My Problem With John McCain

I’ve often said that I don’t care for John McCain as a Presidential Candidate. It’s no secret. He has many shortcomings in my opinion, the least of which is his sensitivity to criticism, or the fear of it.
Don’t get me wrong, I think John McCain is a fine American and honorable, I just don’t think he’s Presidential material. More so than the Democratic challengers obviously, but not really the best of the field.
Any how, let’s look at his recent “apology”. These days John seems to be handing out apologies like they’re on sale.
John McCain’s latest apology was aimed at Barak Obama after talk show host Bill Cunningham used Barak’s middle name 3 times during a speech in Cincinnati.
Why would John McCain apologize because someone used someone else’s middle name in a speech?
Well, because Barak Obama’s middle name is Hussein. Ya, as in Saddam Hussein. For some reason not known to many of us, Barak must not want it widely known that this is is middle name. Or why else would John McCain be apologizing because some shock jock used it in a pre-appearance speech?
Funny, I don’t recall an apology when John McCain dropped the F-bomb on Senator John Cornyn.
If Barak Hussein Obama is ashamed of his middle name and Muslim past, then let him change it or make excuses for it. No one, especially a Presidential Candidate, should have to apologize for someone else using one of their Challengers middle name of all things!
Naw, for me, John McCain is soft in way too many areas. I’ve often questioned whether or not John McCain really has the gonads for a knock down and drag out Presidential Campaign, it’s beginning to look like he doesn’t. Actually, it’s looked like this a long while.
It’s no secret that he’s often been more critical of the Presidents policies than he has of the Democrats policies. In fact, many thought he might have joined John Kerry or another third party last elections because of how “soft” and non-conservative many of his actions were.
This latest “apology” just goes to prove that John McCain will be one of these apologetic Presidential candidates who is more worried about his appearance in the Media than he is about his base’s opinion.
