4. And John McCain - lifetime government employee - does?
He went to West Point for college, then into the military after that, and then into Congress ever since, right?

7. When has McCain ever done anything even resembling
"small business entrepreneurship". A more honest commercial should have had him standing with Cindy holding a picture of his ex wife and saying ""Obama doesn't know how to trade up".

8. Republicans don't know how to run ANY business
not government business, not wall street business, and certainly not joe the plumbers' business because he can't even pay his taxes.

9. Neither does McCain. And Palin failed in hers.. And Joe the Plumber is a tax evader.
Sounds like the three of them couldn't run a calendar kiosk at the local mall, let alone a real business.

15. MOST Americans have no clue how to run a small business, including
many who are currently trying. I'm not aware that this was a qualification for President.

Palin apparently couldn't run that car wash very well - didn't it fail to earn a dime? Maybe she thinks her meth lab shows her superior financial skills?

17. He was briefly a VP in his father-in-laws beer company
but he doesn't put that on his resume any more -- I guess the Christian right might not approve.

18. McCain's* WRONG -- Obama ran the non-profit community organizer gig
And it was more successful when he left then when he went in.

28. Yep. Raised revenue and created jobs.
I guess McCain doesn't think non-profits are "real" companies. :eyes:

31. He probably also doesn't understand that it's harder to keep a non-profit afloat
Than a for-profit venture.

Obama at least worked in small businesses, including nonprofits.

23. First, who cares? the gov isn't a small business. Second, McCain's kissed
the ass of Bush, who has run several small businesses right into the ground--and it didn't seem to bother McCain much to support THAT asshole.

27. Running a Subway is not the same as running a country...
Because when you run a country, you can fall back on deficit spending...

30. Obama has taken a very small campaign and made it into
the largest in history.

Those are management skills I can believe in.
