Are They Qualified To Be President–Info Ink Commentary

This is something that the media keeps throwing into their different analysis of the election. Clinton was qualified because of her experience in Washington as a Senator and the First lady, McCain is because of his military service and his interment and his Senate experience, Obama is because he is fresh and wants to change the status quo in Washington (a laughable premise). So all have the nads to be president and are qualified, right?

Actually all this is just pure crap fed to you by the media! There are only three (3) qualifications to be president. 1) Be a natural born citizen, 2) must have lived in the US for at least 14 years and 3) must be at least 35 years old. It is that flippin’ simple.

So all the crap about this candidate is qualified to be president is just what I said bovine fecal matter. There is nothing to prepare a person to be president, but being the president. It is a job with no equivalent in reality. It is an OJT gig.

I write this so that people realize the hype being fed to the voter has NOTHING to do with the capability of a person to handle the job of president.

Wesley Clark Slams McCain

Retired U.S. Gen. Wesley Clark, a supporter of Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama, on Sunday questioned whether Sen. John McCain’s military experience qualified him to be commander-in-chief.

The dust-up began with Clark’s appearance Sunday on CBS’ “Face the Nation,” where moderator Bob Schieffer asked him about his interview with the Huffington Post earlier this month.

In the interview, Clark said McCain, the presumptive Republican nominee, was “untested and untried.”

“I certainly honor his service as a prisoner of war. He was a hero to me and to hundreds of thousands and millions of others in the armed forces, as a prisoner of war. And he has traveled all over the world. But he hasn’t held executive responsibility,” said Clark, a former NATO commander who campaigned for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2004.

“He hasn’t been there and ordered the bombs to fall. He hasn’t seen what it’s like when diplomats come in and say, I don’t know whether we’re going to be able to get this point through or not,” Clark said.

Recently I was interviewed on Sirius Radio channel 110, The Blog Bunker, and when I was asked about McCain as president, I made similar points, only Clark was much better than I, but I was said to have “bitch slapped” McCain; I would say that Clark had a much more precise “bitch slap” than me.  You go Wes!
