Are liberals trying to steer people away from Obama’s nonexperience by attacking McCains extensive experience?

Question

Absurd comments about being shot down, being a hero, military experience, being a POW, his age, his 24 years as a senator, all being attacked from every angle saying this experience is not good experience for a president. Dozens of questions regurgitate this repeatedly.

Has Obama ever been in the military, flown anything, or even have anywhere near McCain’s experience on anything?

Standard answers: “Obama makes better decisions” “McCain is just like Bush” “McCain is too old” ”Vietnam was bad” “John Kerry’s 2 months in Vietnam were Better” “Clark is better” and on and on. No facts whatsoever showing Obama’s “better” experience or decision making.

Answer 1

Given the number of times that Obama has had to denounce his advisors, obviously he doesn't have enough experience nor does he make better decisions.

Let's see.  First there was his minister, then Jesse Jackson, then Phil Gramm; then he said he made a mistake by putting his kids on TV.  Now he has decided that being a coward on military issues might hurt him, so he wants to beef up troop strength in Afghanistan...after McCain advocated it.

Obama...no way!

Answer 2

Ha-ha... there's only one standard answer that counts... Obama will be the next President of the United States!

Answer 3

I think that a lot of people just want to see any one in the oval office who isn't a Republican, so they stop looking at issues and base their decision on party affiliation alone. I don't think McCain is getting a fair shake because of all the bad feelings directed toward the GOP as a whole.

I like Obama as a person. I'm sure he's a great guy to know. But he is a blank slate. He's like one of those test where you stare at the paper and tell them what you think you see. He is whatever people want him to be. He's a good politician because of his ability to flip-flop without looking like he flip-flopped. I don't think he's shown any real leadership qualities because he's never been in charge of anything.

Personally, I think military service should almost be a requirement for the job. Obama doesn't have that either. Where does he get is leadership skills if he has any?

He's to much of a question mark in my estimation.

The biggest thing he has going for him is he's not a Republican and thats probably all it will take to win in this election.

Good luck.

Answer 4

If your a liberal you see what you believe, but you don't believe what you see.  For me seein is believein.

Answer 5

You are paying too much attention to the talking heads on TV.

They are just trying to get ratings.

Like the idiots goading people on, yelling and screaming, while they watch thier friends fight on the playground.

Answer 6

that certainly makes sense what you said. i'm not sure why everyone has to attack the opponent. politics can be crazy sometimes.

Answer 7

Hey! Obama was a senator for more than one hundred days before he decided he might run for president. That is when he formed his little exploratory committee. If 100 days is not enough experience, what is?  HAHAHAHAHA

Answer 8

liberals are supports of Obama... u mean conservative?

oh ok i get you..

I agree McCain is the dominate one based on experience

McCain 08!

Answer 9

You're correct, McCandidate has far more experience at s******g up than Obama does.

More to the point, he's running a bad campaign. Americans are unhappy with the current leadership of their government. Why would we elect someone so entrenched in it, with no plans to change anything at all? That doesn't make McCain a solution, it makes him part of a longstanding problem.

The only reason that Obama can run for president solely on the word "change", is that McCain isn't offering any.

Answer 10

it is judgment , nit experience and  judgment on Iraq worth more then McCain's senate experience!

and yes McCain is like Bush - in his policies.  Name one economic policy where  they differ.

you are looking for "non standard"  answers - basically answers which will fit your partisanship?!  commander in chief is not a military position   - it  is civil one. (you don not have to have a NAVY captain/low rank experience as a requirement)

Answer 11

McCain's running away from his OWN record and trying to embrace more "conservative" ideas now. The fact is that John McCain, (like many Republicans) is out of touch with reality and out of touch with the needs of the American people.

VOTE OBAMA in '08!!
