In his book "Worth Fighting For", John McCain said:?

Question

"I didn't decide to run for president to start a national crusade for the political reforms I believed in or to run a campaign as if it were some grand act of patriotism. In truth, I wanted to be president because it had become my ambition to be president. . . . In truth, I'd had the ambition for a long time.

Does that sound like he is putting the country first (as he often likes to say), or does it sould like he is putting John McCain first???

Answer 1

Except for Ronald Regan... that makes him Par with about every other president in modern history.

Answer 2

Ego driven blowhard.  Amazing people will let this slide.

Answer 3

seems to me that Clinton said just about the same thing. Why is such an ambition right for a Democrat yet wrong for anyone else?

Answer 4

He is all about John McCain.

Answer 5

This is a very impolitic statement reflective of his personal ambition and indicative of his lack of idealism or commitment to his country.A person of his ilk is totally unqualified to be President, for this and many other reasons.

Answer 6

So ... people who run for president, shouldn't want to be president?

That doesn't make any sense.
