Is it fair that McCain has access to classified military documents and Obama doesn't?

I saw on CNN yesterday where McCain has access to classified military documents that Obama doesn't.


The reason supposedly is because McCain is on the military committee that has access to these.





So, how is Obama to campaign against McCain on military issues if McCain already has the inside scoop?





Thoughts?|||It doesn't matter. Obama would lose on the military issue by al landslide against McCain anyway. He's just lucky he has many other issues that he will win vs McCain.|||Yes, i think it's very fair.Look at McCain's military career.He saw %26amp; heard a lot in those years.He was a credit to our military %26amp; when he was held prisoner (5) very long years of his life,he was not in some boy scout camp! Sorry, bo has NO military experience %26amp; starting now,there isn't enough time to explain all of that to him.bo could have joined one of our military choices,put in a few years %26amp; come out knowing a little something about it but he chose to try to get to the big top the fast %26amp; easy way.McCain chose the tough way.He loves this country we have %26amp; more power to him.You can't know unless you been there.|||Yes, it's fair.


Obama could have access to much more info, if he were to quit campaigning long enough to do his job in the senate. He is a member of the Foreign Rel;ations committee, committee on Veterans affairs, committee on Health , Education, Labor and Pensions, and Senate committee on Homeland Security and Government affairs.|||Its just all so unfair. Why don't we let the man that is not president and not on the Senate Armed Services committee have access to documents that no other presidential nominee in history, that wasn't either could, see? I mean, after all, he will be president right? Lets just give him a desk now in the oval office by W's.|||I don't know, Obama seem pretty soft when it come to the military. I really can't imagine him being the guy who will defend the nation incase of National Emergency.





McCain on the hand can send a signal to Al-Qaeda that, if they decided to ever set foot on American soil, he'll make sure that they will be obliterated.|||If Obama wants to see classified stuff, let him get on the appropriate committee, like McCain did! Besides, McCain can't use classified info in the campaign. That's the price he pays for getting to see it. He has to keep it to himself.|||I honestly don't trust Obama with our National Security. His eh....associates alone would keep any normal person from gaining any kind of clearance. Obama can discuss issues that are not clearance sensitive and McCain will NOT discuss anything that is clearance sensitive.





USAF Vet/TS|||he does not have the security clearance to view that type of document. Just because he is a bottom of the barrel senator does not give him that privilege.|||Well experience does have it's benefits, heck Obama probably doesn't even know the ranks of the individuals in the military much less how to lead them.|||Of course its fair. McCain has served in the Armed Forces for many years and is a highly decorated war hero. as for obama campaiging againt mccain on military issues...thats a joke.|||maybe soros will buy the info for him|||too bad, so sad.|||GEE what a bad deal|||My thoughts are McCain fought for our Country once and earned that right. Now he's ready to fight for us again.|||Small detail.


Obama is very intelligent. He probably knows more about the military than McCain does. With or with out those documents Obama can debate on the military and mop the floor with McCain.
