Wow, the old boy's not looking too well these days without his make up artist and hair stylist.

1. Sen. McCain has a cold. |

I think. He needs to go to bed after eating some clear broth. Sorry. I couldn't help myself. Once a mother...

2. Mcain, "Blah, blah, blah, blah." Obama, "Thank you for you concern, we've already done something |

about that."
McCain is even out of touch on his favorite issues.

The cameras didn't stay on him, but I did note that his head was dipping while he sat next to LIEberman.

Conspiracy theorists love to make a point of Rumsfeld's presser on Sept 10 2001 about $1.2 Trillion of stuff missing from the DoD as a sign of something else or burying it. Rummy was right about that, it needs to be fixed. As of 2002 there were 1,400 different accounting systems being used in the DoD procurement, budgeting, and costing administrations. 1,400 accounting systems. Most of those were small buys by Congressmen for constituents and paying clients (wink) so they can use that in their marketing but 1,400 is ridiculous. I have an accounting degree and have worked in a variety of jobs and I had no idea that there even WERE 1,400 different systems in existence.
On EDIT amongst the things missing -we are pretty sure we have them somewhere we just don't know where- were: a Naval salvage vessel tanks (TANKS) lots of vehicles etc.

John McCain forgot he is dealing with Columbia and Harvard trained lawyer - he's just a simple Navy fighter - instead he looks petty silly - We no longer have a president who just grunts.

He really has a great wit.
"Of course, I've never had a helicopter before." That's a great line, and no way it could have been scripted.

12. He wasn't trying to attack McCain |

He is on the same side of the argument as McCain. They are both against this abuse.

11. lmao did you see the look of shame in mccain's eyes |
|
when Obama said he is one of the people who has been "sincere" about the issues? Then mccain proceeds into some disingenuous bullshit!
