Comment of the day

I saw this comment on one of the stories I posted below. It really gives us something completely different - the truth! Since the mainstream media (forever pandering to the right wing whining about media bias) has decided only to be critical of Barack Obama, here is a comment that sums up the unimpressive resume of John McCain.

With all due respect to a true American hero, it appears to me that the bulk of the much vaunted experience of which McCain is so proud has been in losing:

1. Graduated fifth from the bottom in his Naval Academy class;

2. Got himself shot down and captured in the war;

3. Served a full career in the Navy but never matched either his grandfather or father who both achieved the rank of admiral;

4. survived a failed marriage cause by his own cheating;

5. According to his official congressional listing has had only one private sector job, that of “beer distributor;

6. Lost to George Bush in the Republican primaries during which, when asked why he wanted to be president, could only respond, “It’s always been my ambition.”

My guess is that this list could easily be extend to a much longer one. But already, I think it is longer than his list of achievements. In 26 years,one can have two kinds of experiences. One is 26 years of learning and achieving. The other is one year, repeated 26 times. It seems to me, Mr. McCain has had the latter career path and that it has been one of achieving failure.
