The MSM continues to harp about McCain being 72 years of age. His mother is over 90, so there are excellent genetics there.
And what about Obama's continued chain-smoking ways?
I have heard that smoking is very bad for one's heart, especaiily chain-smoking.
People have smoked for only a few years and have had heart attacks...
Krauthammer mentioned that McCain’s decision reflected poorly on his age per Obama’s remarks that a President should be able to handle a debate as well as the economic crisis. The MSM have a very ripe target it appears.
I don’t want the next President to be absent from this decision making process. The Great Debate can Wait.
Is MSM a 527 group? Shouldn’t the FEC be investigating them?
No, Obama needs to learn how to prioritize things.
This isn't like there are 2 major crisis going on. We have the financial meltdown (major) and a debate (minor, very minor).
A debate. A debate can be rescheduled.
Obama had 10 chances to debate McCain in town hall meetings. Obama blew it by not debating then.
Obama doesn't give a **** about the financial meltdown. If he did his skinny ### would be in Washington D.C.
You see, Obama is all talk and no action when it comes to changing things. He isn't going to Wash. D.C. to work with McCain because he's used to doing things like voting “present.”
So what.....
Argue real points....not if the guy may die of cancer or a heart attack because he smokes....
In fact, I would buy him a pack.....
I don’t know about that, but the MSM is trying its best to keep a tight lid on Obama’s continued chain-smoking ways. Not too tight, though, evidently. Obama is still a chain-smoker.


He picked the wrong week to give up smoking crack in a limo.
If the MSM is going to harp on McCain’s age, then they must also harp on Obama being a chain-smoker and how bad that is for his health - and his heart.
We must do our part to try and make them talk about it.
At least it can be talked about on the net.
BTW, the danmage done by cigarettes to one’s health and herat (Obama’s) IS REAL.
Could you please rephrase this sentence: “Krauthammer mentioned that McCains decision reflected poorly on his age per Obamas remarks that a President should be able to handle a debate as well as the economic crisis. The MSM have a very ripe target it appears.”(?)
I don’t know what it is saying.
I can attest to the fact that smoking mixed with a modicum of stress will cause a heart attack.
Just how healthy is Obama, him being a chain-smoker and all?
Oh pleazzze.....
Pleazze?
Please stop defending Obama and diverting away from what should be talked about - him smoking and all.
Notice how the MSM never talks about Pelosi and Biden’s age? Aren’t they within 4 or 5 years of McCain’s age?
And they actually show symptoms of stuttering, slow wit, memory problems, ignorance of history and science (”FDR on TV in 1929”...”Natural gas is an ‘alternative fuel’”)
What about Senator Byrd and other Democrats that aren’t young bucks? When you need a hoot watch him on C-SPAN.
Just a thought
You're kidding, right?
