$\"Gravatar\"$ John McCain loses it under tough question from reporter: http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/w...tory?id=4412383

Article on Salon documenting Pentagon concern over McCain's temperament: http://www.salon.com/news/featur...ander_in_chief/

Susan Rice's is a former State Department official from the Clinton administration. Here's the full quote. Most distortions leave out references to both Clinton and McCain.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/su...-a_b_90336.html

RICE: He hasn't and he hasn't claimed that he's been in a position to have to answer the phone at 3:00 in the morning in a crisis situation. That's the difference between the two of them. Hillary Clinton hasn't had to answer the phone at 3:00 in the morning. And yet she attacked Barack Obama for not being ready. They`re both not ready to have that 3:00 a.m. phone call.

The questions is and what Barack Obama raised is, when that phone call is received for each of them for the first time, who's going to make the right judgment? Who is going to make the right decision?

On the critical foreign policy issues of the day, whether it was a decision to go to war in Iraq or the decision to give President Bush the benefit of the doubt and beat the drums of war with Iran, Hillary Clinton has made the same wrong judgment as John McCain and George W. Bush. Barack Obama has made a very different judgment.

So neither one of them, and nor John McCain for that matter, have had that 3:00 phone call that others have had. And I think we have to be honest about that.

$\"Gravatar\"$ First, if you call that \"losing it\", you are desperate.

Second, he doesn't HAVE to claim he is prepared to answer it... Hillary made that claim for him and the PEOPLE, the respondents to Rasmussem think he is more prepared than either of the other two.

Hillary and Barack just keep doing his work for him.
It is amusing to watch you people try to \"spin\", when all you are doing is \"spinning\" out of control.

$\"Gravatar\"$ Sen. Obama wasn't in The U.S. Senate for a vote and didn't have access to the NIE or other classified materials about Iraq.If the taking down of the Iraq government had been a true victory as President Bush said after he landed on the aircraft carrier and things had been handled better as everyone hoped, the 77 senators and one president would have been a lot happier today.

$\"Gravatar\"$ If you had bothered watching that speech instead of running around repeating what other people say, you would have seen him say Capturing Saddam was \"accomplished\" (The mission) and that there was a long road and a lot of work ahead.

Keep letting others do your thinking for you, you will simply continue to show how uninformed you are.

$\"Gravatar\"$ Spree, there is no sense trying to have intelligent dialogue with the starfish moniker. There is a hatred of Bush that runs through this entity, as well as a narrow focus of fact versus fiction.

It's hard to tell such a person that Bush is NOT on the ballot; the hatred runs too deep.
