Watch McCain's comments Tuesday.

(CNN) – John McCain issued a promise Tuesday that may cause a bit of unrest with a broad swath of voters:

He'll veto every single beer?

In a slip of the tongue while railing against excessive earmarks at the National Small Business Summit in Washington, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee inadvertently pledged to veto the popular alcoholic beverage.

Watch McCain's slip of the tongue

"I will use the veto as needed. I will veto every single beer — bill with earmarks," he said, as rumblings from the crowd could be heard. "And every single bill that we have come across my desk I will make them famous. I will veto them, you will know their names."

It's not entirely surprising McCain has beer on the brain: his wife, Cindy, is heiress to her father's Arizona beer distribution company, Hensley and Company, one of the largest distributors in the U.S., for which she now serves as chairman.

Oh it was just a slip. I don't support the guy (not in the very least), but they all make their slip-ups.

Obama + VP of his choice '08

Danny, Democrat from AZ   June 10th, 2008 11:49 am ET

Wow.. he is too lame on other issues that he needs to talk about how he will veto every bill Democrats propose to improve our country. What a tool.

bob in L.A.   June 10th, 2008 11:49 am ET

When this general election season is over, poor John will be back in the Senate. Age is a factor for President because the job is grueling. Like him or not, a very healthy GWB has aged considerable in 7 1/2 years and its not going to be easier for the next person!
These types of errors are just the beginning of what the stress of the office will bring.

Miz Understood   June 10th, 2008 11:49 am ET

"Veto Every Beer"….. WHAT??(Runs and gets her purse and rides bike to the store to stock up on beer, because lord knows gas is too high)!!!

OMG.. the demetia, the old man already doesnt know what he's saying..lord help us all, beer is all I have left. Take my beer u take my soul…lol

Tim   June 10th, 2008 11:48 am ET

Hey CNN - Please focus on the issues! This has been your major flaw as a "news source" throughout this primary season. Funny semantical slips by politicians are not news-worthy. The issue here, which you so often choose to ignore, is that McCain has vowed to veto all bills with special earmarks. From your article I don't even know what impact this may have! Your shameless love for Barack Obama ended Clinton's campaign and has hindered your ability to perform your job… which, in case you've forgotten, is to report NEWS. Stick to facts and let people think for themselves for once - this country may be better off for it.

Slected not Elected   June 10th, 2008 11:48 am ET

Yes, only a fool would negotiate with terrorists! Negotiations with terrorists is exactly what one should never do, as it only bequests more terrorism - fool! Terrorists and terrorism supporting countries and leaders who support terrorism are no more than cowardess, murderous, uncivilized, scum thugs - Satan's little warlocks I presume you would just as soon negotiate with Satan as well? A vote for Obama just shows one's stupidity and how easily they can be duped by a socialistic Marxist farce, and one who "changes" his stance and views hour by hour and day by day with his eloquent but hypocritical and inexperienced "words", "just words", "just speeches" of "change" to Marxism"! All it takes is the ignoramous fools of the demo party to be foolish enough to vote for a candidate like Obama

O LORD, THIS MAN IS SHARP AS A TACK,

THAT'S BEEN SITTING AROUND FOR A

COUPLE HUNDRED YEARS.

ginger   June 10th, 2008 11:48 am ET

Yep that's funny. He made a slip of the tongue. Everybody just have a good laugh.

As for the Obama 57 state slip of the tongue. Of course Sen. Obama knows how many states there are. I'll tell you what, you run for President and I'll sit back and watch how slip ups you make.

How much did you pay for gas this week?

Eddy Perez   June 10th, 2008 11:47 am ET

I am 300 % against Republican for the way they have trash our economy in wars that started with lies and they are to blame for the oil prices around the world. But one thing I got to say………Mr. McCain did not mean that, I mean if he tries to do anything over our way of life (Beers), he will not even get 100 votes………..but it was funny, reminds me of G.W. Bush when he first started, I mean Bush was trash Speaking in English…….

