McCain brags he was 5th from bottom graduating yet Obama being called an empty suit!

[glarius]

I have heard McCain bragging with his little chuckle, on several occasions that he was 5th from the bottom of his graduating class. Why is nobody, including the Dems or Obama people pointing this out. We keep hearing McCain's people, repeated ad nauseum by the media, saying that Obama is just an empty suit. Do the American people really want someone with McCain's self-admitted lack of smarts as their leader. They have one dummy in the White House now....do they really want to elect another?

1. I'm waiting on some kind of knock out ad

that will highlight all of McCains negatives....maybe not by Obama's campaign but by another org against McCain......

2. I am sure Johnny only graduated because of Admiral Daddy

and Admiral Granddaddy. And he earned his millions by marrying it. He's a self-made republiklan

4. There are two reasons why McCain may have been near the

bottom of his class. Either he was a lazy party boy or he is ignorant. Maybe he was both. I suspect that he is of average intelligence since he learned to fly an airplane. However, we need a person of above average to be our president. We don't need an Einstein, just someone who is smart and most of all, politically shrewd. Obama fits the bill, McCain doesn't.

6. I find his tossing it off as if it's all rather cute to be offensive.

I wish Obama would agree to one of his town hall meetings. I think Obama would wipe the floor with him!

8. I agree but I still think Obama thinks it is politically unwise

to have the town hall meetings. In the three debates he will certainly wipe the floor with McCain.

5. Can you just imagine

if Obama was 5th from the bottom of his class ANYWHERE? He never would have gotten this far in politics.
Can you imagine if Barack Obama cheated on his wife and left her for a young, beautiful heiress?
Can you imagine if Barack Obama called his wife the "C" word in front of reporters?
Can you imagine if Barack Obama railed against "big government" but never held a non-government job in his life?
I could go on and on....

7. The American people find lack of academic achievement as being

a positive thing in politicians. School is uncool, smarts are overrated, you don't want to drink beer with eggheads, they think they're better than us. Hence Chimpster was elected twice, despite his "gentleman's C's".
