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.

Veto every beer.......too funny
Canadian beer is better!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OLD MAN YELLS AT CLOUDS
Well, he just lost the blue collar vote.
that was cute.
TOO FUNNY FOR A REAL COMMENT...shows where his mind was...
No Hillary
Then McCain 08
I really hope that the sentence structure issues are a CNN mistake as opposed to what McCain actually said. Don't we already have a pres-er-dint that don't talk so good?
Sigh, and this is who angry Clinton supporters want to vote for out of spite..lord..
Obama/Sebelius or Webb
Why does he mark his beer with his ear? Very strange!
Come on folks. Get over it. News broadcasters have done worse and McCain fixed it immediately.
Who cares about flubs in speech? Obama does it too, ask him about the 57 states. Of course we'll have the rabid Obots in here shouting "He's old" and "His wife makes money from beer!". Who cares???
Honestly though, I am waiting for the day when the news media decides to cover real issues that affect the citizens of this country. The economy, the war, the failure of leadership in Washington D.C. all trump a gafe in a speech. It won't happen anytime soon, I can still dream though.
This guy is a joke!!! I tought Bush was bad....
That's because Cindy just wrote him a check!
I'll deal with the high gas prices, but please don't veto the beer! Beer happens to be the only thing that makes me forget about the high gas prices!!!
Good god there after my beer .It sad that i have to pay 4$ for gas put as a young vet after a hard day i like to have a cold one . i have to go a stash my beer some place safe .
Hasn't McCain had enough "slips"of the tongue to make you wonder?
too little cindy mccain i see
have to bring some thing related to her into the campaign.
The man is an idiot. That is all we need, a second idiot in the
White House.
Oh no...back to Prohibition!
Mcbushed is too old, he's loosing his memory already.
Which is worse? This slip of the tongue or Obama's belief that there are 57 states? I didn't see CNN make THAT a story.
IDIOT
Dumb. Who cares about that. The real issues are McCain's horrible policies. Obama will crush him in debates.
Slip of the tongue, or slip of the brain?
Maybe you should not veto every bill. Some ear marks are actually good. That is where you get the funding for schools and road work and other important things. So maybe he should actually read the bill first.
Okay, nothing to worry about; just another senior moment. The older we become the more frequent they occur. Maybe he needs to use a tele-prompter to prevent these slip ups, as they are becoming sad.
So if he vetoes every single beer, where is his wife going to get the money to fly him around on her private jet, as she inheritted all of her money from her beer distributing family?
Our beer supplies are in dire threat America. How does he expect us to put up with another 4 years of Republican rule without beer?
Riots in the streets. I'm throwing the first brick.
This guy is such a self-serving moron – I'm almost 100% convinced the American public will elect him!
We can count on John for REAL action. All that Barry Bama has to offer is criticism – absolutely NO REAL plans, just words. Anyone can complain – even my 2 year-old granddaughter. ...But I'd be hard-pressed to think she is an effective leader (even though she has me wrapped around her little finger.)
Obama, Agree to more debates, townhall meetings in any forum...now!
McCain, decline all debates, townhall meetings in any forum, for your own good....
Veto every beer? Thats worse than starting the Iraq War!
Jeez, he wants to go back to prohibition? He lived before, during and after, so he should know that it didn't work out to well.
Beer: lucky enough to have TWO whole Constitutional amendments dedicated to it.
(By the way, this post is all in good fun, thanks.)
I'll bet his wife will have something to say about vetoing beer! Let the senility fest continue!
This guy's an idiot.
This man forgets a lot and can't read teleprompters very well.
Beer now cheaper than gas.... drink.... don't drive.
Every time I look at pictures of MCSame or hear his bumbling remarks it makes me more aware that this man has some mental
deficiencies setting in!!
he is just too OLD to take on the pressures and surmountable problems a President has to face
He is just not healthy enough....period!!!
Americans better think long and hard before they vote for this guy
"ear"mark..."beer" bill.... simple tongue twister. Come on CNN. Hillary voters are going for McCain so quit campaigning for Obama already. At least McCain knows how many states there are in the USA.
Okay, Campaign Alert speech.. "He will VETO every BEER"..
