True Grit

John McCain rarely speaks about his experiences as a POW in Vietnam, but one of his cell mates at the Hanoi Hilton on Thursday described some of the conditions and character traits that earned McCain the commendations he received for his war service.
Col. George “Bud” Day, 83, is the most decorated service man since Gen. Douglas MacArthur, with more than 70 medals. A living legend, Day was blown out of the sky two months to the day before the North Vietnamese shot down a propaganda prize, whose father and grandfather were renowned American admirals.
I blogged about what Bud Day had to say about McCain, but it merits mentioning again.
Admirable, tough and honorable behavior as a POW doesn't necessarily qualify one to be president, but it sure sets McCain apart from Obama and Hillary.
Just take a look at the spineless way Obama has handled the problems surrounding his pastor spiritual advisor and mentor. And look at Hillary crying on the campaign trail.
No contest. None.

However, his political service in the last number of years is going to make it very difficult for me to vote for him. I will vote for him over the Dem, but I will do so fearful of the disappointments and frustrations a President McCain will evoke.
