Rachel Maddow's Last Word: Elect Based On Competence!

Rachel Maddow compared and contrasted President Bush's, John McCain's, and Barack Obama's statements on September 11th on her show Thursday night, using them as a reminder of what Americans should be looking for as we head into the homestretch of the presidential election: competence.
Her remarks:
As we turn our attention back to the Presidential campaign, to the choice we will make in November, let September 11, 2008 remind us of what we require from our leaders and from our government: competence. Our choice isn't about language or personality or how well we relate to a politician. This day reminds us that our choice in November is about the competence of the government we will elect.
