<p>McCain made similar comments on Hugh Hewitts radio show. It’s pretty clear in context he’s not talking about 9/11, he’s talking about today.</p>
<p>On Hillary’s experience: there was a letter to the editor in the newspaper today, in which somebody said that her experience was like that of a nurse in the operating room, and that this didn’t give her the experience to hold the scalpel. This really brought home to me the problem with this whole issue: being President isn’t like being a surgeon–you don’t go to President school to learn how to do it. You learn to do it by actually doing it, perhaps with some mildly similar work governing a state. It’s like riding a bicycle…it might help you to watch somebody else riding one, but you don’t really get it until you get up on it yourself. Having a lot of experience on a tricycle might help you a little bit.</p>
<p>unfortunately, Obama has never seen an operating room.</p>
<p>Nevertheless, I’d rather have Obama operate on me than a janitor who has cleaned an operating room hundreds of times. My point is that it’s a silly analogy.</p>