I have to tell you it was the funniest thing to hear and I suppose being and elitist married to a beer fortune – I suppose he does have beer on his mind.. after all – his wife is the beer winner- I mean bread winner..
meanwhile he is fighting with his mike to stay up as his robotic arms keep knocking it down.. too funny again... (never a leadership quality)
Too FUNNY..FUNNY...FUNNY,,,, – watch for it across the news stations or more likely the late-night talk shows host will have a hey-day with this.. It was the most interesting part of his speech..
at least there is a sense of humor with McCain, I have never heard Obama laugh out loud, why so serious, take it easy I think it is a cute mistake LOLOLOLOLOL but then again I have a weird sense of humor sometimes
I love how this is news....I am supporting Obama for President (and I'm a Republican) – add Hillary as VP....and McCain will get my support...I have suspended my contributions to Obama until he announces his VP.....if Clinton is on the ticket....McCain will start to get my campaign contributions.....
This seems to happen alot with Senator McCain! Voters be weary!
This Guy is a joke all he knows this two words Veto and War.
Soooo what ! He's human just like the rest of us who make verbal mistakes daily.
OBAMA SAID "we've been in 57 states and one more state to go"....beat the hell out of him too.
I'm not for McCain, but for Pete's Sake act like a human and quit picking about everything little thing.
I'm for a leader like Truman, FDR, Teddy Roosevelt – where have all the good/leaders gone???
Jack C
Oregon
PS By the way the 75,000 at stadium where Obama spoke was a ROCK CONCERT THAT PLAYED AN HR before Obama spoke and again played afterwards. Very clever.
THIS GUY IS BUSH WHACKED... DO HE EVEN KNOW THERE IS AN ELECTION GOING ON.........?
OBAMA 08....
Dumb McCain...NO, NO 4 more yrs of depression and stupidity.......
NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN!
Senior Moments? How about Alzheimer's???
Don't worry guys he wan't get chance to veto anything
No Hillary, for sure no Obama. Then, yes, McCain.
Ironic that CNN commenters feel entitled to criticize on a verbal gaff but can't seem to spell correctly.
Bitter people get mad and vote against their own best interest. He told no lies. They get mad at the truth because they can't handle the truth. Maybe it's not a good thing to have a woman as president, because if a world leader does not agree with her she just might react like the Hillary supporters on here.
Now I understand why most of you are going to vote McSame. We won't be mad at you for cutting off your own head, you just can't help youself. Well we might as well just hang on because McSame is going to win with your help and when Hillary runs next time we will do the same to her so I guess the republicans will be in the White House for at least 16yrs.
....Hey I wonder if that includes a VETO for BUSH BEER....
Oh, calm down McCain supporters. The reason this is here is because it's funny.
This guy is senile. Someone pull him off with a cane.
I vetoed a few beers over the weekend, it was a mess.
slow news day eh?
Anyway, so much for the mcSame theory... ole Dubya would NEVER veto a beer, now would he?
Another dummy running for president. Can't even read teleprompter correctly. 4 more years of misery and recession. God forbid.
The man is old, has literally been through the wars and has PTSD.. he is being set up as a puppet for Romney .Romney knew that because of the Mormaon FLDS scandal he wouldn't go any further..so MCain was chosen as a fall guy.. if he is voted in and screws up, which I think he will..no harm done.. Romney looks like a Super Hero and takes over.. a vote for this man is a vote to blow a few more holes in the sinking ship that is the U.S. He will continue to send your children and husbands and wives to war..for what?? Every vote for McCain is for the war and war on Iran and on and on.All McCain knows about is WAR. That does NOT make him a a good candidate for the United States.. it makes him dangeous.
Slow news so far.
Too bad I don't drink, else I'd tell him not to veto it, but encourage and applaud the import of Canadian Beers.
Uh Oh.............. The old man has lost it..........Signs of Dementia
Was he referring to all those NOT distributed by his wife's family's distribution company? Gotta get your campaign funds from somewhere...
CNN is worried about Jhon Mccain' s policy. If Obama said this, CNN woud talk at least for two days.
The No Hillary, then McCain guy is a relection of pure ignorance. McCain is a 180 degree value difference from Hillary. Everything he wants, she pretty much doesn't stand fore. But go ahead, vote for that. Maybe change your party affiliation as well, would make all of us feel better.
