And getting tortured in a prison camp during Vietnam is a resounding qualification for the foreign policy aspects of being a President? Please quit being hypocritical.

Well, it certainly does more to qualify McCain than ANYTHING Obama has done.

But to be fair, McCain has a reasonably impressive track record even without his stay in Hanoi. Again, he wouldn't have been my choice, but he does have a good number of accomplishments he can point to. Obama doesn't have one. Not one. Oh, yeah, he graduated from law school.

There is no reason for the people of the United States to elect a person who has no record of accomplishment. Any of the Republican candidates was better qualified than Obama, by a mile. ANY of them. And frankly, most were better qualified than Hillary, too (whose track record is only marginally better than Obama's).

It is clear you have trouble with being honest. But you cannot HONESTLY say you believe Obama's track record is adequate to warrant your vote. I don't believe any person of intellect could make such a statement.
