Why was Biden's first move to attack McCain's military status?

"America needs a leader, not just a good soldier"

Uncool. Unnecessary.

What? in a presidential race you are calling foul with mud slinging?

Get used to it. It will come from both sides viciously.

I agree, particularly for someone who didn't serve (Biden).

My take:

As some of you know, I'm a former military servicemember. Am I a 'veteran'? Well, I don't know that I deserve that moniker, but I did serve my country.

I often take shots at the military, because I'm intimately familiar with a lot of the BS that servicemembers are subjected to by civilian authorities.

That said, regardless of any actions they might take, I expect the White House to hold our nation's military in highest esteem and for Biden to come out essentially mocking McCain for being a 'good soldier' is a smack in the face to every good American, because in so doing he mocks the very important job our military does for us all.

I'm perfectly fine with John Q. Citizen making a remark like that, but it's entirely inappropriate for someone who aspires to the White House.

I agree with it completely... You're spinning the statement I think.

You can be a good soldier and a good leader, but the US needs a good leader BEFORE it needs a good soldier.

We've got lots of good soldiers... We need good leaders.

I don't see a problem with his statement at all.

That's a conspiracy theory.

Seriously, why are we even talking about Obama, he's slipping, he's falling, and he won't be able to get back up, according to the poll's. He is a muslim for sure, the guy only know's how to talk a good game, A REAL GOOD GAME, aside from that he is young and I guess COOL so kid's vibe with him. The bottom line is America is getting to know the real him and they don't like it. PERIOD

What's so funny kid?? McCain is 72 year's old, he does not care about the limelight all he cares about is bettering America he has no other agenda. His family before and after him including him have served or are going to serve in the military he is married to a rich wife who did'nt marry him for the money she could have had anybody yet she chose him which means he's a good man. He will protect America and I trust him WAY more then some up-patriotic half-Kenyan nebie

We can talk about that old pandering geezer whore later.

I'm laughing at your "Obama is a muslim for sure" crap.

Dude, you know you don't have a middle name like "Husein" unless you have some Muslim roots!!! He may have converted to Christianity now but I TRULY believe he has a soft spot for Muslims who are our number one enemy. I'm not saying we should be involved or start wars but if somebody destroys and kills people in America aka ("911") we have to inebriate them and that's why we need someone like McCain as President during these unsure times. He is tough and cares about America much, much much much much much more then Obama ever will PERIOD

So your reasoning is that because his middle name is hussain he's doesn't care about America as much as McCain?

And this is how you back the statement: "Obama is a Muslim for sure" ?

That's retarded.

pssst: At 70+ years of age, I think McCain stands the greatest risk of falling and not being able to get back up.

If Obama was white, and was a carbon copy of Barrack Obama would 89% of African-American's still vote for him......?

Hussein is not a middle name I would want in an American President?
