I can imagine no reason McCain should say Obama is "unqualified" to be president, or any justification for such a remark. If he's qualified to run he is qualified to serve under our Constitution, period. Whether he would be a good president, or as good, is another issue and McCain addressed that.

The "fact" is Obama should not be president he is a left winger of little experience. I saw McCain's interview and it went very well.

Quite a different take than Calcowgirl. I guess, I’ll have to watch it myself.

I’m not a big McCain fan, but to have everyone jump on his comment based on the Washington Post’s take is not thinking straight. During the interview, he was taken off guard by the comment, and did say as a brush off, if the people vote him in then he’s qualified.

The MSM’s Obama Worship strikes again!

The point is not whether it was a technically accurate statement. It was. The point is that McCain gives the MSM fodder for eyebrow-raising headlines on an almost daily basis. A better campaigner would have said, “Any native-born citizen over 35 is constitutionally qualified, but I bring decades of experience...” thereby not giving the enemedia an opportunity to write a headline such as this. Most people will not see the show nor read the entire transcript to put McCain’s statements in context. What they will do is glance at the headline and say, “Huh? Why would he say that?”

McCain hasn’t been in a knock-down, drag-out political campaign in decades, if ever, and it shows. He STILL hasn’t figured out that the press is his enemy, and he needs to tread very, very carefully around them.
