Obama says McCains military record doesn't matter.?

Gen Weselly Clark agrees with Obama on this. Do you think Obama just lost the election because of this stupid remark? In my opinion, Obama must be smoking crack if he truly believes that someone who served honorably in the Navy during Vietnam doesn't deserve respect for his record as a fighter pilot and a POW. It seems to me that Obama is completely clueless abot the reality of the situation and doesn't deserve our votes or our support as the next president.

Any insulting answers by liberals will be reported to yahoo. I am only interested in hearing from people who can respond without using personal attacks against me. Only adults who can talk politics in a mature way are welcomed.

    Clark is sucking up to Obama hoping for the VP spot, this is the same loser from the 2004 election and the same yahoo the military forced into retirement. Isn't it handy how Obama's people will say something that Obama is afraid to say then he just slips 'em right under the bus with his preacher and his grandmother?

    Get a No Cost Background Check Scan at https://bitly.im/aNvQ4

    Its a sensible way to start. The site allows you to do a no cost scan simply to find out if any sort of data is in existence. A smaller analysis is done without cost. To get a detailed report its a modest payment.

    You may not realize how many good reasons there are to try and find out more about the people around you. After all, whether you're talking about new friends, employees, doctors, caretakers for elderly family members, or even significant others, you, as a citizen, have a right to know whether the people you surround yourself with are who they say they are. This goes double in any situation that involves your children, which not only includes teachers and babysitters, but also scout masters, little league coaches and others. Bottom line, if you want to find out more about someone, you should perform a background check.

    Well I'm scared now . Look if McCain would work more for the people that has been impacted by your bush he wouldn't be criticized so much for playing the military card. We all have military back ground, but where looking for answers to problems, and to be truthful I'm not impressed with what I'm hearing from McCain or Obama but were at a point in this country that something radical is going to have to happen, and I'm in the top 4% wage earners in the country but everyone has to be represted.

    I'm not sure if you and I read the same story regarding Clarks remarks about McCain.

    I understood Obama disadvowed any connection to Clarks message and told the news media it was uncalled for.

    I also got the impression Obama actually stuck up for McCain and his military service record.

    Unfortunately Obama often has a case of "foot in mouth" disease. He says things without thinking through the consequences or the way the the words are perceived.

    I think this is a classic case of his words engaging before his brain and he will have to do the two-step to try and mitigate the damage. It is certainly not his first such gaff and I am confident that it won't be his last.

    But yes, Obama seems to attempt to play down qualities in others that he doesn't possess; experience, a workable plan, military service, etc.

    Well ofcoruse Obama is going to say that.

    Obama has no experiece at anything and thus needs to promote the theory that experience is not important.

    Well may I suggest to Obama that the next time one of his family members needs a medical operation that he allows someone with no expereince to do the operation.

    The next time Obama's car breaks down or if his house gets flooded or that he requireds legal or political advice.. that he turns to someone with no experience.

    Experience counts, Obama knows it and knows he doesn't have the political experience to be President, so hr tries to say it's not important.

    Well if that's what he believes that prove it. Gire you campaign managers and hire someone with no experience.

    Get rid of the fund raisers and hire people with no experience.

    Shut done your website and have someone with no experience create a new one for you.

    There are plenty of Americans who won't appreciate Obama's remarks. Plus, I think Obama is still smoking crack. I hope it will cost him the election, but his minions seem willing to accept anything that flies out of his mouth. I'm hoping that the "non-elite" dems can save the day by voting for McCain. You know, those of us who are working-class and clinging to our guns and what have you.

    It doesn't matter. US Grant, who was by far the best general the north had in the civil war, was one of this countries most incompetent presidents, ever.

    William Henry Harrison, another war hero. Also a lousy president.

    Mcain has been shown a number of times making completely contradictory statements about his position, depending on who he's talking to.

    All the war exeperience he can bring to his campaign doesn't change the fact that he has no consistency and his word means nothing.