Yes,...he's going to veto Budweiser. Cindy will love him for this slip of the...
What do you expect from someone that's verbally challenged, senile and looks like Grandpa Munster? A Pander bear!
Is this who the Clintonistas want to lead the free world? Gees–you people are really drinking too much kool-aid; what manner of lunacy would cause you to aswing this far to the right? Off kilter? Wow!! You deserve each other, REALLY.
That's pretty funny, but if McCain tries to take away my Bud, I'm voting for Barr, the Libertarian!
This sounds like something from the Prohibition episode of The Simpsons. I think we should call McCain "The Beer Baron"
Veto every beer?
How could McCain forget prohibition? I mean, he was around at that time right?
Is there anything lamer than political junkies without a sense of humor? C'mon Reps, we laughed at Obama's "57 states" comment and his 37 at bowling.
'fess up, the actual quote was funny!
A vote for McCain is a vote for Bush. Veto McCain not beer!
Bush and McSame 're a disgrace to millions of smart Americans and white race in general.
I will give this to McCain, he definitely is taking after Bush when he miss speaks. Is this planned on his part. Remember all those people who voted not only once, but TWICE for Bush, even after all his blunders (to put it nicely)? It worked once, can it work again??
This is just the beginning folks. Its gonna get alot worst. No disrespect McCain but you are too old to take on the job of being President of the US.
close your eyes listen to him sounds like bush to me this man is going to destroy this country as well as all of us he needs to retire and go have a few beers!!!!!
Wow, that's almost as bad as Obama's 57 states, seeing dead people on Memorial Day, talking about giving breathalyzers to kids with asthma, about ethnic cleansing being good for Iraq, etc. At least he corrected himself immediately though. Hillary could still run circles around both of these men.
NO MORE BEER!NO MORE BEER!REPUBLICANS KNOW BETTER THAN TO DRINK THE DEVIL'S BREW! [mccain courting the evangelical right]
Beer !!! This guy has lost his bearing, ha, ha, ha
Hey, I hear a beer a day helps you live longer - he might want to rethink vetoing it, LOL.
On the serious side, this guy is just plain scary to me. He talks down to us like we've been bad little children wanting more toys than he thinks we should have.
What gets me most of all is how he spouts off as if our current economic status had anything to do with taxes or earmarks or lack of jobs or even the unemployment rate - NO, it doesn't. Our economic woes are directly caused by this outrageous war started by the worst president in American history and supported by people like McCain.
How many jobs? How many textbooks? How much medical support? How many roads and bridges and schools could have been built with all the wasted billions of dollars and lives in Iraq?
John McCain - more of the same. McWar, McShame, McBush
GIVE ME A BREAK...
IF THAT WAS SEN. OBAMA..WOULD THAT BE YOUR HEADLINE
NEWS?....NO I DONT THINK SO
INSTEAD OF FOCUSING ON HIS ECONOMIC POLICIES..
THIS IS YOUR HEADLINE
SHAME ON CNN...OBAMA PROMOTION NETWORK
AND THIS IS WHAT YOU "NEWS YOU CAN TRUST?"
And this is the guy the republican party wants to put into office. GIVE ME A BREAK!!!!!!!!!!! This is not the first slip of his tongue, comeon the guy is 71 years old for crying out loud.
Losing his Bearings!!!! As Obama stated!!!!!
What a buffoon ... he's starting to make Bush sound like a great orator! The presidency of the US is far too important of a position in this uncertain world to allow such a dim bulb to replace the low watt fool we currently have. What a joke!
Poor old man, what else he can say when he has no knowledge on anything except WAR. ask about war he never slips his tounge. bom bom bom bom IRAN.
As long as he only veto's Budweiser...
What a hoot.
McCain thinks about drinking beer instead of having his mind on small businesses.
So funny! Mr. McCain flies around in a private jet paid for by beer money, and yet he vows to veto every beermark. OF COURSE it is a slip-of-the-toungue, but it is funny!
SORRY BUT I CAN NOT STOP LAUGHING.
THAT WAS NOT EVEN FUNNY BUT IT WAS HILARIOUS
How much of a senile idiot does McSame have to be to show he is not fit to be President.
Obama for an intelligent President.
