Ok, did anyone see the actual interview? Making a mountain out of a mole hill. He said he was losing his bearings on his ethical wayfinding through the political campaign. Seems to me Sen. McCain is being disingenuous, and seems to be indicating he doth protest too much. I watched the interview and it never, never occured to me it had anything to do with age. It had more to do with what this turn of events corroborates: McCain promises a high road campaign, but has lost his way down that road.

In addition, if it's what we want to discuss, it's important to report McCain's relationship with

"Losing his bearings" refers to the fact that McCain has moved away from his original "maverick" stances and values and embraced Rovian politics. It has nothing to do with his age. McCain wants to skew it and make it about his age so that he can act offended, rather than acknowledge how he's pivoted away from his stances on torture, the Iraq war, campaign finance reform, taxes and right-wing evangelists.

Dear Fellow Americans.

Our Great-grand Nation, the United States of America
is and will face very critical and substantial
"Challenges" in coming,
months, years, and decades.

It is very essential that we pick our next
President on the basis of following criteria.

1. A candidate with a clear "Vision and Mission".

2. A candidate with a sound " Character and Integrity"
.

3. A candidate with a evident "Presidential
Temperament" and " Principled Judgment".

4. A candidate with "little "Washington exposure"
and "real future and past Voters".

5. A candidate who "Inspires us up" rather than
"Tears us down".

6. A candidate not based on past "sexism, racism, and
ageism".

In my professional and personal opinion, the only
candidate who has shown the above qualities and
characteristics is Senator Obama.

As an independent registered voter since 1980. I voted
for Carter, voted for Reagan, voted for First Bush,
and second Bush in 2000 and In over time last
interest in "Washington politics".I stopped voting.
Not a good idea under any circumstance, particularly
at present time.

This time we can not afford to stay on side lines and
let Washington remain the same.We can not afford our
Greatgreat Nation to become less than what we are and
can be.

We need to send clear and candid message to the world
and some 24 hour partisan poisonous hateful media.

These type of media outlets are trying to deprive,
dupe, and derail us from getting it right this time.

I pray and hope that we the American people won't be
part of this deception, seduction, and confusion.

These type of media and pundits are trying there best
to deny us better and replace our past remember some
of
our bitterness and differences. { "Our Greatgrand
Nations people are persistently and constantly
subjected to Psychological terrorism" without our
knowledge by these these poisonous hateful partisan
media outlets".

We Americans are should not and would not to allow
these type of media psychologically terrorized,
traumatized and silence us this time.Not this time.

I am sure that we will get it right this
time and elect Senator Obama our next President. let
us not get dragged down into racism, sexism and
ageism.

Let us remember that our Greatgrand is constituted of
family, friends,fellowships, faith, funds,foundations,
fun, and future with fairness and freedom and without
fear or favor.

We can not afford to lose any of above connections.
Let
us stand up, be counted, save, build our Greatgrand
Nation for decades to come and regain our world
economic, and power status back.

God Bless our Great grand Nation and its diverse
people.

Our Greatgrand nation needs present and future
stability, security, safety,sustained progress and
restoration of our due status in this perilous Global
World at the all levels.

Yours sincerely,

Losing one's bearings has nothing to do with age. Now if Obama had said McCain was having a senior moment, then they may have something. It's my opinion that both are true of McCain. He has lost his bearings and the last few months he's had numerous senior moments. I thnk McCain's camp is taking a play out of Hillary's book, by doing something and then claiming your opponet was guilty.

