John McCain came from the U.S. Naval Academy, and also he exemplified a true U.S. hero who was a prisoner of war during the Vietnam War. Remember our true U.S. heroic presidents which were George Washington and Dwight Eisenhower. My belief a good president doesn't necessarily have to come from a military background but if the president does come from a military background it means statistically he is fully committed to his country and is considered a true patriot for his country.

Barack Obama came from a very intriguing background due to the fact he did not come from a privilege family, but is to be considered a man with hope and faith to success. He came from a single-mother family and also lived without his mother for a certain period, and though his father and mother were highly educated people. Barack Obama is highly educated and highly intelligent because of his background of graduating with a Juris Doctor (J.D.) magna cum laude from Harvard in 1991. Obama exemplifies a fine, prominent men.

You write that "if the president does come from a military background it means statistically he is fully committed to his country" Aren't there other equally valid ways of demonstating your commitment to your country. Some would argue that passing up a high salary law firm job to go serve as a community organizer in the slums of Chicago is another eqally valid way of demonstrating a commitment to country.
