McCain, IMO, is more qualified to handle national security issues than Barrack Obama due to his extensive military, and govermental experience. He comes from a prominent military family, and gratuated from the United States Naval Acadomy at Anapolis.

1. Why does it matter if he came from a prominent military family, how does being raised by admiral's automatically transfer into your having the necessary experience to LEAD the military. Should the sons of generals not have to go through basic training and be automatically put into leadership roles because of their lineage? Explain.
2. He actually doesn't have alot of military experience. Here's an enlightening quote from General Weslery Clarke, who I guarantee you knows more about these issues than anyone on this board.

The truth is that in national security terms, he's largely untested and untried. He's never been responsible for policy forumulatin. He's never had leadership in a crisis, or in anything larger than his own element on an air craft carrier or his own congressional staff. It's not clear this is going to be the strong suit that he thinks it is.

John McCain has also been in the senate for over 22 years, and has made a name for himself crossing party lines to get things done.

How does this (not true) claim have anything to do with national security issues?

Arguably most importantly, McCain IMO, is more willing to use force when necassary than is Obama to protect our country.

Yeah that's a winning strategy in 2008, a candidate who wants more war.

Yesterday, John McCain actually said that if he’s president he’ll take on, and I quote, 'the old boys’ network in Washington.' I’m not making this up. This is somebody been in Congress for 26 years, who put seven of the most powerful Washington lobbyists in charge of his campaign. And now he tells us that he’s the one who’s gonna take on the old boys' network,” he said. “In the McCain campaign that’s called a staff meeting!- Obama, 9/17/2008
