Can YOU be president?

Last Sunday General Wesley Clark, Obama’s military advisor said that McCain’s military experience did not qualify him to be president.

"Well, I don't think riding in a fighter plane and getting shot down is a qualification to be president,"

In response Senator McCain’s campaign called Clarks remarks as sad and represents the lowest form of politics. They also called the comment an attack on McCain’s military experience and war record.


Of course, in the fashion of good politics, Obama responded to the McCain camp with a well-crafted made in front a cheering Missouri crowd.

“… No one should ever devalue that service, especially for the sake of a political campaign, and that goes for supporters of both sides .We must always express our profound gratitude for the service of our men and women in uniform. Period."

Obama’s attempt to clear the air did not stop some democrats from protesting the attack on General Clark. They feel there is nothing wrong with what was said.

McCain backers found no peace with Obama’s words and asked what Obama has done to qualify him as president of the United States

So what qualifies a person to become president of the United States of America?

No it’s not wealth or an Ivy league education … which many Americans might quickly assume if leaning on the credentials of our last few presidents ….

Here’s the answer:
1. Age- must be at least 35 years old
2. Citizenship- Must be a natural born United States citizen
3. Residency- must have lived in one of the 50 states for 14 years

So both sides need to give it a rest. Both McCain and Obama meet the qualifications ….

Does anyone other than me think the qualification list needs to be revised?