I think the argument that Obama cannot beat McCain the funniest joke I've ever heard.There are many reasons that all the pundits, media & Hillary Clinton herself are overlooking.For starters, remember back when the primaries took place the democrat registrants doubled & sometimes tripled the GOP's registrants in almost every state.Even if Obama lost half of Hillary's supporters(which consisted some of the Rush Limbaugh effect), Obama would still be challenging for McCain to overcome.Also I seriously doubt by the fall, the numbers that defect would be even close to the numbers now while tensions are so high.Secondly McCain's base support is amonng older white Americans.I think Obama can carry the majority of young/middle age white votes,black vote, & probable even over half the latina vote.Not to mention he will be very competitive with the other minorities such as indians,arabs,& other immigrants because of his peaceful regards to other nations.Age will also play more of an important role once the debates take place.Once you have a stout vibrant Obama at the podium going toe to toe with his GOP rival, it will make McCain look febble, old, & stagnant.A picture can be worth a thousand words.Lastly, we all know John McCain isn't the best on the debating front.Everytime he opens his mouth he seems to says something stupid to eliminate one core group at a time.Prime example, his 100 years of war eliminated the young voters since they are more nuanced in terms of thinking of other countries around the world.Next, McCain is working on killing the women vote invoking judges that threaten Roe vs Wade.Then to top it off he's killing off the working class supporting Nafta.Believe me Obama has been taking notes, & you best believe Obama will be hitting those talking points one after another.Meanwhile John McCain slow on his feet will probably add one gaffe after another to the list.I don't think americans should put all their eggs in the McBush basket.I think Obama will be happy to have this debate with John McCain!

******* IMPORTANT ************

THE TRUTH ABOUT SEN. OBAMA --IN HIS OWN WORDS AS WRITTEN IN HIS BOOKS!!

AMERICA WAKE UP and DECIDE WHO YOU FEEL IS THE BETTER CHOICE TO LEAD OUR COUNTRY !!

Below are a few lines from Obama's books ' in his own words:

Does is appear he wants to unify our country as he has been saying.

Pay close attention to the last statement from his book.

From 'Dreams of My Father': 'I ceased to advertise my mother's race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites.'

From 'Dreams of My Father': 'I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mother's race.'

From 'Dreams of My Father': 'There was something about him that made me wary, a little too sure of himself, maybe. And white.'

From 'Dreams of My Father ': ; 'It remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names.'

From 'Dreams of My Father': 'I never emulate white men and brown men whose fates didn't speak to my own. It was into my father's image, the black man, son of Africa , that I'd packed all the attributes I sought in myself, the attributes of Martin and Malcolm, Dubois and Mandela.'

From 'Audacity of Hope' : 'I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.'

If Obama battled the Clinton slime machine to a standstill in the primary, one could assume that he's ready for the McCain machine this fall.

Let's talk about why you are glad to have the endorsement of a pastor who believes Katrina was God's judgement on homosexuals.

Let's talk about why you are glad to have the endorsement of a pastor who thinks 9/11 was the fault of the "abortionists", the homosexuals, and the ACLU; and that they deserved it.

Let's talk about why you don't want our troops to get an improved GI Bill because you think if we treat them too well, they might not want to fight anymore wars.

Let's talk about why in 2005 you thought a permanent presence in Iraq was bad, but in 2008 you think it is essential.

Let's talk about why Bush's tax cuts offended your conscience in 2003, but in 2008 you think it is essential to make them permanent.

Let's talk about why you think corporations are more deserving of tax cuts than middle class Americans.

Let's talk about why you called your wife a c**t in public.

Let's talk about how you got free rides on corporate jets in exchange for favors.

Let's talk about how you not only want to keep fighting the war in Iraq forever, but you also want to fight a war in Iran, and anywhere else George Bush tells you.

Let's talk about the Keating 5.

Let's talk about the possiblity that you were brainwashed at the Hanoi Hilton and now you want to infiltrate our government and destroy it from the inside.

Senator McCain, that dog won't hunt. Forget what polling might have said about it, we have something called "results" from North Carolina and Indiana that say that nobody really cares about him.

Did you ever consider that Hamas' preference of dealing with Senator Obama might have more to do with you than it does with him? You think "Bomb-Bomb Iran" is funny but did you ever consider that it gives you no credibility?

I suggest you stick with the issues, but that probably won't work well for you or the GOP, will it?

When will McCain wake up and realize that the people of the United States are sick of Repubican attack tactics? Hopefully it is after November when he goes down in flames much like his plane did (he and his lap-dog Lieberman).

McCain:
* Too old
* Too angry
* Too conservative
* Too close to Bush
* Too out of touch
* Too rich
* Too attached to the Republican machine
* Too likely to reward the rich at the expense of the poor and middle-class
* Too far gone.

