Harbor to Bremerton, from San Diego to Lackland, from Barksdale to Jacksonville, from Norfolk to Camp Lejuene, from Quntico to Newport, from New London to Great Lakes, from Fort Riley to Presidio, we will not stand down but we stand shoulder to shoulder in this election.
We have voted for or we will vote John McCain for the preservation of the United States of America.

America has been run by slimy crooks for the past eight years and we are worse off now than ever before in history! Do we really want to continue down that same road to oblivia! I think not! Vote America! Vote OBAMA!

Is anyone at all concerned with McCain's anger management issues? How could this notorious hothead ever make an effective commander-in-chief?

Can someone tell me how just because someone has served in the armed forces that make them more qualified to be commander and chief. Bill Clinton did not serve in the armed forces. Bush and McCain just barely served. McCain was a POW most of his time in the armed forces. Look at the contrast between the Clinton years (Surplus, America in Good Standing Thoughout the world)

Mcsane is old and tired a@# veteran. Allowing a veteran to run this country is a tragedy. Their stupidity will cost not just money but innocent soldiers lives. Screw this old bas@#$%.OBAMA is the man to run. He is brilliant and smart.I am yet to see a smart white rule this great country since days of JFK.

Sorry as a recently registered Independent (converted from Republican) I have to comment.
Using the argument that McCain is tried and tested and more experienced than Obama is slightly faulted.
Has he been a Gov? Executive? Not really. Maybe at war he has more experience. We know with his plane crashes and time in a prison cell he has lots of war experience.
McCain was never an admiral himself. Only a commanding officer of a flight training crew and the son and grandson of military commanders and 4 star admiral.
I am sure grandpa and daddy pulled no strings to see their son/grandson gain rank. Ever worked with someone who was a military person prior to that job? Did you ever ask them if they made decisions? Or did someone else make the decision and their job was to tell people what that duty was?
He did serve as a navy liaison to the senate for a while. Apparently this was when he was busy shacking up with Cindy.
So who knows how much Liaison work he was really doing for the Navy as it sounds like he was keeping busy doing Cindy.
That led to his next job working for daddy in law as vp of public relations for Anheuser Bush. Now thats a serious job.. i mean Joe six packers unite behind this guy!! Yep the big beer company. Free ride from here out. Cindy isn't just hot, she got bank.

He served as a congressman and senator. By all accounts these jobs are worthless according to those who claim Obama has never held a job.
So we cant call 28 years as a desk jockey congressman/senator "real experience".

Ok maybe Obama never had a job in your mind. I don't happen to agree.
Obama graduated from a top college Columbia University and Harvard Law where he served as president of harvard law review ,
and also taught constitution law.
So I feel for those who call themselves teachers, since many mcCain supports don't think its a real job.
And lawyers, as much as people hate them. Guess that's just a walk in the park job that you sit around and do nothing too.
And community activists. Hell who needs folks to help those who are poor and uneducated.. I don't see many people signing up for that "Non-job" even though its those people who help others get off the streets and doing something productive even if it means they aren't making 250K a year.

So I read both sides websites directly instead of watching fox news or Cbs News. I read their tax plans and issues they are working for word for word and will use that to make my decision.

What is with all of this; McCain was a P.O.W. and that makes him qualified to be president? I respect him for his services, but does he have a degree in political science? constitutional law? no. The president isn't someone who can hold a gun or survive basic training (I am not trying to offend anyone by saying this. My brother is a veteran & I love him), the president is someone who understands the economy, current technology(which McCain certainly doesn't), the American people, foreign affairs, etc.. Obama may not have the greatest amount of experience with these issues, but at least he has the education.

Yes, what relevant experience does McCain have? Anyway, I think it was Bill Maher who said, "experience doesn't matter if you're wrong all the time."

