Sen. McCain is a sad man.

If ever there were a man to be pitied, it is the good Sen. John Sidney McCain. Kudos to the two Dr. Briggs. This post could not have been easy but it is information we should know about a perspective President of the United States. We know Sen. Obama wanted to be President of the U.S. since Kindergarten and the legend goes he even was able to write about it. Sort of like George Washington and the Cherry tree. Also, once upon a time Sen. Obama met a man named Richard Ayers.

The Candidates: They're Ambivalent and They Can't Help It. No One Can

Excerpt:
As they grow up, children go through several stages of oppositional behavior. It's part of the process of making adjustments to the changing relationship between parents and child. The growing child needs and feels the pressure to be independent. This is countered by the feeling of dependence on the parental bond. The individual resolves the powerful ambivalence between these two feelings by developing an autonomous self. To an important extent, it seems that McCain remains in the struggle. He is not yet free.

And
"McCain says he felt bad throughout his captivity because he knew he was being treated more leniently than his fellow POWs, owing to his high-ranking father and thus his propaganda value ... McCain expresses guilt at having broken under torture and given the confession. 'I felt faithless and couldn't control my despair ... ' Tellingly, he says he lived in 'dread' that his father would find out about the confession. 'I still wince,' he writes, 'when I recall wondering if my father had heard of my disgrace.'"
As always,