... can u imagine this guy holding a conversation with other leaders ... and that slip of tung ... memory loss... temper.... Isn't that gonna b funny?? ... I am sure he will say "... thank you for ur reception u little jerk" to that "Iran" guy if he get the chance to sit with him at all...
The thing is he can't monitor what he utter ... "this is not an old man's job 'my friends' "!!
They'll have to take this beer from my cold dead body.
We asked Republicans to nominate Huckabee . They said no. See the mess McCain is doing. His campaign is going to spend the fall explaining his mistatements, gaffes, stuff. This is total mess
Well that does it, I can not support this man! I must have mu scotch ale!
He will veto every bill that he feels will benefit the 99% majority of citizens but all bills that benefit his wife and the other 1% of the rich that is a different story.
I enjoy reading all of the sophormoric dribblings of the liberals out there. They are so naieve. They are like little children filled with self-righteousness who can only cry about how bad things are, incapable of formulating any reasonable, sound action items to improve our collective situation.
Go Pink, save the snail darters, hug the trees, complain, complain, complain.
Some day you may actually grow up and the reality of responsibility awaken your intellect.
Why dont you veto the air we are breathing?
Another senior moment for McSame. And this guy is the BEST the Republicans can do? Eight years of a lying moron, and now someone who cannot make a public statement without some kind of gaffe.And he wants to attack Iran and pack the Supreme Court with justices who will overturn every progressive decision for the last 60 years.
When McCain says beer instead of bill it is the end of the world. When Obama's wife says she has never been proud of America and ment to say I am so proud to see people getting involved, it was just a mistake.
OLD.
WELL, WELL, WELL
PLEASE DON'T VETO MY GUINNESS STOUT AND HEINEKEN
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE.
HOW MANY TIMES DID WE HEARD ABOUT THE SLIP OF THE TONGUE FROM THIS 71 YEARS OLD.
I GUESS HE DRINKS BEER EVERY NIGHT, WELL DAH THEY OWN THE BEER COMPANY.
I DON'T THINK WE NEED AN ALCHOLIC IN THE WHITE HOUSE.
ARE WE GOING TO ELECT MCCAIN WHO DOESN'T EVEN KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON?
I HOPE HE DON'T PUSH THE WRONG BUTTON AND GET US ALL KILL.
THERE HAVE BEEN TOO MANY SLIPS OF THE TONGUE FROM MCCAINBUSH. I JUST FEAR THAT HE IS NOT LOSSING HIS MEMORY. HE IS 71 YEARS OLD MY FRIENDS, AND ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN.
OK OK ok! All kidding aside. This is an almost DAILY thing with McCain. Haven't we had enough with so called " Leaders" who are less than " all there"? 7 1/2 Years of a bumbleing and stumbling joke of a President that if you are honest with yourselves, you would even be afraid to tell people he was you own blood if he wasn't the President. So now we have a guy that IF you even want to give him credit as to NOT be a simple LIAR at LEAST he has a memory problem and sometimes can't keep things straight in his head.
I for one do NOT want a diminished person in charge of MY life. At least he as an excuse. Bush was an Idiot on day ONE!
Oh Magoo . . . you've done it again!
At everyone:
People misspeak, deal with it.
At Obama fans who will try to make something of this:
See above.
At Clinton / McCain:
See above, NO ONE really believes Obama thinks there are 57 states.
At CNN:
This is not news, we really need more on Huckabee performing the Heimlich... that was quality.
Yikes. haha. I am a hillary supporter but Obama is right mccain is loosing his bearings. I think I will be staying home on election night.
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.
WHAT? Is he insane??? I'm a beer lover. Nobody can take my beers away from me. I don't care who you are.
Veto every single beer? Well, that cinches it for the Democrats. No way the Republicans can win with that plank in their platform.
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?
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.
Too funny! I'm going to stock up on my beer today!
This general election is going to provide a lot of laughs!
Obama for President!
This is so funny.
Please don't veto my beer or I'll die!
I wonder what the Repu (gnant) blican trolls prentending to be Hillary supporters will say about this?? McSame has completely lost his marbles, yep that's whose hand I want on the trigger???
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.
I like Senator McCain but it appears he is slipping because he also made a serious gaffe during a speech in Iraq. We do all mis-speak and John isn't lying he is forgetting which is serious business for a President.