Gook Luck Mr. McCain, but you will loose to Obama…………

Mr. Perez in this end……..comments (fenixcargosa@yahoo.com)

If you want to elect a President choose Obama!

THIS GREAT OLD MAN IS HAVING MEMORY LAPSES. SO SOMETIMES HE DOES NOT KNOW WHAT HE IS SPEAKING. WE SHOULD UNDERSTAND THAT. BUT THIS WILL BE VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM IF HE BECOMES PRESIDENT.

James   June 10th, 2008 11:47 am ET

This is better than his last slip-up; confusing Iraq and Iran and Al Qaida. Do we really want to vote for somebody who could take us to war because they had a senior moment? Scary…

Did you hear the audience in the background, even they got a laugh out of it? This is starting to be not so funny. Its almost a little scary that this man we be answering the phone at 3:00 a.m. in the morning.
Ha, ha, ha, I just made you think

Bill, Richmond, VA   June 10th, 2008 11:46 am ET

Look folks, let's all take a nice deep breath. It was a slip of the tongue, nothing more, nothing less. I'm voting for Obama in the fall, however, John McCain should be respected by everyone for the service he has rendered this country in the military and in the United States Senate.

I look forward to these two candidates having an open and civil debate on the issues facing our country. I think that there are stark differences in policy between the two. Nevertheless, the differences, we need to give both Senator Obama and Senator McCain respect rather than snide and hostile commentary.

LIZ   June 10th, 2008 11:45 am ET

McCain may slip up on his words but at least he has a real plan for America….What does Obama have? Nothing if he doesn't get Hillary as his VP. As long as he has her, we will be OK!!
period.

Concerned Citizen   June 10th, 2008 11:44 am ET

To add to McCain's bit on the "death tax" when I actually have the problem of making over $250,000.00 a year, I may become a Republican!

Until then, no freaking way. I personally want your wife's estate taxed, McWar.

Shelly in IL   June 10th, 2008 11:44 am ET

God help us all if Obama Winfrey gets elected.
Obama has no plans, just flames.

TM   June 10th, 2008 11:43 am ET

That's nothing compared to his downright nasty joke making fun of Hillary and Chelsea Clinton.

The joke appeared in McCain's hometown paper, the Arizona Republic, this is what he reportedly said:
"Why is Chelsea Clinton so ugly?
Because her father is Janet Reno."

As a Clinton supporter and woman I urge my friends to remember this man does not like you or Hillary - despite his nice words to the public.

john williams san diego, ca.   June 10th, 2008 11:43 am ET

and obama challenged him by asking 'in all 57 states?'

Adam Schneider   June 10th, 2008 11:43 am ET

Maybe he just had a long day and had beer on his mind. hah

Concerned Citizen   June 10th, 2008 11:43 am ET

McCain vowed to keep the estate tax low, referring to it as "one of the most unfair tax laws on the books."

well, when you fleece the American public as a CEO of a company that reneges on pensions, healthcare, wages, safety (the list is long) and yet you make 100M, 200M per year… of course you wouldn't want that to get taxed before your children get it…

But that money came from the sweat of the little guy, and frankly… it ought to be taxed and returned to them.

doc4nuts   June 10th, 2008 11:42 am ET

Cindy will not be giving him beer or anything else. The old girl opened a free cold one from daddy's brewery when she heard that!

NickNas   June 10th, 2008 11:42 am ET

OK so to all of you people who have not learned your lessons from BUSH! We the people of the U.S. are NOT going to listen to you AGAIN!! When Bush was running for Office and was a Ignorant boob YOU MADE EXCUSES FOR HIM THEN TOO! Remember he didn't even know where the U.K. Was?? Couldn't even name 2 world LEADERS?? YOU PEOPLE MADE EXCUSES FOR HIM!!!

We the people of the U.S. who's IQ is OVER 80 will NOT be fooled by you again!!!

