Jack Cafferty, the man who can see through the "brand" and the "staging" of John McCain, Cafferty gets right down to the nitty-gritty! "John McCain graduated 894th in a class of 899 at the Naval Academy at Annapolis. His father and grandfather were four star admirals in the Navy. Some have suggested that might have played a role in McCain being admitted. His academic record was awful. And it shows over and over again whenever McCain is called upon to think on his feet. He no longer allows reporters unfettered access to him aboard the 'Straight Talk Express' for a reason. He simply makes too many mistakes. Unless he's reciting talking points or reading from notes or a TelePrompTer, John McCain is lost. He can drop bon mots at a bowling alley or diner -- short glib responses that get a chuckle, but beyond that McCain gets in over his head very quickly."

There is one guy at CNN who tells it like it is, Jack Cafferty! "George Bush's record as a student, military man, businessman and leader of the free world is one of constant failure. And the part that troubles me most is he seems content with himself. He will leave office with the country $10 trillion in debt, fighting two wars, our international reputation in shambles, our government cloaked in secrecy and suspicion that his entire presidency has been a litany of broken laws and promises, our citizens' faith in our own country ripped to shreds. Yet Bush goes bumbling along, grinning and spewing moronic one-liners, as though nobody understands what a colossal failure he has been. I fear to the depth of my being that John McCain is just like him." I'm sure Cafferty's commentary must get in the craw of all those Repuglican biased commentators that CNN has been so proudly bringing to the fore!!!! Thank You, Jack, for I, too, believe McCain is just like Bush, and quite likely even worse and that's even scarier!

In mulling over John McCain’s questioning of Barack Obama’s “judgment”, I am reminded of the Repuglican’s and Karl Rove’s first rule in campaign strategy, “attack your opponent on their strengths”, “go after them where they are the strongest”, try and discredit their most powerful abilities! The question becomes why. “Why” would they do this? Hmm, obviously it would be to minimize their own inherent weaknesses; by attacking your opponents’ strengths, you are psychologically attempting to cover up your very own weakness!!!

Hmm, the man, John McCain, who voted for an illegal preemptive unnecessary war in Iraq, the man who wants to “stay in Iraq for 100 years”, the man who wants to “bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb Iran”, the man who wants to “drill, drill, drill for oil”, the man who admittedly knows “nothing about economics”, the man who voted FOR Bush policies 95% of the time, is now questioning Barack Obama’s “judgment”! “SEN. JOHN MCCAIN (R-AZ): … Let me be very clear. I am not questioning his patriotism. I am questioning his judgment. I am questioning his judgment.” This is INSANE!

Get ready, I feel a “DRAFT”! Just as day turns into night, just as surely as there were NO WMDs in Iraq -- if John McCain is elected, there will be a draft, get ready to be inducted! “John McCain agrees with re-enacting the draft!”
