Obama as CIC is THE reason I’m leaning toward a vote for McCain in November.

At this point, it's far more important who we elect to Congress. Besides, if you and your state have already voted in the presidential primary, your job is done in that regard. Your vote for POTUS in the general election is meaningless in the grand scheme of things.....but the politico's and the laimstream media sure go out of their way to keep up the charade, don't they?

"He has the potential to be one of the all-time greats. I think the senior military will learn that about him starting from the first minute he occupies the Oval Office. ... There's no question that he is kind of scary smart. I think just plain intelligence is a very good quality to have in a commander in chief."

I have an idea, lets put Obaaaama on the ground in Iraq as a test. Let the community organizer "organize" the factions currently in Iraq....

My point, exactly. However, she has no relevant experience to be Commander in Chief ( just as Obama).

Obama understands the Islamic threat all too well because he’s a part of them.

Then they need to get on the stick - get their absentee ballot requests filled out now!! Every unit has a Voting Assistance officer that has the forms and the info; even down range.

In every barrel of apples, you can find a few bad ones. The bad ones are opportunists who see something benefiting them with a political appointment or ambassador position.

Most people that take the office of President do not have relevant experience. Even John McCain, a war hero, prisoner of war... I’m not sure HE would have a LOT of relevant experience.

On the other hand, I’d chose him (were I going to vote for him) over her or Obama.

Every time I watch this I am reminded just what a lightweight this guy is. He is the friend of our enemy because he simply does not understand there are enemies in the world who despise this country.

His approach to foreign policy is like having the vaults at all banks open and then inviting in the crooks thinking they will open accounts before withdrawing cash. This guy is a complete idiot....

Nothing to fear, once Lord Obama assumes the throne, the Four Horseman of the Apocapalypse will ride no more. War, Conquest, Pestilence and Death will be banished forever. There will be nothing to fear but Obama himself.

He was raised Muslem.
Of course he doesn’t “UNDERSTAND” the threat.
He is A PART OF THAT THREAT.

Let's face facts, ORAG: B. Hussein Obama fails miserably in everything except rhetoric.

Funny, ain't it, how the Drive-Bys ignore that fact? I am old enough to remember Reagan, how the press attacked him with the idea that he was a fine speaker, but his ideas were ruinous.

The truth is, though, that B. Hussein Obama is the one who fits that description.

And I believe he steals many of his best lines: something else that will NEVER be spoken about by the MSM.

Obama and his socialism will turn me into an enthusiastic McCain voter, something that is akin to a complete turnaround....because I can't stand McCain.

No Clinton is NOT an unknown. We know very well how badly she HATES the military.

Precisely why I find it amazing and amusing that she's been pushing her readiness as Commander in Chief. Has anyone listened to her since 1992?

Same here. I can't begin to imagine the dangers we will be facing with 4 or 8 years of either democrat. Scary stuff, indeed.

What are your observations from where you are?'

The military people I work with (and there are a lot of them) are all either solidly or at least lukewarm-ly for McCain. I only know one Obama supporter here and he's a civilian who has somewhat dysfunctional social skills. (OPD - Obnoxious Personality Disorder...LOL)

" Shows how much he knows. We'd have to cancel Medicare to afford the shipyard decom contracts. "

Well, that is if a ship is decommissioned in the usual way, mothballed for future use.

I bet a way could be found of taking a ship out of service that costs a lot less... but that isn't really the point, it's only speculation.

Obama isn't what he appears to be. What he is, we don't know yet, but we will find out.

If Obama does manages to get elected, he would be far worse than Carter. The military would be damaged for many decades, and many will quit, one hopes McCain puts an end to this nonsense.

Don't worry, he will have terrorism experts as close advisors.