That is all.

Stephen   June 10th, 2008 11:42 am ET

while the article is questionable as news… it is somewhat interesting just how many of these little slips of the tongue McCain makes. He's obviously a well seasoned public servant/speaker. He's been through more personal trials in his time as a POW than most Americans will ever experience… but the simple fact is that he is fairly old. And with the natural progression of age comes diminished capacity. Where is the line between a simple goof… and simple proof. That McCain is actually exhibiting signs of senile behavior.

Kiki8106   June 10th, 2008 11:42 am ET

The nonsense I read on here is crazy……
The only person in the voting booth is you….so vote as you may. Please people donot response to this nonsense, if they are going to vote for McSame then let them. Just do you….You are the only person that have to deal with decision you make in the years to come.

You can't teach an old racist dog new tricks!!!!
For all of you that say they will never vote for Obama. When Obama and Clinton are almost the same on policy for our country.

McCain 08   June 10th, 2008 11:42 am ET

The first one he will veto is Obama.

Staunch Clinton Supporter   June 10th, 2008 11:42 am ET

Wow! Pretty slow news day when people have to jump on a slip of the tongue.

He will still win the presidency because he will make a better commander in chief.

McCain 2009 Republican Leader

I swear the comments on here are so immature!! This can't be for real America!?!?!

He made a mistake. get over it!!

Didn't Michelle Obama made a mistake with her words?

Didn't clinton make a mistake with her words as well?

And we all know Obama has….

I am supporting obama/Clinton for the white house!!

Buckeye12   June 10th, 2008 11:41 am ET

I DON'T LIKE/TRUST EITHER OF THESE CANDIDATES!!! McCain doesn't bring any thing new to the table, and anyone who trusts Obama is crazy. No one knows anything about him, and his answer to everything is tax.

E. Elliott, Orlando, FL   June 10th, 2008 11:40 am ET

A minor slip of the tongue. I am worried about what he says accurately. It was a cute, but juvinile sound bite. Beat his chest and shout veto. If he does that the government will be shut down during the figting over replacement bills. or he will be over ridden. How does this trired old man expect to pay for social security? He does not. How about medicare or medicare? Same thing as Bush. Try to destroy the system to keep from chanrging the rich people that he sold out too any extra money to help the rest of us. Those pigs have been at the GOP trough for 8 years. They will not move out unless their is a pig roast.

rw in ct   June 10th, 2008 11:40 am ET

This is nothing compared with Obama (despite his Harvard degree) saying: "let's see, we've been to 57 states and have two more to go."

hmmmm, what kind of moment was that….plenty of those on youtube.

country before party….vote McCain.

Ben   June 10th, 2008 11:40 am ET

It is not that complicated. On the War: anyone who voted for this unneccessary waste of blood and treasure does not deserve to be president. On the economy: if rising gas prices are a result of supply and demand, then increasing supply and reducing demand would be the best long term answer. In the short term however, something must be done to help people who are struggling to cope,

Were we not spending billions a month on a fruitless endeavor in Iraq perhaps we would have enough money to invest in the technologies neccessary to develop the alternatives that would help us to drop our addition to foriegn oil.

Somebody ought to make this argument to the people. Mccain can not, but Obama can and should!

Alex   June 10th, 2008 11:39 am ET

A slip of the tongue. Gee none of us have done that. Better that than a slip of 20 years with the wrong pastor. Gee, none of us have done that either!!!

Nobama!! No liar!! No hypocrite!!

Another election tank thanks to the DNC and its appointed superdelegates! Reep what you sow, losers!

Jim in Atlanta   June 10th, 2008 11:39 am ET

Here we go CNN. McCain watch out - every little misspoken word is going to get headlines in the media. The media's goal is to try to portray you as a senile old man who is confused and disoriented. This is a tactic the media will use from not till November. Expect a lot more of these frivolous stories to emerge. Obama's number one weapon will be the media on his side. It worked for him in the primary, so why not the general election too. It’s really disappointing to see the media taking sides in these elections.

