Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama said he thinks his judgment would make him a better commander in chief than Republican rival Sen. John McCain, despite that McCain has more years of service in Washington and in the military.
In a Wednesday interview with Military Times on a wide range of defense and national security issues, the 46-year-old Obama, a freshman U.S. senator from Illinois, said he might not have McCain’s military experience or years in the Senate but “I believe that I have a better grasp of where we need to take the country, and how we should use the power of, again, not just our military, but all of our power in order to achieve American security.”
The interview will appear in issues of Army Times, Navy Times, Air Force Times and Marine Corps Times on newsstands Monday morning. Video from the interview and a transcript also will be on the Military Times Web sites Monday morning.