I took the statement about Senator McCain's bearings as commentary on McCain's willingness to put aside his principles in his pursuit of the presidency. Nothing to do with age, but everything to do with character. As Senator Obama has said before, the Straight talk express has lost some wheels.

As for McCain's statement that what other people say, whether it's Wright or a seemingly positive statement about Obama from Hamas, somehow reflects on Obama, I think that's silly. It serves as evidence that he has, in fact, lost his (moral) bearings.

Ok McCain.

It seems you are saying that just about everything is fair game. Then let's talk about your age and the fact you sought the endorsement of a Minister who calls the Catholic Religion a religion of whores and who blamed Katrina on gays in NO. Let's also talk about that little fling you had with that female representative of a special interest group that owns you as well as your vote on Iraq and your continued support of a conflict that cannot be won. Lets talk about the young American military personel that you want to keep in Iraq so they can get blown away by car bombs. Don't you dare question Obama's patriotism when it is you that is willing to see American mothers and fathers continue to lose their kids in a senseless war. And how about that land deal you pushed through in Arizona for one of your backers who regardless of the environmental costs will be building homes on property worth ten times what he traded for the deal. Your environemtnal history and concerns have sucked and contine to suck. And how about you hugging Bush on the stage after Bush was nominated and after the Bush campaign personally ripped your wife apart in SC with dirty campaign Ads. How about that temper of yours McCain (can't wait for you to lose it in the generasl election campaign or during a debate). How about your desire to maintain the Bush tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans (screw the poor and middle class). How about not having a clue about the economy and the fact that just recently you said the economy was in good shape. How about tossing any principles away that you may have had in the past by siding up to GWB for the last eight years. And how about your support among the likes of Hannity and O'Reilly and Limbaugh who are crazy neo-cons who want to hang anyone from the nearest tree who do not wear a US Flag lapel pins. Shall we go on McCain? We are just getting started.

Obama was not talking about McCain's age but rather his pandering to the conservative base and the loss of his maverick status. Obama was talking about the fact that McCain has basically flip flopped on every issue he has ever advocated. Obama does not need to go after his age. Policy arguments give him enough to work with

Obama, you would wish Hilary had given you much tougher punches to train you for the big one's coming right up from the Repubs.

Imagine sitting next to a war veteran and POW and talk about bravery and war, etc...

You are lucky he is old, chances are he would still lose the elections because of that. But one thing I do admire about him is he at least offers solutions, could actually take a stand - even if it's not popular. Repubs hate him for not being far right. So who knows, maybe he can still throw a punch and knock you out.

No McCain — Fri, 09 May 2008 18:11:57 GMT

McCain would'nt know what was of interest to the American people, if we shouted it into his hearing aide 24/7.

He does'nt have the capacity to listen. I have never seen him, not even in a photo op, listening to what the people, or anyone else, has to say.

Even when he's on the talk shows, he can't wait to interrupt, and blurt out, some tick like response.

I wonder if there is a wireless communicator implanted in McCain's head so Lieberman can tell him what to say.

LIEBERMAN IS TRAITOR!!! HOW IS THE MAN IS STILL A MEBER OF DEMOCRATIC CAUCAS IS A MYSTERY FOR ME. DEMOCRATS SHALL EXPELL HIM FROM THEIR CAUCAS, EVEN IF IT COST THEM SENATE MAJORITY. THIS MAJORITY IS MEANINGLESS ANYWAY WITH BUSH IN WH AND 49 REPUBLICAN SENATORS WHO DOES NOT AND WILL NOT SEEL ANY COMPROMISE. IN NEW CONRGESS, WITH EXPANDED MAJORITY DEMOCRATS, SHALL NOT GIVE LIEBERMAN ANY POST AND SHALL NOT ACCEPT HIM IN THEIR CAUCAS.

Sure McCain's bearings are all there Joe...as long as you're holding his hand and reminding him where he is, what to say, and correcting him when he tells the world that Al Quida is present in Iran. Idiot.

I guess John and Cindy need to have a meeting. Yesterday she's saying on t.v. that her husband's campaign won't go negative.

Today, he's making her look like a fool with the spectre of Wright and Hamas.

