I received a comment on my last post that I decided to address in a full post. Here is the comment I received: "if Mccain has the intelligence to run our country, then why did he graduate number 794 out of 799 people in his Naval Academy class?" - anonymous reader.

First off, does John McCain hold the same exact degree as the person who graduated first in his class? Did he have to pass the same curriculum? Second, you want to base your vote for President of the United States on a class rank? What does class rank have to do with experience and leadership? John McCain has over 50 years experience since his graduation from the Naval Academy. John McCain has served his country well and has the experience and leadership needed to change the course of our country. John McCain has spent the last fifty years fighting for this country. John McCain is a war hero and a champion of the people in the Senate. During the past two weeks, when our national was headed in financial disaster, who suspended all campaign activities to go back to Washington to help work out a plan? Who was vocal about how the campaign for president was secondary to the fiscal stability of our country? Where was Barack Obama during the last two weeks? Obama is not a hero of the people. Barack cares about Barack. He is not in this for his country, he is in this for himself and his pals. This is evident by in which the nature of his rise to power. Barack is a FRESHMAN Senator for ILL. He was in the senate all 143 days before he started his run for the White House. What record has he amassed in the Senate? What has Barack done for this country? Can you name one piece of legislation with Barack Obama's name to it?

We all agree that the United States of America needs a change and a new direction. But, is Barack the leader we need? Do we need someone who in his 143 days of being a Senator has amassed one of the highest levels of pork barrel spending in the Senate? (see my next post on pork) Obama isn't the change we need, he doesn't provide the leadership we need, and he most definitely does not have the experience we need.