Mr mccain you forget about the tax free Gas holiday,why because you understand people know you fooling them
Hey, Jack Colson... maybe McWar can have a rock concert and invite ABBA to play.
Seriously. I was there. It wasn't music. It was all about Obama and listening to this refreshing change from the politics of the tired old white men who have been writing rules for everyone else since Jesus was born.
Anyone but McSame. No third term for Dubbya.
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.
Poor man. I hope his family talks him into hanging it up. Everyone slips up once in a while, but with McCane it will always be attributed to his age.
MAN I wish Saturday Night Live wasn't off for the summer!!!
Remember the Bob Dole skits, Looking creepy and holding that pencil! LOL!!!
I can't wait for the McCain skits
so funny Iit made me go grab a cold one right now as it is so hot here in nyc. thanks for a good laugh.
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...
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?????
Can the Republicans un-nominate this guy? I'm serious, can they choose someone else or do the rules forbid a change.
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?
mmm....beer laden bills. No wonder nothing gets done in Congress.
........Vetoing BEER means NO MORE DRAFT........ hahahahaha
They say the mind is the first thing to go...
Sooner or later McCain will start hallucinating..
I agree with John McCain. He should veto all beer.
As long as he doesn't veto cognac!
Personally, I suspect we're in for a lot of these types of bloopers, and it's probably got cartoonists/humorists foaming at the mouth at the prospect of four to eight years of these kinds of things. The man underwent how many years of torture at the hands of the Vietcong? You can't tell me he went through that and DIDN'T get PTSD. I won't believe you. Of course he's got PTSD...
Things that make you say, "Hmmmmm".
The Arsenio Hall Show.
run the OBAMA tape where he is stammering and stuttering without his axelrod written flowery speech & teleprompter.
mccain wants all the beer revenue for his wife kind of like the NEA controls the hampered and unqualified school system.
the prisons are run better than the PC schools.
Connecticut Teenager:
I understand why Obama thought there were 57 states. He got them confused with Heinz 57 varieties of ketchup. It's an honest mistake...
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. OBAMA / SEBELIUS anyone...........
He's becoming a Pander bear. Yesterday it was a gas tax holiday, today it's vetoing beer, tomorrow it will be...corporate welfare.
Helping people is not part of any of Senator McCain's public policies.
Anybody but McCain.
Whew! That was a close one!!!! If he vetoed every single beer, I'd havce voted for Obama. Well, I was going to vote for Obama anyway, since Hillary isn't running, but no beer would have sealed the deal.
One of the first signs of Alzheimer's is "losing your words". Hmmmm I wonder......
I am more worried about "more war and less jobs" McCain policy and the perspective for draft etc.
I'm gonna go veto a few beers later on tonight. While watching the Celtics.
Rachel don't be like McCain and loose your bearings, this is exactly why folks need to come out and vote. Too many people died and fought hard for people to sit on their do nothings and not vote in November
I think what John McCain meant was that he'll veto all bills – and then drink a beer!
This guy is obviously senile, he would be a great prez though......like 20 years ago!
Easy people, this is just funny, that's it. Lighten up already
Approve every single war instead.
All if not Hillary then McCain are actually repubs, so dems dont get carried away by these jerks.
It is kind of funny but the fact is the gloabal warming bill would raise beer price 3 to 4 times which might cause me to veto beer...
As Eve Harrington said in 'All About Eve', When you're a secretary in a brewery, it's pretty hard to make-believe you're anything else. Everything is beer. "
Eve McCain as our next president. Just what we deserve after not impeaching Bush.
Women protect your reproductive rights, Vote Obama!!!
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.
This is funny, but it shows he's already thinking about what to have for dinner, which is the REAL important decision to make every day...
mmm, beer
I am an angry Clinton supporter who will write her name on my ballot. The choice between the two remaining, is infinitesimal, to me.
McCain is brain dead.
I really don't see why this old bird is running to be the President. He is just like his friend Bush.
McCain is mispeaking alot these days. Is it the heat?? or the brain??
Some may think this is funny, well I got news for you all it takes is a slip of the push of the button and we could all be killed...
You better think twice about this man...
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.
That is why I usually enjoy German beer. U.S. Presidents have no power to VETO beers from abroad. Especially good German bier.
