Mr Obama has denounced Mr Clark’s remarks on foreign policy and Mr McCain’s service, being shot down, tortured, and so on. The remark:<\/p>\n
When moderator Bob Schieffer interjected that \u201cBarack Obama has not had any of those experiences, either, nor has he ridden in a fighter plane and gotten shot down\u201d, Clark responded: \u201cWell, I don\u2019t think riding in a fighter plane and getting shot down is a qualification to be president.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Well, no. But, Mr Obama is running for President. Is he doing that out of loyalty to his country and a sense of duty … or is it out of a personal drive for power or personal aggrandizement. That is a question that doesn’t<\/em> need to be asked of Mr McCain. He put his life on the line for the country. Mr Obama has not. The distinction remains. Mr Obama, in theory, may be as patriotic as the next veteran like Mr McCain and thousands of others. But … unlike the veterans and those serving … and I might add like me, his (and my) claims of patriotism remain untested by fire.<\/p>\n
No it does not qualify one for President, but it does give us some valuable information about the man and his character. Information which is lacking in the case of Mr Obama.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
