Barnie, you do know that McCain's son has served a tour in Iraq and a tour in Afganistan right?

Actually, McCain son is fighting in Iraq. One of the few politicians who has a child over in Iraq. Yet, the liberal media doesn't mention this at all.. I wonder why...

Really, I have at add to "the who cares"? Come on CNN, try to stay on track with the issues!
John McCain's life is not good material for a children"s book. Yes, he was a hero and I thank him for that but no, I do not him to be my President.

And just what is she going to teach the kids? OH...may daddy's favorite song is "bomb, bomb, bomb Iran." And my daddy says that getting our troops out of Iraq is "not too important". My daddy also believes that we should be in Iraq for "100 years". My daddy is going to work to get Roe VS. Wade overturned and take away another victory that women have won. MY daddy will also work to get more U.S. jobs outsourced to other countries.

I suppose the two beautiful little Obama girls should write a children's book that's really written by children and not Republican partisans who want to use it to help an old war mongerer continue the Bush legacy.

Remember, people, the same people who run (ruined) the government now will continue business as usual under a McCain administration.

good for her to make money out of it but not good for American people at large. Bacause that's got nothing to do with me whether McCain has some sort of experience but the question is.. Will that be the true and the kind of experiences this country needs? Hope so.. because that's what we getting tired of; the kind of experience which we expect a different result but instead we ended up with the same kind of results in Washington, again and again getting tired of it. We need a different direction. Don't you people understant that?? New ideas, new ways of handling things in Washington. Amen!

This is funny, because all the people who say "Why is this news?" would be saying "That proves that she's a caring, thoughtful lady" if Michelle Obama were to write a children's book. Glad to see that Meghan is doing something positive.

Good for her. Her dad is an American hero and it is great for kids to learn about him.

I don't support him for President. I do respect the man and thank him for his service to this country.

I support Obama fully and completely. That does not mean I can't respect the efforts of Senator McCain's daughter.

On behalf of the Obamites, we think it is great that his daughter is writing a book for children! Looking forward to many more!

how convenient! Great timing! well, I think you can soften the image of the man by writing a children's book about him, and yes, that will show another side of Mccain, but it is the man himself and his behavior that will really count. By the way, all the younger generation and children trying to represent their parents in this election, just to mirror the young and vigorous Obama will not help. The children are not running for president.

I would consider buying the book for my kids as long as it doesn't contain any details about McCain's habit of chasing lobbyist skirts

Sooooooooooooooooo. Does this mean the "old man" loves children? What is the relavence of this story when our young men and women are dying in Iraq?

By: Russell Hammond

Barnie - this falls into that "other ways to serve" category. I imagine writing children's books can be very dangerous, what with dealing with lethal negative reviews and such.

By: Jay

Jay — Wed, 11 Jun 2008 23:16:33 +0000

In response to Barnie- McCain does have a son who is a marine stationed in Iraq presently, and another who attends the US Naval Academy.

MR. AMERICA will point out she doesn't need the money.
If other Americans were rich and did not need to work, this endevor may be appealing to them as well. But we've got our time invested in staying alive lol.

Great, I hope it is out by Christmas so that I can give it to the little ones in my life as a Christmas present, thus they will learn about another American who persevered.

I hope Chelsea writes one about Hillary.