Well Jon Stewart should have fun with this guy in the upcoming months along with every other comedian hehe.
It will be like Bush never left office.
This guy is so stiff and mechanical in his delivery. He walks like a robot, and his jaws move like a puppet.
Hmmmm....
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?
Sincerely,
Not voting for another 4 years of the same old, same old!
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.
First they take away the beer, then its the automatic rifles!
It slipped, his mind was somewhere else. Let's not compare him to GWBush for this particular moment because this guy has actually accomplished something.That said. Next story.
Can't wait to tape the riveting State of The Union Speeches by President Barack Hussein Obama! Get the popcorn!
My god please don't vote for this idiot - he is as bad as the simean imbecile that sits in the oval office now. 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.
this is an insult for blue coller voters.
So how many past presidential candidates have gone through their entire speech schedule without making some sort of mistake? ZERO!!!!! I'm actually pretty ashamed that I live in a country with some of you guy's, especially the way you are making fun of older people and the fact that you have no room for error.
McCain has my vote and Lord help us if Obama slips up!!!!
Veto every beer? Well, I guess I won't be voting for John McSame, my friends...
Well, maybe he can veto Bud lite...
As long as he doesn't veto wine.
Can we regurgitate this slip of the tongue as much as people are repeating the "57 States" slip of the tongue?
He doesn't like being married to beer money?
They're reporting THIS GARBAGE and not IMPORTANT things like Kucinich's articles of impeachment? Why won't they report on Kucinich?!? I think someone introducing 35 articles of impeachment would be HUGE NEWS!!! Stupid corporate media ...
Don't vote for McCain, else our beer will be gone.
He's losing his bearing.
Gee if I had a dime for every time NOBAMA made an error in his speaking I could fill up the gas tank in my SUV!!
I thought it was a funny statement. hahaha
He just lost my vote!!!!!!!!!
To those jumping on this like it is major make sure you do it to O's 57 states also.
THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOUR CORPORATE OWNED MEDIA SELECTS YOUR CFR MEMBERS ONLY CANDIDATES.
IF THE TROOPS WANTED MCAMNESTY FOR PRESIDENT THEN THEY SHOULDN'T HAVE GIVEN MORE DONATIONS TO RON PAUL THAN TO ALL OTHER CANDIDATES COMBINED...
THIS COUNTRY IS BEING DESTROYED BY THE MEDIA, THE CONGRESS AND OF COURSE, OUR OWN UNEDUCATED PUBLIC.
LAND OF THE SHEEP, HOME OF THE AFRAID.....
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...
OH NO, MCCAIN STUMBLED ON A WORD! WHATEVER SHALL WE DO????
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!!!
If there was any doubt in anybody's mind that this guy is a Bush-clone, this should erase it.
The sad thing about it is he wouldnt of even remember saying it if no one would of reminded him about it. I think we really need to look at his age and see if he is really in a good state of mind to even be president if elected
Wow. He votes like Bush and now he speaks more like Bush too. I wonder what'll be next.
lol..he couldnt have meant beer.. Cindy would be outta biz'ness!
"All we have to fear is beer itself!".
I really hope Obama wins!!
McCain is an old bird, and don't know any better.
Well, we know what's on his mind. Beer anyone? Also, why is it that the media captures every single one of McCain's slips when Obama has a lot of them himself? Biased reporting at its best.
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.
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.
How long will it take him to deny saying this?
8 years of republican pork barrel spending and "NOW" McGeezer promises to veto earmarks.
John McCain's plan is more of the same Bush economic policies and we all know what that was all about – GIVE THE RICH MORE!
"And every single bill that we have come across my desk I will make them famous."
What the heck does that mean??
What?????
This is like taking away my life
He was probably wanting an ice cold one at the time.
At least we know he'll be a down-to-earth president that likes beer!
I've have bigger slips of the tongue.....and I'm a whole lot younger than McCain!
And wasn't it Obama that said he'd visited 57 states?????? is that early senility? Early Alzheimer's?
Lighten up!
McCain – 2008
The more experience the better right HRC supporters?
JP June 10th, 2008 10:48 am ET
This guy is such a self-serving moron – I'm almost 100% convinced the American public will elect him!
