John McCain said it this morning: Obama is absolutely qualified to be ... uhhh ... President of the United States?

POTUS in January 2009?

Listening to Sen. McCain this morning on "Fox News Sunday," I was suprised to hear him state that Sen. Barack Obama, would be "absolutely" qualified to be president, should the voters elect him.

Realworldview more realistically listed as Obama's [ears!] qualifications for becoming our president as

"Of all the candidates, Obama is best equipped to listen to the people; second, the Secret Service will never lose a President Obama in a crowd; third, just think of how much gas money the country could save by doing away with Air Force One - added benefits re global warming, too; fourth, we'll never have an instance where only one advisor has the President's ear - there's plenty to go around; and fifth, in the event of global war, Obama could tin foil his ears and be a one man command and control center thereby ensuring the integrity of the chain of command." ...

Whatever, there seems little doubt in my mind this afternoon that Mr.McCain is by far the most qualified of the three (I guess Hillary is still a mathematically slim possibility) to pick up the job and run with it next January. I may very well change my mind (again) and decide otherwise, but with Huckabee as his running mate, Senator McCain would be a landslide winner in November, notwithstanding my brother Richard's constant harping on those idiotic "Keys to the White House."
