But Bob Schieffer's response to Clark's comment is funny. Wes Clark: "I don't think riding in a fighter plane and getting shot down is a qualification to be president." Bob Schieffer:

For once you're right. But four years ago he rambled on about how Kerry had seen the tracer and mortar fire. It defined his character. This past weekend he said that since McCain's service came at an early phase of his life and he was involved in strategic decisions that his service was to be respected but not a consideration for his qualifications.

Nice try but Clark misses the point on McCain. Piloting a jet or being shot down in itself does not qualify you for the Presidency. Showing true character under fire by refusing special treatment and sticking with your men even though it means personal hardship shows the spirit and determination that it takes to be President. When has Obama ever been tested in that way? Never. When the going gets tough on Obama he throws someone else under a bus. His granny, his reverend, Clark.

Of course you can' t comment on his John Kerry lovefest of 2004 based purely on his military service, and his dismissal of John McCain's military service, because that would mean you have to admit that the man is a partisan hack.

Granted not a valedictorian like Clark at the Point, but still a graduate of a military academy. I was always told those school were the breeding grounds for future leaders. And no graduate of an military college ever sent troops to war

No. There is no evidence his position is what got him a loan rate that resulted in a savings of about $300 a month. I'd say this is a lot less of a deal than... oh say not paying taxes for four years on your house.

Other than being a General, what would his own qualifications for president have been?

CLARK: Absolutely. ROBERTS: ... in your speech at the Democratic National Convention in 2004, where you talked about his experience of being there under mortar fire. CLARK: Right. ROBERTS: And let's listen to the way that you summed that up. CLARK: Right. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) CLARK: John Kerry's combination of physical courage and moral values is my definition of what we need as Americans in our commander in chief. (END VIDEO CLIP) ROBERTS: So, you said it's what we need in a commander in chief. And I'm wondering how different was John McCain's experience from John Kerry's? CLARK: Well, a lot, because John McCain basically served honorably and well in uniform. He did everything the country could have asked. What John Kerry did is John Kerry got out of the uniform. He took a judgment, a judgment I didn't agree with at the time, but he had the moral courage to stand up for himself and oppose the conflict in Vietnam. ROBERTS: But where was the executive experience that you talked about? CLARK: The executive experience wasn't the issue there, because John Kerry wasn't claiming that he had some special executive experience on national security against George Bush. Kerry's military experience was better than McCain's because after serving for four months in Vietnam, he returned to the U.S. and falsely accused his fellow servicemen of being war criminals?

He doesn't dismiss military service as an indicator of presidential service, he dismisses McCain for not having any military executive power like Clark had as General.

I'd say this is a lot less of a deal than... oh say not paying taxes for four years on your house. so how did he qualify for a rate not available to the public when he never did business with this lender before? This is a bigger deal now that the Senate is trying to put restrictions on lenders. Can he really be unbiased towards lenders who give him preferential treatment?
