Throughout the 2008 election, the question that's been raised is whether Barack Obama can pass the Commander in Chief Test... well, we think it's only fair that both candidates be put to the test.
They replaced it with an attack on Barack Obama. Thanks to folks like Spencer Ackerman and Keith Olbermann, we've got the real story. To CBS's credit, they posted the original video online. Here it is.

Mike Allen and Jim VandeHei have an interesting item in the Politico the other day that generated quite a bit of attention, about John McCain’s series of verbal “gaffes.”
Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) said “Iraq” on Monday when he apparently meant “Afghanistan”, adding to a string of mixed-up word choices that is giving ammunition to the opposition.
Just in the past three weeks, McCain has also mistaken “Somalia” f
This is reprehensible. This is a travesty of justice. THIS IS WRONG. Bush was doing the same kinds of things in his campaigns, and now when McCain takes a page out of his office, McCain sends his GOONS to execute his marching orders. Absolutely DISGUSTING. DO NOT put this man in the White House, for America's sake!
With America facing historic debt, 2 wars, stumbling health care, a
weakened dollar, all-time high prison population, mortgage crises, bank
foreclosures, etc.

It is time out for 'double talk'! We need someone in the White House that will be more that a symbol of what we think things ought to be but what they should be. We truly need change. Not for whites or blacks but for all AMERICANS!!!
I for one am ashamed to live in a country that would make a decision like the presidency based on race. Our future is at stake! John McCain has proven that he is a war "hero" and for that he has been handsomely rewarded with over 25 years in Politics.
As the video shows he is a liar (which many successful politicians are), a hypocrite and master manipulator. You can see in the video that his story changes every time he opens his mouth. He called Obama inexperienced but he chooses the 'least' experienced running mate for the 'horse and pony' show which has Americans in a 'frenzy' (because everyone loves a show). Just remember that he is quite old and if he dies, we have a "soccer mom" running our country (not to take anything away from her she was Mayor of a small town and is the Governor of one of America's smallest populated states- for 2years!!!) I don't know about you but I am nervous!!!
Check McCain's record (He voted against the King Holiday as Representative of Arizona... He said it was because the people made him? But this is a "Maverick" that does what he thinks is right despite what people think. I'm confused??? But that just speaks to his character.
