Obama Surrogate Attacks McCain for Age, Cancer

"to one of the oldest presidents we've ever had that has never met a world leader."

But McCain has met many world leaders.

McCaskill obviously did not ace grammar.

Democrats have a message:

- Being older mean being useless
- Experiencing cancer means you're gone and not to considered for anything important. Go home and die.
- Women cannot have it all.

Women with a cancer history must really be worthless.

McCain hammers Obama on issues but all Obama can muster is physical derision.

Pathetic.

The talk about Obama smoking is cute and all, but the fact is Obama will outlive McCain by decades barring an accidental death.

McCain's health is absolutely an issue, especially after he picked Sarah Palin as his running mate. There is a significant chance John McCain won't live out his term.

If you don't believe it, see which one could get life insurance and which one couldn't. Life insurance companies don't make political decisions. They make decisions based on statistical evidence and that evidence in not good in John McCain's case.

McCaskill's comments are appalling. Apparently she was not satisfied with turning off older voters, she had to make sure to repel cancer survivors as well.

In a republican primary debate, John Mcain said of Romney, and this is not an exact quote, I have not been a mayor for a short period of time, I have not been a governor for a short period of time, I have not managed for profit, I have led for patriotism. In otherwords, Romney did not have the experience to become president. Since it appears, these are exactly Palins qualifications, how does McCain rationalize picking her to be a heartbeat away from the presidency if he wins?
Also Palin has claimed as has McCain that Alaska produces 20% of American Energy, which is false according to factcheck.org. Since McCain toutes energy as her major qualifiction for foreign policy, should't she know? What does it say about her as a person who has worked on the energy boards, and been mayor that she doesn't know something as basic as that? SCARY!!!!

Age is a legitimate issue. That is why we had term limits put in.

I think it is entirely fair to ask whether McCain is likely to be able to perform as President. If he dies or is disabled before his 76th birthday we are going to be stuck with the moose hunting mama from Alaska who has never met a world leader and who lies about her record left and right!

Once again Claire McCaskill sticks her foot in her big mouth. I can't believe she was actually mentioned as a possible VP. Talk about an idiot with no experience. She jumped on the Obama bandwagon early-with him looking to carry Missouri. It's not working. McCaskill couldn't manage her own nursing homes.(for real) and now she couldn't carry Sarah Palin's suitcase. I bet she doesn't even get re-elected. Women dumped her when she campaigned against Hillary Clinton.

Governor Palin has eight years of executive experience, OBAMA HAS NONE. Palin has supervised people and departments, submitted budgets, created policies and governed people. OBAMA HAS NOT. What foreign policy experience does Obama have other than his premature "victory" tour in Europe this summer (when he refused to meet with injured troops because he couldn't bring his campain staff)? Palin is far more qualified to be NUMBER 2 than Obama is to be the NUMBER 1 leader of the free world.

I'm becoming more and more convinced that Barack Obama is too immature for the Presidency. When the campaign was going his way, he was "Mr. Cool and Collected". Now, since the polls have indicated that his support is slipping, he has begun to act like a spoiled child, offending everyone but his dumb but still-loyal, starstruck supporters.
It's apparent that the voters are beginning to wise up to what a fraud he is. Thanks, but I prefer experience, a proven record, and maturity (even though McCain is 72 and has had skin cancer), as opposed to an inexperienced, egotistical, and offensive candidate, such as Obama.

McCain doesn't work weekends. Ask the reporters. I wouldn't his attendance at the Nascar race today working.

Besides, he has handed over his entire campaign to Rovian wannabes. He just says what they tell him to. They've even limited his time on his cell phone so he doesn't go off message.

He also hasn't given a press conference in over a month and it's been 3 weeks since his last town hall meeting.

And his age is a factor. I wouldn't be so worried had he picked a more qualified VP.

While you are at it - let's see Joe Biden's medical records.

aneurysm
possibly drinking
blood pressure

My wonder what we have there??????????

I'm voting for Obama, I live in Missouri and have voted for McCaskill, and I agree with many of the comments here: it's not fair to single McCain out when discussing whether we're comfortable with his choice.

So let's rephrase the discussion:

Things happen. Am I confident that Joe Biden could quickly step into the role of President if something were to happen to Obama?

Yes, I feel very confident of Biden's abilities. I have examined his voting record for his many years in office. I've followed his career for years. I know what experience he has had with foreign leaders, and know, reasonably well, how he would decide on international issues. I also know reasonably well his stand on national and social issues.

In other words, I know exactly what I'm getting if he were to suddenly have to fulfill the duties of president. He is not unknown quantity, a cypher who I have to accept purely on faith.

Republicans? Your turn.

You can be fine for 10, 20, 30 even fifty years after a melanoma removal, and then have seizures one day, and find it to be caused by a metastatic melanoma to the brain.
It could go to your liver, and destroy it, leading to death.
It goes to the lungs.
It is virtually ubiquitous, and when it does strike, its is deadly, and extremely resistant to effective treatment.

How low can you go! I hope this back-fires on the Dems - shame on them! Claire McCaskill is a mean spirited woman - hope they vote her out in Missoura. Wasn't she the one who was encouraging no-green card holders to vote for her the last time? If it wasn't her it was another Dem! Such integrity - no wonder she loves BHO - two peas in a pod!

I want to see Obama's medical records! What is he hiding?

National polls are meaningless. What's important is how swing voters will vote in a few key swing states.

In one week the Obama campaign and its surrogates have managed to offend women, evangelicals, senior citizens, melanoma survivors, computer-phobes, hunters, small town mayors, veterans, POW's and their families, active service members and their families (Sunni awakening) and families with disabled children.

The McCain camp has managed to offend community organizers, the NEA, Chicago politicians, Bill Ayers and the MSM. Did I leave anyone off of this list?

Which side do you think is driving away more swing voters?

Well, once again, the Obamanuts show their ignorance. Biden's had two aneurysms, but that's ok. Obama was a coke snorter and weed smoker...but that's ok. McCain had skin cancer cells removed..just like millions of Americans that live for decades afterwards, and that's NOT ok. See the hypocrisy there? If now, you're blinded by liberal hate. Sucks to be you, don't it?

Do you think Barry showed Claire his medical records? Barry felt that one paragraph was all the rest of us needed to see. What is Barry hiding in those records? I think we should all start asking to see more information from the past 15 to 20 years, don't you? McCain realesed tons of records he has nothing to hide. Yes I think we should make an issue about past and present health.

I agree we should not elect anyone who is not ready on day 1 to be president. So lets not vote for an inexperienced knucklehead like Barack Obama. I don't think giving a speech in Germany qualifies him as having foreign policy experience. Besides, Obama thinks world leaders are going to fawn over his greatness like the New York Times and college campus cook aid drinkers. Not gonna happen.
