&amp;nbsp;No. &amp;nbsp;Neither experience has any relevance to being President. &amp;nbsp;McCain has exhibited especially poor judgement in supporting Bush's War in Iraq, having to be coached by Lieberman on the involved religious groups at war with one another in Iraq, and was openly befuddled about which countries border one another in the Middle East. &amp;nbsp;McCain is unqualified to be President. &amp;nbsp;He's been nothing but a shill for lobbyists for years, he's the past not the future. &amp;nbsp;He's completely out of touch with the economy and average Americans because he's never been part of the economy. &amp;nbsp;He's been on the government dole his entire life, now supplemented by his wife's millions. &amp;nbsp;He's a pontificator and poser, but certainly not qualified to lead this country any more than his mentor, GW Bush. &amp;nbsp;We don't need two political disasters in a row.</description></item><item><title>McCain vs. Obama: Lots of pre-convo polls</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/08/24/1288341.aspx#1288401</link><pubDate>Sun, 24 Aug 2008 15:21:14 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1288401</guid><dc:creator>Obama/Biden</dc:creator><description>A new Washington Post/ABC poll has Obama leading McCain by six points nationally among registered voters (49%-43%) and four points among likely voters (49%-45%). &lt;br&gt;_______________&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;This is a back from vaction bump.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;And: 70% of Hillary Clinton supporters “back Obama -- the highest level since she suspended her campaign in June.” &amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Thank you Hillary supporters for coming home.</description></item><item><title>McCain vs. Obama: Lots of pre-convo polls</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/08/24/1288341.aspx#1288785</link><pubDate>Sun, 24 Aug 2008 18:51:09 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1288785</guid><dc:creator>LarryM, Los Angeles, CA</dc:creator><description>Now here's McCain, the Senator from Arizona and up only six points. &amp;nbsp;That says a lot about his own constiuents feel about him. &amp;nbsp;As a matter of fact I would be embrassed if I were him.</description></item><item><title>McCain vs. Obama: Lots of pre-convo polls</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/08/24/1288341.aspx#1288795</link><pubDate>Sun, 24 Aug 2008 19:01:31 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1288795</guid><dc:creator>mazi mazi</dc:creator><description>Hi,&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Shameless media. Do you guys ever have something good to say about Obama and DNC? This guys to me is neither Black or White, his real America of today. He gave hope to millions that have no hope. He gave hope to poor who could make it to the top.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Many of you sounds racist and hide under journalism. Shame on you. You called John McCain negative attack aggressive, and you say that the attack is eroding Obama's numbers on the poll. When Obama attack back you shameless media say Obama is going negative.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;You are knocking on Biden pick and nothing good to write about it.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;You praise John McCain for been aggressive but Obama for going negative instead of saying that he defended himself.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Thank God that none of you shameless things were alive when slavery was on, you would not have the gut to attack it.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Shame! shame!! shame!!! This Obama time and DNC convention but you will give them that, but continue to be GOP mouthpiece. You guys want more of Bush four years on John McCain.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;How about K-5 scander? John McCain was part of it. We still remember it, you cannot hide it.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;You continously using recent McCain ad about Hillary Clinton to campaign for GOP and John McCain, for free instead of educating Americans about convention process using the DNC convention that starts on Monday.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;We will see the role you will play during GOP convention. We know that you will use the time praising your master, John McCain.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;John McCain over using his POW for political gain and none of you question that.</description></item><item><title>McCain vs. Obama: Lots of pre-convo polls</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/08/24/1288341.aspx#1288810</link><pubDate>Sun, 24 Aug 2008 19:13:30 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1288810</guid><dc:creator>Itchy McTriggerfinger</dc:creator><description>ur full of S about the Russia Georgia conflict showcasing McCain strength. &amp;nbsp;Show a poll that says itchy mctrigger finger handled that better than obama. &amp;nbsp;you r pulling out of ur but for your storyt line. &amp;nbsp;O will win,Biden or no.</description></item></channel></rss>
