I agree with you Ardy. My point is that in the context of arguing over experience, in this case it comes down to what one is comfortable with.
What you say about capability etc.... I couldn't agree with more. Making my own observations, it is my opinion that according to the criteria you posted above, I am more comfortable with Barak Obama.

However, Didn't John McCain go to the Naval Academy?

sure, you can talk to god, but if you don't listen then what's the use? so, onward through the fog!
