McCain admits he was a D student and he is computer illiterate


From the Ohio Daily Blog

So, either he is dumb or he was a spoiled brat kid who got into the naval academy as a legacy and took advantage of the fact that his Dad was Admiral. Or, I guess, it could be both.

Well, here are some excepts from Miltary.com written by fellow POW and one of his Naval Academy friends. The article is titled Why I Will Not Vote for John McCain

As some of you might know, John McCain is a long-time acquaintance of mine that goes way back to our time together at the U.S. Naval Academy and as Prisoners of War in Vietnam. He is a man I respect and admire in some ways. But there are a number of reasons why I will not vote for him for President of the United States...

I believe he must have come as close to his goal as any midshipman who ever attended the Academy. John had me "coming around" to his room frequently during my plebe year.... I could tell many other midshipman stories about John that year and he unbelievably managed to graduate though he spent the majority of his first class year on restriction for the stuff he did get caught doing. In fact he barely managed to graduate, standing 5th from the bottom of his 800 man graduating class. I and many others have speculated that the main reason he did graduate was because his father was an Admiral, and also his grandfather, both U.S. Naval Academy graduates.

So, even Johns friends think he was a spoiled brat. But, this article gets better it goes on to state that:


* As a POW, the author knows that the stress and malnutrition they endured has led to poor health and "So I believe John's age (73) and survival expectation are not good for being elected to serve as our President for 4 or more years."
* John McCain has a low emotional intelligence "I can verify that John has an infamous reputation for being a hot head. He has a quick and explosive temper that many have experienced first hand. Folks, quite honestly that is not the finger I want next to that red button."
* McCain has lied about his position to garner support "I'm disappointed to see John represent himself politically in ways that are not accurate. He is not a moderate Republican. On some issues he is a maverick. But his voting record is far to the right. I fear for his nominations to our Supreme Court, and the consequent continuing loss of individual freedoms, especially regarding moral and religious issues. John is not a religious person, but he has taken every opportunity to ally himself with some really obnoxious and crazy fundamentalist ministers lately. I was also disappointed to see him cozy up to Bush because I know he hates that man. He disingenuously and famously put his arm around the guy, even after Bush had intensely disrespected him with lies and slander. So on these and many other instances, I don't see that John is the "straight talk express" he..."

We can compare this with Barack Obama who graduated Magna Cum Laude from Harvard Law. Then gave up opportunities for wealth to work with non profits helping his community.

Come on people, do we really want another four years of a spoiled brat President?
