Subject: All that "experience" and wrong information

Experience isn't always right

During the last debate John McCain came off as being very cynical and condescending. It turns out the man with so much “experience” doesn’t do his homework very well.

At one point he (McCain) described Colombia as the "largest agricultural importer of our products." He then looked at Barrack Obama and said if he (Obama) traveled outside the US he would have known that. Actually, Canada imports the most U.S. farm products, and Colombia is far down the list.

McCain said “Joe the plumber” faced “much higher taxes” under Obama’s tax plan and would pay a fine under Obama’s health care plan if he failed to provide coverage for his workers. But Ohio plumber Joe Wurzelbacher would pay higher taxes only if the business he says he wants to buy puts his income over $200,000 a year, and his small business would be exempt from Obama’s requirement to provide coverage for workers.

ABC News reported the morning after the debate that Wurzelbacher admitted to a reporter that he won't actually make enough from his new plumbing business to pay Obama's higher tax rates. ABC said his admission "would seem to indicate that he would be eligible for an Obama tax cut."

It turns out that 'Joe The Plummer' doesn't have a plumbing license, owes back taxes, makes less than $250,000 a year and is a registered Republican, according to television, newspaper and wire service reports Thursday.

These are but two small misleading areas John McCain reported on during the debate. If he and his staff are getting these wrong (or purposely misleading us) what will he be like as President?
