Comments on: McCain camp accuses Obama of making age an issue http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/05/08/mccain-camp-accuses-obama-of-making-age-an-issue/ All politics, all the time Mon, 21 Dec 2009 22:07:36 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: Michael Gregory, South Hadley, MA http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/05/08/mccain-camp-accuses-obama-of-making-age-an-issue/#comment-1051987 Michael Gregory, South Hadley, MA Fri, 09 May 2008 02:21:48 +0000 http://cnnpoliticalticker.wordpress.com/?p=7013#comment-1051987 Be prepared for all sorts of crazy and bizarre insinuations as we go forward with the election process. John McCain IS an old man by anyone's standards. This is not an opinion or a slight this is a fact. Another fact, George Bush and company will when they leave office leave America in the worst condition that it has ever been in history. Our world is falling down around us, we do not need politics as usual, we need drastic, meaningful, focused and peaceful change. McCain is but another (older) George Bush, we definitely DO NOT need another non-leader like George Bush! We do not need more war. The time is now, it is long overdue, we must embrace new directions and solutions, otherwise it's just more of the past eight years. America and the world needs a new approach if we are going to right ourselves. It is important that we elect Barack Obama, not just because he is a young man, but because he is a young, creative, unique and fertile thinker. Let's not settle for less.

He's unproven in character, he's easily influenced by flamboyant, radical mentors such as Tony Rezko, Jeremiah Wright, Jesse Jackson, Wm. Ayers. Speaking of William Ayers, Obama won't answer questions about this person who bombed the Pentagon. Why won't Obama answer the Ayers questions?

Obama claimed a higher level of politics in his campaign with Hillary and his words and actions - and those of his surrogates - proved otherwise. I'll continue to support Hillary until Obama is officially the nominee. At that point, I will be voting for McCain. Obama is a hypocrite. More importantly, he is simply not ready to be president and certainly not prepared to be commander in chief. McCain's camp is exactly right.

In the case of McCain, the vice presidential nominee will be far more important than McCain himself. Studio makeup can only hide so much.

Senator McCain age is not important, it shouldn't be. Don't let that get you down. Our greatest presidents were old. OHsssh, sorry. But Obama also has to defend his integrity and his persona. Enough with the attacks. Oh, I see so is OK for others to step over you and you have not right to defend yourself at least with 'words'. Senator McCain age is not important, it shouldn't be.
