McCain reminds Biden he's been tested in crisis

Thanks for posting.
Me neither...AND probably MANY don’t know....
Barack has been tested also. Andy martin said show your birth certificate, and BO said no. There, he was tested
I remember one skimmer telling me about being the Gulf of Tonkin on a destroyer operating with the Enterprise. As I recall, a distress call of some kind came in and the formation went to flank speed to respond. The Enterprise was over the horizon in less than an hour. So it was doing about 30 knots more than anyone else. At least that was the story.
As the crowd of several thousand began to swell with cheers and applause, he added with dramatic effect: "America will not have a president who needs to be tested. I've been tested, my friends."
'Nuff said!
While John McCain was sitting in the cockpit off of Cuba with a pucker factor of 10, Barry was pooping in his diapers. Who really had his sh*t together?
“”I was on board the USS Enterprise,” McCain, a former naval aviator, said in the capital city of Harrisburg. “I sat in the cockpit, on the flight deck of the USS Enterprise, off of Cuba. I had a target. My friends, you know how close we came to a nuclear war.”
I remember the crisis well, I was in the newspaper business then, the Houston Press, at the time Houston had three daily papers and competition was stiff.
While I had not been in the military yet I knew that my efforts to get the news to the public were important, it was my job and I took it seriously. I don’t think that anything could have kept me from my responsibilities during that period, except perhaps if I hurt my newspaper throwing arm, or had a flat on my bicycle or something.
“While John McCain was sitting in the cockpit off of Cuba with a pucker factor of 10, Barry was pooping in his diapers.”
Great line!
“get the news to the public “
I like that very good....I was stationed at the CG Air Station Miami...it was an interesting time.”Imagine and Bear Pit” played a big roll.
I saw McCain’s speech when he said this. Martha McCallum replayed McCain’s comments and then asked a Democratic analyst his thoughts. He acknowledged, while looking a bit concerned, how powerful McCain’s experience is in national security issues. Then he immediately turned to talking about the economy.
If captured, they are taught a code of ethics and expected behavior. McCain had a grandfather and father who were steeped in service to the country and were role models.
Barry was a troubled young man struggling for an identity and mixed feelings about his father and ethnicaly different mother and grandparents. He was indoctrinated in the principles of Saul Alinsky and became a community organizer to stir up class warfare and to manage corrupt construction contracts and later on, the techniques of skimming profits as a slum lord. His spiritual advisor preached anti-American sentiments and race/class warfare in addition to redistribution of wealth. His mentors have ties to the Black Panthers, Saudi businessmen, and self-proclaimed communists, Marxists, and anarchists.
A few weeks ago I watched a copy of ABC/Disney's 'Path to 9/11' (found it on the internet in Bit Torrent format). I now know why the Democrats and the Clintons have banned it. With the clear resolve of Sen John McCain for our security and "No Blink" Gov Sarah Palin on the team contrasted against the wimpy approach Barry has taken to those who hate us - sitting down with our enemies -and Joe Biden's ever-errant mouth and defective mind (assuring Israel that they must come to grips with a nuclear-armed Iran), it would be a landslide victory for the Republicans upon viewing this movie.
I felt physically ill after watching it, thinking about the possibility of a Democrat win in November.
Not only remembering the heroism, but irresponsible and criminal acts of those like Jamie Gorelick and Sandy Burglar and the stupidity of Madeline Albright makes me proud, sad, mad, and nauseated all at once.
There is NOTHING....NOTHING presidential about Barry. I could not contemplate Barry making decisions (with Joe) if we were attacked again under their watch. I am quite scared of who Barry would have as his cabinet members (like Ziggy), and terrified of who is in his 'kitchen cabinet', like Michelle-Amorosa or folks like Rezko, Axelrod, Raines, and Johnson.
When JFK lowered tax rates and increased revenue, Barry was pooping in his diapers. When Ronaldus Magnus lowered taxes and increased revenue, Barry was drinking, smoking dope, and trying to "collect his feces". When GWB lowered tax rates, Barry alternately says it wasn't enough or as a failure. I guess Barry still has not "collected his feces".
John and Barry had close contact with communists in their younger years - Barry embraced it. John was exposed to communists for over 5 years in a prison camp and left it with quite a different impression.
Will it be a ZERO or a HERO?
This is how the writer ended the article. It's like living in the Soviet Union where the writers edited reality to conform to the party line....
