I voted extensive, because of two main reasons. He is a Republican therefore he had knowledge of FP by talking to Conoliza Rice, UN Ambasador, Off course President Bush. Good or bad those are people with American FP. Secoendly he is not partizon. He learned American FP from both parties. His come from a Millitory family. That made him knowladgeble about war . His two sons are in Militory.He understand that millitory is a professon. People join volunteerly. I strongly believe that when "the Red Phone ring in the white house" he will answer it and take the proper safety for us. He is tough millitory man.What he can do many 30 years old, pencil pusher libarals can not do. More I see him more I get respect and love for him. He is a determind man like Ronald Regan. Regan was "old too." He colored his hair.

You can always tell when obamakins are scared, they high jack the poles. Everyone knows that nobama has no experience in anything except lying and being a crooked politician. I hear they have a jail cell waiting on him, that will be another first to add to his list.

honestly all that came to mind was the clip of him singing 'bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb Iran...' I describe that as scary. the blood isn't running down our streets though, is it.

I think the song bomb bomb Iran is just levity at a most serious and scary situation. Many of us do that to replace fear of a really awful scenario. The next president is going to have to face really serious issues and obama just doesn't have the experience. You can tell that from what "little" he actually states. Some of these countries are run by men who are mentally unstable and "talking" is not going to change them into sweet, likable and kind. If you want the war on our USA shores vote obama and if you don't want war here vote McCain. Its really quite simple. So many think one man, inexperienced as hell, is somehow going to change the world. They are young and so disallusioned and I fear will cause more death by their vote. They want peace so very much, which we all do, that they are willing to just hear some pretty words with not a lot behind them to replace someone strong when and where it counts.

Anyone who thinks that McCain does not have extensive knowledge of foreign affairs is just plain living in a cave. The Obama cave.....

What I think of barack hussein obama is that he has no experience at all. The only exp. he has is sitting in a church pew and listening to that idiot preacher saying everything he can anti american. I do not believe he has disowned that preacher, it is just a cover up. He would say anything to get elected. He has no exp. period. If he would get elected, the american people are up the creek w/out a paddle. McCain is the man we need, we all know him from many years and he is strong on military.You know what Israel said, they want to take care of Iran now, because if hussein obama gets elected he will be too weak and we will be in a real mess. I think hillary has sold out, but I am not sure why, because the dnc has sold her out.

right on to the person that said, obama has no experience. not only that, but he wants to be the first black president. just because his skin is black. i hate to tell him that he is half and half. i know his minister taught him that white's were bad, but that don't change the fact. former hillary supporter, now a mccain supporter.

McCain does have foreign policy experience. In fact, he has more political experience on every topic. Obama has no experience. His foreign experience is vacationing with his family on a beautiful island. Read Obama's books. This bi-racial man, who claims to be 'black' is a threat to our country. From 'Dreams of My Father': “I never emulate white men and brown men whose fates didn’t speak to my own. It was into my father’s image, the black man, son of Africa, that I’d packed all the attributes I sought in myself, the attributes of Martin and Malcolm, DuBois and Mandela.” From 'Audacity of Hope': “I WILL STAND WITH THE MUSLIMS SHOULD THE POLITICAL WINDS SHIFT IN AN UGLY DIRECTION.” Vote McCain in 2008.

My opinion is that, John McCane is a millitory man. He persive war differetly than non millitory man. For example, I am a Trauma Nurse, I look at illness and truma differently. When McCane say abaut a ward, is hard to understand. For example, Democrats famous anti Mc Cane issu is "We might be in Iraq for 100 years." It is a figure of speech by a X-Millitory man." What abou the "Red Phone" in white house. As a nurse, I saw it differently----------- as a president you are "on call 24/7" just like a nurse, millitory man or a fire fighter. Hillary and McCane got it because Hillary's husband was president for 8 years and McCane was a millitory man.

To me experience is far less important than philosophy. Career criminals have experience. That don't make what they do good. Also the President doesn't make decisions in a vacuum. He has at his beck and call myriad advisers who can provide input and guidance to help steer him in the right direction. Even if the "Red Phone" rings at 2am his team will be prepared to brief him promptly. We have to move away from this concept of demanding that the President know all and be all things to all people. He needs to be a leader and administrator first, and he needs to be able to delegate. By the way, having said all this, if we kept our noses out of other people's business the way Dr. Ron Paul suggests, there'd be far less reason to expect that 2am phone call.
