Senator McCain, Dear Gentle Reader(s), has recently taken to reminding voters that he was sitting in a fighter plane on an aircraft carrier when the Cuban Missile Crisis was unfolding, and that the fact that he was there, in that place, at that time, counts for "experience" as opposed to Senator Obama's lack of that experience.
One might question just how much experience applicable to Presidential considerations Mr. McCain gained. When one remembers that he piloted at least three aircraft into crash situations, the fact of his flying days does not reassure vis a vis experience, does it?
The question facing voters in 13 days is whether Senator Obama's judgement trumps Senator McCain's experience. Being there does not necessarily give one the experience which translates into wisdom or sound judgement.
Remember, too, that "W" had fighter pilot "experience" in the 1960s.
And we know how that experience paid off.
Trust, but verify.