Still for Hill in 12′

Generation X   June 10th, 2008 11:39 am ET

So what if he is President and he has a meeting with an important foreign leader and he stubbles? He is NOT Presidential.

Glen   June 10th, 2008 11:39 am ET

If it was Mexican beer he could veto it with two x's.

a shame that this is so played up in the media along with Hillarys
trip to bosnia and yet Mr God of the World Obama can mention 57states and never even get criticized!! Wow what a bunch of iodiots we have reporting the news…

—————————————————————————————

It is easy to see how somebody who is tired and/or has a lot on his or her mind can make a simple, everyday slip of the tongue that anybody could make, such as "57″ instead of "47″ or "beer" instead of "bill."

I'm sorry, but it is not easy to see how such tiredness or stress can introduce false memories into your mind, such as the memory of literally being under gunfire and having to run for cover, when video shows you walking around like it's a Sunday morning picnic. People in the military have taken that as an insult because they felt like she was insinuating that they did not do a good enough job of protecting the first lady. And she tried to take the entire American public for fools - believe me, an American first lady under sniper fire in a foreign country would have been huge, earth-shattering news at the time. We would not have had to wait another decade for her to run for president before we finally hear about it.

Beverly, NYC   June 10th, 2008 11:38 am ET

GrandPa McCain is 71 years old. It is not his fault. Things like that happen with age.

Is he too old to be president? No
He is just too old to govern.

John   June 10th, 2008 11:38 am ET

And so it begins…, the republican (and I use the term LOOSELY) being dogged for every slip of the tounge. Meanwhile, Obama slides by unscathed with comments like "the 57 states of america"! Let's just see how long this follows McCain in contrast to Obama's slip. Can you say media bias?

Muratha   June 10th, 2008 11:38 am ET

Since The best choice have gone ( Hillary) McCain and Obama are the same but i prefer McCain than Obama because he seem like proud of American than Obama and his wife.

Fitz   June 10th, 2008 11:35 am ET

To those of you asking why CNN is reporting this and didn't report on the 57 state error by Obama. The answer is:

1) They did and you were asleep
2) They did and you were in the shower
3) They did and you're DSL was out that week
3) They did and you know it, that's why you're writing about it because you weren't there when he did it.

beyond politics   June 10th, 2008 11:35 am ET

I see people are saying Barack said there are 57 states. He said there were "57 contests" and there WERE. 2 in Texas plus D.C., Puerto Rico, U.S.V.I, Guam, and ex-pats.
And you guys get all offended when people point out that Barack's supporters are more educated . . . We listened in school, so we are accostomed to listening to what people say. Its amazing! Barack did not, in any way, say there are 57 states.

S.B.   June 10th, 2008 11:35 am ET

Maybe subconciously he was REALLY , REALLY needing a beer about then…that brings up another concern..wonder if he drinks a lot more than we know…hmmmmm?

Obama Mama   June 10th, 2008 11:35 am ET

Firstly, anyone who thinks that Obama thinks there are 57 states shouldn't be allowed to post. Some people are just stupid if they can't figure out that he meant 57 contests.

Secondly, these guys are being recorded every time they speak. They are going to make mistakes. But I like the person who said, "He just lost the blue collar vote." THAT was funny.

Thirdly, CNN- Why is Yahoo a better political news source right now than you are? Find some real news already.

Brian   June 10th, 2008 11:34 am ET

Vetoing bills with earmarks will not save ANY money, and quite possibly could gridlock the government. Earmarks simply stipulate how an agency should spend money that it already has. Once again, a snake oil salesman mischaracterizes his policies to win your vote.

Jan, Knoxville, TN   June 10th, 2008 11:34 am ET

America, is this who you want for President? I don't think he is all there! Shades of Ronald Reagan. GO OBAMA.

