"I was in a conference in Germany over the weekend and President Putin of Germany gave one of the old Cold War style speeches"

[wolf78]

Who will be the most put out? Merkel or Putin????????? LOL

Actually, the president of Germany is Horst Koehler (Christian Democrats), but as the post is largely ceremonial (much like Queen Elizabeth of the UK or King Juan Carlos of Spain), the real power lies with chancellor Angela Merkel.

This is from last feb.

McCain’s senile and crazy.

Let’s keep him out of the Oval Office and away from our military.

[BARLF]

I knew Merkel was Chancellor but didn’t know name of the president. .;))

[Seaplaner]

Look, McCain's a big, flipping RINO, but this is absolutely nothing.

Everyone reading this has made countless such errors.

It happens

That said....GO MITT!

[rfp1234]

Or Jerry Ford redux.

[ajay_kumar]

I agree but still good for a laugh?

[ajay_kumar]

Nope just confused LOL.
McCain is old!

[ajay_kumar]

No Kidding!

[RatsDawg]

I am sorry, but that is funny.

[ajay_kumar]

Well...I beg to differ. McCain is running for PRESIDENT.
A sharp and crystal clear mind is an asset. McCain looks
older than his age, very poor physical shape. He needs to lose weight and get in shape if he wants to withstand the rigors of the job.

[gathersnomoss]

Old-brain fart.

[ajay_kumar]

And I agree but a little laugh at McCain’s expense never hurt anybody.

Read and learn

And click through and read the end of it. She speaks the truth.

Absolutely no way to McCain

If I have a choice of his being more of a conservative Republican or joining the YMCA fitness program, I’ll take the former. There has never been ANY president (or human being, for that matter) who hasn’t stumbled over a name, a word, etc., when tired. And as I said, I am not a fan of his — but regardless, I don’t think you’re going to find someone who can withstand pressure 24/7 and be of a “crystal clear” mind every moment. It’s not possible. I do believe you are being a wee bit petty. Perhaps you should run?

[dervish]

Anyone can misspeak, but McCain is too old.

[WestSylvanian]

Watch him in the debate on Thursday. He gets mental lapses during which he falls back on phrases he struggles to remember from his campaign stump speech. Usually when this happens he begins with “my friends” and then launches into canned fragments of his speech. He brags that he has a mother who is 95 and is still mentally sharp and physically active. My question is how old was his father when he died and what did he die from? His father contributed to McCain’s genetic makeup too. You’re right, McCain is too old. He’d be 72 when he would be sworn into office. That’s way too old.

[ajay_kumar]

Yes, McCain will be older than Reagan when sworn in. Ronnie had definite signs of Alzeimers in his 2nd term, and yet he was in better physical shape than pudgy McCain.

I think Perot had it right when he called McCain the classic opportunist, seeking attention and prominence where ever he can find it.

[TheLion]

McCain wants the white house more than life itself.

[seekthetruth]

Oh my! McCain made a misstep! Lets see if the MSM talks about it for days like they did whenever President Bush made a misstep. Bet it isn’t mentioned! They want McCain over Romney as our nominee now in order to insure a Hillary win!
