Public Opinion: Were Wesley Clark's Criticisms of John McCain Out of Line?
Retired Gen. Wesley Clark said Sunday on CBS's Face the Nation that "riding in a fighter plane and getting shot down" is not "a qualification to be president." Were the comments from the former four-star general and Democratic presidential candidate a cheap shot at the GOP nominee or a legitimate critique of McCain's credentials? Post your thoughts below.

Clark
I agree with Clark--being involved in military combat does not qualify anyone to become a presidential candidate. There are probably many people who also served equally well that we would never want to be president! However, McCain is not a presumptive nominee because of his military experience, but because he is a highly decorated political activist...2 terms as a U.S. House Representative, 4 terms in U.S. Senate.I feel sorry for Obama.
Keep quite Clark
John McCain is an honorable man and will be an outstanding president. He truly loves this country and will always try to do the right thing and what is best for us all! I hope he soon gets more aggresive in his effort to be elected.
I feel that before November, the true Obama will have surfaced and people will then see that man for what he is. I do not trust anything he says and is is terrifying to think that he could be president!
YES, CLARK WAS OUT OF LINE. HE NEEDS TO KEEP HIS MOUTH SHUT AND NOT TALK ABOUT THE SUBJECT BECAUSE HE DOES NOT EVEN BEGING TO QUALIFY!

Yes they were...He would never have lasted if He had been a prisoner of war during the Vietnam War.. With what everything John Mccain went thru during all those years..It has made him much of a better man than Mr. Clark will ever be...John Mccain would be a great president if elected...
