Playing The POW Card

avatar

It seems that McCain wants being a POW to be the only qualification to be president.  He has been AWOL in the  senate for 26 years .  He's only had one job in his  life...working for his father in law.  Obama has got to  attack  McCain's notion that being a POW excuses his poor judgment, character flaws and gaffes on the campaign trail.

These things are the result of McCain's PTSD. I mean, it's conceivable, right? Can he prove he doesn't have PTSD?

I am starting to think that being a POW should exclude one from being able to run for president. It is more than apparent that he is not of right mind. If all of his woes come from being a POW, that should completely disqualify him.

Sorry, can't have your cake and eat it, too.

It's looking like McCain will screw this up on his own. So often will he try to use his POW experience as immunity against gaffes during the campaign, he'll begin to lose the goodwill it earned him.

It'll be a sad thing to watch. Obama should not participate in that process, IMO.
