WTF? Shouldn't Presidents know how to Walk and Chew Gum at the Same Time?
I mean, isn't being a President about being able to handle a lot of serious issues all at the same time. If this guy can't do a 2 hour debate because he has to deal with the economy, what does that say about him?

2. I totally hope that's how it plays
and there's no reason why it shouldn't unless the media carries his water.

3. EXACTLY! Just WHAT JOB is he auditioning for, anyway?????
Sorry, Grampa -- maybe this is TOO MUCH for a 72-year-old to
handle at once, but A PRESIDENT MUST BE ABLE TO MULTITASK!!!

13. Just what I said in another thread. Multi-tasking is an essential skill
we need in our next President. If McCain can't handle it, he should just quit now.

8. Interesting, Obama campaign may grab ahold of this and attack
it's a sticky situation but they could use it to beat McClown down with it.

12. You're talking about a man
who's wife must obviously dress him, tie his shoes and read the emails on the blackberry device he was the creator of.
