Difference In Obama And McCain Endorsements

Let’s see. Barack gets endorsements from Kim Jong Il, Bruce Springsteen, and a Grey’s Anatomy star.

Who does John McCain get?

U.S. Senator John McCain’s presidential campaign today announced that 300 retired generals and admirals from around the country are endorsing John McCain for president. The retired generals and admirals announced their support with the following letter:

“We have had the honor and privilege of serving as career officers in the United States Armed Forces, and of serving shoulder to shoulder with so many of the fine young men and women who are the backbone of America’s Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps and Coast Guard. It is that experience that informs our judgment that John McCain is the presidential candidate best suited to serve as America’s Commander-in Chief from the day of his inauguration.

“Our next president will confront national security challenges as significant as those faced by any administration in at least a generation. Success will require a leader with proven tenacity, judgment and courage. It will also require a leader with detailed knowledge of our military and other instruments of national power, and with years of experience dealing seriously with foreign leaders.

“John McCain’s entire life has been devoted to the service of America. Throughout a long and distinguished career in the military and in Congress, he has repeatedly displayed the courage and integrity to place America’s interests first — regardless of personal cost. And he has demonstrated the experience and wisdom to lead America — and, importantly, our allies — in effectively dealing with complex and vitally important national security challenges around the world.

“We unequivocally endorse him to continue his service to the country as the next President of the United States.”

  1. David Cornish UNITED STATES says:

    Most certainly, these 300 generals and admirals are both Democrats and Republicans. However, they see beyond the race issue (which, by the way, is a positive for Obama in this election cycle) and the rock star media campaign waged by the media for him. America, please look at Obama’s statements over the last 5 years, and not just the polished focus group language of the “debates”. Are we really to hand over the Executive Branch to someone who wants to drastically cut military weapons systems while pledging 50 billion dollars a year to the UN? That is what he has said in the past, folks.
