McCain commercial question

I just have to get this off my chest. I keep seeing the same McCain commercial on the TV. I think it is on the DC channel, because MD is definitely not a swing state and will definitely go for Obama. Anyway, in the commercial the main point seems to be that Obama has no 'executive' experience and so I wondered does McCain have executive experience? I didn't think so. Also it keeps saying this will be Obama's first crisis 'in THIS chair' and it shows what is supposed to be the president's chair. But the way the narrator says it is really just sounds like it's the first crisis 'in THIS chair' as if he has had other crises just not in that particular chair. Not sure if you get my point, but I laugh every time I see it. I keep wanting to say 'maybe it's time for a new chair'.

John McCain has no executive experience either. They have to say that Obama has no "executive" experience though because of picking Palin. She has less experience than any of them, in terms of years of experience.


The chair thing doesn't make sense though. How many crises has McCain solved in "this chair"?

I know right? It just makes me laugh so hard every time it comes on. My daughter comes in to see what I am laughing at and then says, 'oh it's that McCain commercial again.' LOL

Well, you are far better than I am. I tend to yell at my tv when I see stupid and absurd political commercials. I wish I could just laugh them off -- it sure would help my blood pressure. : )

Well I teach middle school students all day - if you couldn't laugh you would just cry most of the time. Seriously though I do tend to find humor in strange things, my students think I can find humor in absolutely anything, and if they are having a sad day they will come to me and ask me to find something funny, usually I can.

That's an awesome trait to have, and I'm glad you can share it with your students!

Ah but was it 'executive' experience???? And did he have it in a brown leather chair because that seems to be the focus of the commercial.

Yeah, I got observed today by the curriculum supervisor and she said it was the most fun she ever had in a math class - not bad considering I HATED math when I was a kid.

I would consider leadership in the Navy to be executive experience.