Disgusted in America   June 10th, 2008 11:34 am ET

The real story here is about a guy who works his duff off for this country, goes to war for this country, serves as a senator for this country, becomes a POW for this country, and basically gives his life TO this country, and THIS is how you (we) treat him. That's the real, sad story here.

You better all hope NONE of you lose your memory at all with age, because people will be laughing at you and rightly so, for what you've done here.

prairieguy   June 10th, 2008 11:33 am ET

HAHAHAA!!!! Is misspeaks are getting worse each week…how about he just veto himself from the election!!!

McBush, McSame, McInsane, McFlip Flopper!!!!!

OK   June 10th, 2008 11:33 am ET

So many "idiot" comments out there. The man is not an idiot, you might not agree with his positions, but resorting to name calling just makes you look like "idiots". It was a slip, perhaps a freudian, as it is not a strectch to imagine him thinking I'd rather be sitting on my couch drinking a cold beer than standing here repeating this for the hundreth time. Or, he was thinking about all his wife's money. Eaither way it is funny and about as significant as his shoe size yet some would use it to impute his credibility. HELLO, how about the substance of the quote, do we want a president claiming commitment to ending legislator's pet pork projects? As a tax payer it makes sense to me, but I admit beer jokes are a lot more fun. Great Job CNN, way to report!!!!

catjax   June 10th, 2008 11:33 am ET

here goes the Obama legion…very very vicious. i don't forget what you did to Hillary. My vote will never go to Hussein Obama..

Billiam the Kid   June 10th, 2008 11:33 am ET

I think that some older Americans are scared of Obama. He represents something they aren't used to. Since 68 with Nixon the repugs have been using the fear, and divide and conquer tactics. You would hope at some point people would reallyt start to pay attention. As for the women who will vote for MCain, I don't believe it. They talk about sexism being used?? So they will vote for a man that was asked "What are we gonna do about the b!t*h??" To which McCain just laughed.

tydicea   June 10th, 2008 11:32 am ET

McCain had beer on his mind, had one too many before taking the stage, or was having a senior moment. In any event if he makes good on his promise to veto beer he is sure to lose the popular vote. lol!

Mike   June 10th, 2008 11:32 am ET

Wow a presidential candidate mispoke. Groundbreaking news if I ever heard it. Meanwhile, articles of impeachment are introduced against the president of the United States and not a peep is heard. Fantastic job as always corporate press.

Ken, New York   June 10th, 2008 11:31 am ET

How is it that some disenfranchised Hillary voters are voting for this guy? If these people really CARED about the well-being of the country, they should look at the best policies instead of focusing on being sore losers especially because Obama won it fair and square.

People who think with their hearts instead of their heads will only lead this country into further peril. And if they make unwise decisions, I hope these voters are most affected by the economy and gas. Get over it!!

OBAMA 08
Great job to Hillary Clinton as well!

You know - "Beer" translates to "Bill with Earmarks" - haha.

I don't think it was a slip of the tongue at all. It was a joke that fell flat. Very flat.

No one is saying it is the end of the world! Stop being so sensitive!This is one small article with a video clip of it. When Michelle Obama made her statement it was all over tv and everyone talked about it and wrote about it. You can really believe that anyone is covering this or making it out to be something terrible like they did with Michelle Obamas statement.

Seth   June 10th, 2008 11:30 am ET

Look deep into your hearts people, past any hardened notions of partisanship, or disliking Democrats simply because you have for so long. John McCain is not suited to lead the most powerful nation in the world.

Obama is young, intelligent, clear-headed, eager and above all else has proven fantastic judgment. His plan, much like Abe Lincoln, is to fill his cabinet with members from both parties. He will choose the best people, not the best Democrats.

John McCain is going to stock the entire gov.t full of hard-line republicans that will continue to dismantle our social programs, overturn a woman's right to choose, keep the behemoth war machine rolling along, and eventually destroy our nation from within.

Don't do it.

Even though it is a slip of the tongue, it still amazes me that OLD MAN YELLS AT CLOUDS.