Can someone tell me how just because someone has served in the armed forces that makes them more qualified to be commander and chief. Bill Clinton did not serve in the armed forces. Bush and McCain just barely served. McCain was a POW most of his time in the armed forces. Look at the contrast between the Clinton years (Surplus, America in Good Standing Thoughout the world)

This is perhaps one of the most stupid comments made by John McCain yet. He claims that Obama could not defend or be ready for any type of attack that may occur. This couln't be farther from the truth!!! Obam will surround himself with the most qualified experts and will benefit this country rather than further damage it as McCain would. Just like the big DRAMA flight to washington to fix the financial crisis? This was the biggest joke in the world as Mccain didn't offer any strategy or recommendations to correct or fix the problem! An to add insult to injury, McCain has lost his mind and doesn't even know what he is talking about these days. Obama/BidenLKM

There goes that Racist-Publican Party (John McCain,) who knows that he has lost is final bid for the White House by using his Buddy George Bush,and the rest of his colonies Scare Tactics.Can someone please let this old man knows that we younger generation are not that easily fearful,in which it is now time for John McCain to go, and find his resting place like an elephant and stop making himself out to be an idiot out of himself for the sake of humanity,and take that little Ms Piggy-Palin with him to which both of them can go and live happily forever after somewhere in theAlaskan wilderness,thank you.NJ1

Obama isn't ready to be commander in chief ?

Said by someone who followed Bush, hook line and sinker, into supporting the Iraq war, a catastrophe for our troops, their families, and the 300 MILLION $$$ we are spending there every single day. While the Iraqi politicians cant decide on anything.

And because of the Iraq war, we lacked the troops to finish off Bin Laden and his key advisors, when we had him trapped in the Tora Bora mountains 5-6 years..

McCAin wouldd just be McSame - a continuation of the greatest disaster we have had since the catastrophe of Vietnam. One would think he would have learned, but he didn't.

Certainly Senator Obama is ready to be Comander in Chief. He is a brilliant man that has a temperment suited to the presidency. I have more confidence in President Obama and his cabinet to protect our nation not only in immediate danger and conflict, but to overwhelmingly protect our nation by using both the Department of State AND the Department of Defense long before trouble wouldever narrow one's decisions to use of force. It is a national shame and pure incompetence what Bush-Chaney have done to our nation, our reputation, and the encouragement of terrorism. For shame. Senator McCain is not only of the same neoconservative cloth, he is farther right. He frightens me by both his shallow reactionary behavior, his temper, and his tactical behavior. He is not a president.

So let’s see now, Bill Ayers not only lived in the same neighborhood as Obama and directly worked with Obama for two years at the “Woods fund of Chicago”, he also hosted a “coffee” to help Obama start his first run for office. This enabled Obama to begin his political career. Bill Ayers also contributed financial help to get Obama re-elected to office.
Just because Bill Ayers bombed U.S. buildings and property and was a fugitive from justice in the late 60’s, does this prove that Obama has or is doing anything wrong? Absolutely not!However, we can be reasonably assured that Obama shares much of the same ideology as Bill Ayers for Bill Ayers to be willing to help launch Oba"In 1970 Ayers was called "a national leader"[28] of the Weatherman organization and "one of the chief theoreticians of the Weathermen".[29]. . . Their founding document called for the establishment of a "white fighting force" to be allied with the "Black Liberation Movement" and other "anti-colonial" movements[30] to achieve "the destruction of US imperialism and the achievement of a classless world: world communism."[31] In June 1974, the Weather Underground released a 151-page volume titled Prairie Fire, which stated: "We are a guerrilla organization [...] We are communist women and men underground in the United States [...]"[32] The Weatherman leadership, including Bill Ayers, pushed for a radical reformulation of sexual relations under the slogan "Smash Monogamy".[33][34]"
ma’s political career and financially donate to his re-election campaign.Stanley Kurtz of the National Review criticizes black liberation theology, saying, "A scarcely concealed, Marxist-inspired indictment of American capitalism pervades contemporary 'black-liberation theology'...The black intellectual's goal, says Cone, is to "aid in the destruction of America as he knows it."

Can we as America afford this kind of change???
We welcome any discourse, and rebuttal concerning the issues.

