We touched on this subject earlier. Well, here are a few more examples. I think they all are from the past year.

"Off the cuff", or off the teleprompter... it doesn't matter. His mind doesn't seem to be what it once was, and he's become a pretty poor public speaker because of it.

Maybe he can prove me wrong during the debates.

Are you kidding? Obama's debate skills are on par with President Bush. Why do you think he avoided all the debates Hillary asked for? They had only 4 between them, then he chickened out when there were tough questions on the 4th one.

All McCain has to do is keep drinking water and let Romney handle it. Or he could just pick Hillary or Bill for vice president.

Strictly by coincidence I happened to be in the Denver airport in 2000 during a weather delay and who else was stuck there? John McCain. Oozing with charisma and incredibly quick-minded. I was genuinely impressed with him.

The man I see on T.V. now is only a shell of the man I met walking through that airport in 2000. He has definitely lost a lot in the last 8 years.

In 2000 I was a McCain supporter too. However, age plays cruel games on everyone, and McCain's no exception. I think the public will see this is the 3 debates ever happen. Especially if the questions are not canned questions.

McCain certainly is demented, which, by the way, makes him the perfect candidate for the GOP to manipulate from behind the scenes like they did with Bush this whole time.

I was as well... I think this McCain is bitter and definitely mentaly a few steps behind. He flat out looks confused most of the time...

I agree. I find it amusing that some ill-informed people believe BO's wife is bitter, when in fact mccain is the bitter one.

this is one of the comments from the video: "Almost a quarter of folks over the age of 71 are experiencing some level of cognitive impairment or slowdown (that doesnt even include the folks with dementia). McCain is very likely in this category. Do we want someone like that with their finger on the button? "

NO WE DO NOT