There is no mandatory age requirement for federal employees to retire, but there are limits on employees in special positions. For example, law enforcement officers and firefighters must retire at 57. For air traffic controllers, the mandatory age is 56.

How come we allow the President of the US (i.e. Commander-n-Chief of the world's most powerful military and Economic leader of the world's most powerful economy) to be over 67 years old?!?!?!?!

Tommy Hussein in St. Louis   June 10th, 2008 11:30 am ET

This is not a big deal. I certainly don't blame him for thinking about beer; he'll need some as the general election campaign heats up. Running for president is very stressful and there are a lot of things on candidates' minds.

Besides, who needs beer? I've got wine, puckers, margaritas, vodka, tequila, whiskey, …

Get ready America..The more we see of Senator McCain the more outakes there are going to be. We are going to find out that other than being a war veteran, a long time Senator, there is nothing exceptional about him. No offense, just facts.

DH   June 10th, 2008 11:28 am ET

You all should be ashamed of yourselfs, i believe he has earned our respect, do not forget that he fought for us and paid a terrible price to defend us! I'M A Hillary supporter! and let me add this! he will have my vote! and millions of other Hillary supporters. You OBAMA supporters only see with your eyes! NO HEART AT ALL!

Well, you know what he was really thinking:

"Gee, I wish this darn speech was over already, so I could have a cold one!"

Anonymous   June 10th, 2008 11:26 am ET

With all due respect to McCain, since he is an elder, the Republican party can't be serious about McCain running for president, could they?

I almost feel sorry for McCain . . . almost.

But, more concerned on the outcome and changes that need to be made for the kido's future.

McCain just doesn't have the stance to run as president.

Dustin   June 10th, 2008 11:25 am ET

You go to war and be in a prison camp for five years and see how well you move afterward.

It was a funny comment, my only gripe is that people still refer to him as McBush and McSame. John McCain IS change. He is basically an independant and he works with Democrats and Republicans alike. He is trying to change filthy politics that is run by money and greed.

Obama's calls that he is a third term Bush are blatantly false. I lost respect for him.

You have to wonder sometimes if some of these comments are actually posted by republicans posing as dissatisfied Clinton supporters. If not, then these dissatisfied democrats are as stupd as the politicians in Washington.

Do you really think McCain and the republicans will even listen to anything you have to say after they have your vote? Do you really think McCain will fight for the causes that "you say" you care about? Do you think McCain will appoint supreme court justices (life appointments) that will have your best interest in mind? LAMO

Go right ahead and vote for McCain, I will love the next 8 years of whinning democrates.

La Raza   June 10th, 2008 11:23 am ET

These are signs folks. You can put lipstick and perfume on a pig, but it's still a pig. The fact is that McCain is an elderly man. He can attempt to make jokes and blatant gaffs, but he is showing early signs of Alzheimers.

This is far from news. Everyone slips on words here and there. It's called being human. Give the guy a break! If you're going to give McCain crap for something, do it for that dumb gas tax holiday, or his statements about staying in Iraq.

Or, if you're really hurting for news, go report on what is going on in Darfur. I'm sure there's some real news there.

And in case there are any doubts about my allegiences in the election, OBAMA '08!!!

Can we really stand another four years embarrasment by a president that can't string four words into a meaningful sentance. Someone told me all Obama could do was give a decent speech, well even if that is all he can do (which I doubt) that puts him one up on either Bush or McSame.

I have to admit - this election will have more "funny" snide jokes and remarks with these two "guys" than with Senator Clinton. Most women don't drink beer as a favorite beverage and are more articulate when they drink thier beverage of choice.

Maybe John should not drink before speaking. I really wonder how much money AZ has benefited from McCain's votes or lobbying on bills with earmarks?