According to the Democratic agenda our constition is flawed was printed in web because:

We are a nation whom refuses to be without the right to lobby.

Lobby is the means with which WE THE PEOPLE can make government do what we need for them to do to protect our SOCIAL SECURITY and MEDICARE without privatizing and without reduction of benefits without being trampled over by business and special interests to protect the public.

OBAMA enjoyed using our lobby freedoms to build his career he has 47 lobbyists and counting. While now willing to deprive WE THE PEOPLE of ours.

The only one's whom lose without the right to lobby are WE THE PEOPLE. let's face it business will always have the money to make it's voice heard "without" t the right to lobby.

The REPUBLICANS are committed to being "open" to avenues to protect SOCIAL SECURITY and MEDICARE without the loss of services and without privatizing.

We need to vote REPUBLICAN and then AFTER kick into lobby groups whom for as little as 1-5 dollars a year (some give more if they have more) they send the public newsletters (while we tend to our families) lobbyists work tirelessly with CONGRESSMEN AND SENATORS to protect MEDICARE AND SOCIAL SECURITY and public's needs, without loss of services and without privatizing.

This is the beauty of the 'checks and balances" that is the 2-way street that makes the wheels of our FREE democratic system work so well.

According to the Democrats our constitution is flawed because:

We are a nation whom refuses to accept Socialistic healthcare.

Let's face it socialistic healthcare has no plus side to it and never will. It only grants the medical community the right to not care if someone dies while waiting for treatment. Why would anyone want this???

What we as American's need to see as the "real flaw" is to accept a Nation whom constantly is willing to put themselves and those whom work and live at peace with us at security risk by refusing to realize that we need to tie our exit to political progress people.

tieing our exit to political progress will kick start jump our economy OUT of RECESSION 'mode' and place us squarely in re-building phase 'mode" which we should have done this a long time ago. Wall street will then make the gentle sideways move instead of the downward trend it's facing at the moment.

Honestly, How could we have missed the point??? 911 occurred before Bush got a chance to clean the conffetti off of his suit.

This is no time to panic and there is no time to waste. This election is not about race. Rather than lashing out to those whose views are so vastly different from ours we need to take our knowledge and simply talk to everyone about the issues at hand. In our fast paced society it's easy to lose sight of issues. So the fine art of conversation will not go wasted to tell people to get out there and v-o-t-e!!

Vote REPUBLICAN so we can kick jump start our US economy and everyone and businesses OUT of RECESSION 'mode" and simply get US economy and everyone's economy and businesses back to work full speed ahead!!!

Looking forward to seeing everyone at the polls!!

McCain keeps trying to tie Obama to alleged terrorists but McCain directly supports convicted terrorists Roberto Martin Perez and Eduardo Arocena. Paying one and offering pardons to the other. Palin is friends with anti-American Alaska kooks.

CANF, OMEGA-7, Alaska Independence Party. McCain-Palin putting terrorists first.

What relevant experience does McCain have? McCain attended the U.S. Naval Academy, but he graduated 894th out of 899 in his class (or 5th from the very bottom). McCain was a POW. These do not give McCain experience to be president. Also, McCain does not have the wisdom, judgment, foresight or intellect to become commander in chief. McCain is said to be impulsive and was even dubbed "Quick Draw John" by former National Security Council counter-terrorism adviser Richard Clarke, because McCain wanted to invade Iraq even before Bush did.

We do not need a president who will impulsively lead us into another war. McCain already expects to stay in Iraq for 100 years. Will he reinstate the draft?

What I am looking for in the next president is diplomacy. Who can negotiate with the world powers? I want to avoid another war. Even the world, especially our allies, prefer Obama. I am voting for the smart guy who has analytical and negotiating skills.

Give please. Nothing is said that has not been said before.
I am from South and too poorly know English, give please true I wrote the following sentence: "First lintel may be upright attractive and commonly cosmetic but is a acid baldness, propecia vs provillus."

With respect :p, Kiara.
