I'm glad you heard it because it absolutely amazes me how many YA mention that he didn't. I think he is different from Bush because of his past. I think Bush became president for personal reasons but McCain wants to be president because he believes he can change things. McCain specifically said that he doesn't work for either party but for the people. He truly loves this country and does what he does out of love. Not for recognition, not for money, but for love. I also think he would be less likely to be pushed around or bullied into any decision. His character outshines any politician out there. How many people would turn down the chance to be removed from torture and a prison camp because of principle? And then after spending 5 years being tortured and imprisoned to come back and to actually give more to your country is a true sign of strong character.
