As for Obama, some of the criticism have been statements he made. And like any politician, he does have skeletons in his closet that he does not want the public to see. And the same goes with McCain or anyone else who is ruining for public office.

And they all deserved the honor of serving in the ANG. except bush - who was bumped to the top of a very long waiting list - the advantages of a Senator's son. His deferment to the ANG took the place of someone who really deserved it - those who wanted to serve in the ANG -
bush was just looking for a way out of Nam - the least bush could have done is complete his duty. Like Rove, could have at least completed college rather then drop out as soon as he was clear of Nam. Yes Clinton sought a deferment on his own. at least he graduated.