Obama's remark was not an ageist remark. It had to do with the fact that McCain has tried to stake his course as a moderate republican with a maverick streak. So if that's his course, then his recent sharp right turn means he's off course - and a common saying when that happens is "you've lost your bearing"

Duh.

For discussion of Hamas, just check out how John Stewart got McCain to cancel out his own Hamas argument and fear mongering:

Flip Flop McCain just can't avoid showing he's suffering from Alzheimer's Disease. One day he whines about Obama making derisive comments about his age by implying that he has "lost his bearings" when it's obvious to anyone with a brain that Obama meant he has lost his way of straight honest talking. Now a day later McCain says it's okay for Obama to make remarks on his age. Time to send Alzheimer McCain into political retirement, where all Reagan foot soldiers belong!

Loosing his bearings has everything to do with McCain being above the garbage and remembering the fact that McCain claims he's not going to do what Bush did to him in 2000. He might've fell short after the Hamas comment... http://www.enewsreference.wordpress.com

As soon as the Dems wrap things up, then the focus can be shifted to McCain and his lack of good options for Americans.

Foreign policy gaffes, the wrong strategy regarding Iraq, economic ignorance and staunch conservative justice appointments will lead to a rather comfortable Democratic victory in the fall.

If Democrat women, rural folks or people making less than 50k vote Republican they're, basically, cutting off their head to cure their headache!

More war, lousy economic policy, goodbye Roe v. Wade, continued two-tier health system and no plan to addess the social security shortfall. Great. Where do I sign up for some of that? Hahahaha.

This is why Obama has no chance of beating McCain. Seriously, how many of those states like Kansas, Idaho, S. Dakota, etc., do you think he'll win?....answer..0....How many southern states? answer.....0, including Florida. And does anybody think he'll take Pennsylvania, Ohio, or Michigan?

The superdelegates need to get serious and select Clinton at the top of the ticket so we can take back the white house.

Geez, McCain is so transparent. Attack Obama before he can pivot from his primary challenges. That's ok, though, Obama's ready. Seeing his wife swearing that there would be no "dirty" tactics from the McCain campaign, was laughable. He's been on the attack for some time. Go ahead, McCain, recycle old news. Trashing Obama backfires. Just makes you look as pathetic as Hillary. Go ahead, cheapen the campaign. Tarnish those medals that stand for honor.

What a cranky old huntchback jerk. What has age got to do with Rev. Wright?

If Rv. Wright is an issue, Pastors Hagee and Parsley should an issue.

Stupid old man.

There was NOTHING about age in his comment! A "bearing" is a heading or a direction. He said McCain is losing his way, and he was specifically referring to the fact that he seems to have abandoned his pledge to run a clean campaign.

You people are thinking of "losing your marbles", which means something else entirely.

And you people in the media KNOW what that means, but you are shamelessly trying to foment controversy whenever you can. Just like that stupid story about Obama giving Hillary the finger when he was just scratching his face.

Morons.

Age is on the table. Not so much as in years, but more so in state of mind.McWar is sooooooooooo old school. We need forward thinking to solve the problems facing our society. Obama is the canidate who can lead us into the future.

Well having Traitor Joe say he checked Alzheimer McCain's bearings and he hasn't lost any is typical of his traitorous suck up to the repugnant ones. Lieberman is the one who has lost his bearings and is an unreliable source to verify McCain's honesty and integrity, which have also been lost. Just why we need to send Alzheimer McCain into political retirement, where all Reagan foot soldiers belong!

Go Obama 08/12!

POLL OF FOREIGN LEADERS AND/OR THEIR AMBASSADORS/EMISSARIES MUST ALSO BE FAIR GAME THEN, RIGHT?

So please just ask Sen. McCain if it is okay to cite support of a controversial government figure (HAMAS is the elected govt of the PA), then is it not fair and balanced to discuss other foreign governments that speak favorably of Sen. Obama)?

I dare say that McCain won't want to compare the list of traditional US allies, Australia and France notwithstanding, that are extremely excited about the prospect of a DEM and/or Obama administration.

So please don't let McCain get away with just selective citation of foreign excitement about Obama.
