Obama vs. the POW
John McCain keeps pointing to Barack Obama’s lack of experience as a reason why we should not vote for him for President. Obama says that being a prisoner of war for five years doesn’t qualify one to be President. Let’s face the fact here. When it comes to running a country of two-hundred million people, both have precisely the same amount of experience—zero.
So how do we voters decide whom to choose? We have to judge the candidates on their merits.
McCain is obviously an incompetent and profligate liar, a guy who’s prone to shoot-from the-hip wise-ass remarks (great for diplomacy), kind of stupid (he finished at the ass-end of his class in university), susceptible to moments of memory failure, and he’s 72 years old
Obama is sharp, very intelligent, reasons matters out thoughtfully, is willing to take new approaches to matters, balanced, calm, able to bring people of different views together, a real unifier, and only 46, I believe.
Gee, it seems like a tough choice. How to decide?
Let’s remember McCain crashed 5 jet planes for the good of the country. If he’d totaled 5 automobiles he’d have had trouble keeping his driver’s license. But jet planes costing multi-millions of dollars each, hey, no problem. If he hadn’t been taken prisoner after crash number five, he’d have been given no. 6. You know, his Daddy was an admiral, and so was his granddaddy. That’s very important… Isn’t it?
One of the few clever things McCain has done was to bring up his abysmal performance in college and turn it into a joke, before the Democrats had a chance to, thus admitting it and neutralizing it. This doesn’t alter the fact that we’ve just had eight years of a president who, while not a moron, technically speaking, could only manage to get a C grade at Yale. I don’t believe the country would be thrilled by having another dunce for president for four more years.
But who knows? We elected Bush twice, as if we had an appetite for stupidity. Maybe the idiots who voted for Bush are hungry for more. God forbid.
