Why does it matter? Obama never served, Clinton never served. Doesn't mean they were incompetent CIC's. The majority of our Presidents had no military experience.

..... The majority of our Presidents had no military experience. Originally Posted by SinsOfTheFleshWait just a second, There have been 12 presidents with no military service. Obama is the 43ed unique president in the US History (Grover Cleveland Elected twice #22 and #24 with no military service) Obama is called the 44th president; so 12/43 = 27.91% did not have military service.
The president is not a CEO. CEO's have unchallenged authority and/or board of director input - the board of directors, in most cases, will not unanimously oppose everything that the CEO proposes, simply based upon partisanship. BOD's have a vested interest in their companies success and don't have to worry about keeping to the "party line" or pandering to their parties' hardliners and support bases. That doesn't appear to be the case in Washington. Warren Buffet couldn't save this country if he were not of the same party as the Congress - Partisan Bullshit.

Never said I didn't have a problem with any of them and, I believe they were all incompetent. If you're going to send our troops into harms way, you'd best understand what it's like to get shot at.Obama spent a great amount of time in Chicago- you would assume he knows what it's like to be shot at-lol. All jokes aside serving in the military doesn't me squat- who cares if you know what it's like to be shot at- so by your own words- McCain would have fixed all the problems we have? What advantage does someone being shot at have to do with the economy?
