I don't think this is denigrating his service...it's merely saying that he did not necessarily exhibit a "presidential" skill set. WOuldn't you agree? Does flying a jet and riding a parachute to the ground after your plane got shot out from under you have in it the skill set that a president needs?
I find this statement stunning; you elected an inexperienced dunce with NOTHING on his resume but Community organizing and you ask this question? Seriously??
McCain has been a Senator on many high visibility Committees for 32 years; Obama, all of two years.
You leftist dunces are truly amazing in your hypocrisy, stupidity and irony.