Anna, SW Missouri   June 10th, 2008 11:17 am ET

If this election is about earmarks, then we are really idiots. Yes, there needs to be better monitoring of earmarks, and probably half of the earmarks are rediculous, but there are very good earmarks also. Earmarks are how our own Senators bring back money to our states that we have paid to the government. Many of them are for roads, bridges (not the bridge to nowhere kind), schools and universities, and hospitals. The funny part of all of this is that the Republicans grab more earmarks than the Democrats, so, in that respect, John is just trying to show he is a maverick. It would be nice if he explained that earmarks are a very tiny part of the budget and if he really wanted to be a maverick, he would quit embracing the Bush policies that have put us where we are today.

Obamabots, I really feel sorry for you and all your pent up anger. If you listen to the next clip of McCain speaking, you'll see a very presidential man who calls for civil discussions as Obamabots yell at him from the crowd. It's OK to disagree, but all this anger is not healthy. Let's actually hear what two people have to say about the direction of our country instead of making fun of misspeaks and goofy biking attire.

Hey, it's Hot on the East Coast. It's obvious, the man wants a beer. It's funny but I don't think the media should let this be the story of the day or of the week. As long as he's not bashing OBAMA, I don't care what slip ups he has. However, the debates between him and OBAMA will go down in history! Now let's get down to some serious business.

I really think there is something wrong with this man. The memory lapses, the ridicuous statements, I think he may be developing Alzheimers.

This is scary. Obama is not that popular that he will be a sure thing. What if we end up with this old guy who is off his rocker in the White House?

Independent-woman-4-Obama   June 10th, 2008 11:10 am ET

OH BOY! What fun we will all have with poor McCain's slips-of-the-tongue!

Its not about his age (because I will eventually be there too) its about his party! The Republicans and their cronies HAVE REALLY CREATED A HUGE MESS! AND DO WE WANT MORE OF THE SAME?

That's the question, we, Americans, must ask ourselves and answer truthfully. DO YOU WANT MORE FOREIGN POLICY FAILURES?

MORE NATIONAL DEBT?

MORE TROOPS DYING, MAIMED AND SADLY, COMMITTING SUICIDE?

MORE AMERICANS LOSING THEIR JOBS?

MORE AMERICANS WITHOUT HEALTHCARE?

ARE YOU REALLY BETTER OFF TODAY THAN 8 YEARS AGO?????

to john saying Obama is intelligent   June 10th, 2008 11:10 am ET

John—-

remember when Obama couldn't remember which family member served in WWII… twice

remember when he said 10,000 people died in a tornado in kansas

remember when he said 100,000,000 died in myanmar

remember when he said he has visited 57 states so far

Like it or not, Obama has shown that when he speaks without a speech written, he's an average guy….

people like John are the reason people stay home and refuse to vote…

I didn't see the "beermark" … I hope he laughed at himself after the "slip" … Nice thing about McCain is that he doesn't take himself too seriously. On the other hand Oboma seems to take himself much too seriously of late … dangerous … I hope he outgrows it.

McBush is becoming a joke. LIeberman had to correct him in Iraq and he can't seem to master a teleprompter. Even his loved one (Bush) can do that. He is too old and that is coming from someone who is 74 and knows what it is all about.

You guys haven't seen nothing yet. If this old delusional man get elected my family and i will move to another country for sure. Can't afford another 4yrs of stupidity and ignorance. The same old man confusing Shiites and Shunis in the eyes of the whole world.

he's going to veto kids off his front lawn too.

is anyone seriously considering handing the nuke button to a man who is just barely legally sane?

Veto every single beer? Well, that cinches it for the Democrats. No way the Republicans can win with that plank in their platform. :D

WHAT? Is he insane??? I'm a beer lover. Nobody can take my beers away from me. I don't care who you are.

Senile! Flip Flopper! McBush is 'Out of Touch'!

Take your pick.

Also, wants to overturn Roe vs. Wade. Also, feels that it is a homeowners fault about foreclosures.

He does not 'remember' what he is saying. I used to respect this guy until he sold himself out.
