McCain has sold out to lobbyists and promised who knows what for his endorsements. Some people still seem to believe everything he says.

In Wednesday''s debate, McCain''s fix for the economy was a joke!

"Because I know how to lead,%u201D he said. %u201CI led the largest squadron in the United States Navy. And I can hire lots of managers, but leadership is a quality that people look for."

How big is a Navy squadron? 10? 100? 1,000? I don%u2019t know the size of the "Navy%u2019s largest squadron,%u201D but I suspect it is pretty small. Not the kind of %u201CD-Day%u201D command McCain is trying to place in the minds of the voters.

Contrast that with Mitt Romney%u2019s leadership. In business, in the Olympics and in government, Mitt has led thousands and tens of thousands. More importantly, Romney%u2019s world is filled with bright people who have minds of their own. Big egos and entrepreneurs know they won%u2019t get %u201Cthrown in the brig%u201D if they disagree or express contrary thoughts and wishes.

True leadership comes from winning over the minds and actions of followers, not barking orders to underlings who can%u2019t object!

How does barking orders to a few duty-bound followers compare to the business world, filled with entrepreneurs and egos that are not obligated to %u201Cshoot and salute?%u201D

I am a Vietnam veteran, myself. And I respect McCain%u2019s military record. Regretfully, John, you are no Eisenhower. And on the subject of fixing the economy, your experience is zero.