))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
DITTO!
Remember when Bush was re-elected, the whole world wondered why 59 Million Americans would be so stupid? Watch the same people elect Mccain..the world would be laughing and amazed at how dumb pple can be ...shame!
too many slips man. are you sure you dont have early onset dementia?
America beware
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.
Undecided Clinton fan
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.
Well, you know what he was really thinking:
"Gee, I wish this darn speech was over already, so I could have a cold one!"
I think that McCain may have one to many of what he was going to veto....bottoms-up......this bud is for you.
DID HE MEAN EVERY BEAR BOTH FORIGEN AND DOMESTIC?
Funny stuff...but everyone has a slip of the tongue, no big deal, but i will enjoy the late night take on it with letterman and others...
He never speaks from the heart. He is a repub robot. Hey, does his wife ever speak? or is it true she's a stepford wife?
Not the way to win Clinton Supporters In West Virginia.
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.
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! And if you are the kind of people OBAMA attracts, Lord help us all!
McCain 08
Man, good thing I can't afford beer. I guess the benefit of the doubt is out of the question now.
Where are the SEVERAL tickers that focuses on the HUGE number of Obama's gaffs?
John( Lost In Space) robot arms gives me the creeps. THE MAN IS NOT VERY GOOD TO LOOK AT I MUST SAY. He seem to be sinking fast from all of the preasure that is on him. I hate to say I told you so but I told you so. He is an old man and should not be running for president.
Wow, this guy is losing his memory and his speech. Way to go Old Man McSane, VOTE of War instead.
Obamanation '08
This is not surprising in that McCain is owned by his wife's beer company. He has suds on his mind.
HOW DARE YOU?! LOL!
Do we want another 4 years with a president who speaks english as a second language.
If he takes my beer, I am moving to Canada.
Can this guy get through one speech without a misstatement of some nature? Wow, I simply cannot wait for the debates to begin.
McSame/McBush/McSame/McBush...Neither wonder the poor old guy is confused...Can't wait for the town hall meetings...I think he's going to be sorry he pushed so hard for them.
Yes we can (drink beer)!!!
Obama 08
The RNC is paying bloggers to flood sites like this one with posts trying to get former Hillary supporters to switch sides.
Don't be fooled folks – McCain is against everything Hillary stands for.
Democrats '08
CNN POST THIS!
Pretty silly stuff. Just as silly as the Republicans on this website posing as disgruntled Democrats. Grow up and lose in Nov. like big kids.
Democrats unite!!! Save the country.
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, ...
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?!?!?!?!
JOEL for hope June 10th, 2008 10:41 am ET
Good god there after my beer .It sad that i have to pay 4$ for gas put as a young vet after a hard day i like to have a cold one . i have to go a stash my beer some place safe .
***************************************************
Were you drinking when you wrote this?
How about we focus on what matters and not the small mistakes the candidates make during speeches. Thank you CNN for focusing your efforts on what truly matters!
And to "Seam, Florida" – Id like to see you after 5 1\2 years as a POW.
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.
If no beer from McCain, then Obama!!!
Obama 08
I wonder what his wife Paris McBush thinks about that?
Can't Read.
Can't Speak.
Can lead a country?????
HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR
Greg
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.
I think he was trying to be funny.
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.
You know, people with dementia, past strokes and early Alzheimer's disease use the wrong words that way......hmmmmm
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!
This idiot trully is a mirror image of Bush!!! GEESH!!! Bushisms already
McCain 08 is better than Obama anyday!!!!
He really does want to be McBush – he'll do the same politics, he'll even talk the bad same way! wow – it's scary what 8 years of Bush can do to your vocab'
Are you serious? This made the news?
Leave the man alone. He has gone through years of torture, etc. Is a wonder that he can speak. He's a hero.
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.
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!
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.
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..
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!!!!
HAHAHAA!!!! Is misspeaks are getting worse each week...how about he just veto himself from the election!!!
McBush, McSame, McInsane, McFlip Flopper!!!!!
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.
America, is this who you want for President? I don't think he is all there! Shades of Ronald Reagan. GO OBAMA.
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.
this good man is too old to be president.
And obama thinks there are 57 states in the u.s and
canada has a president
the great lakes are in oregon
kentucky is next to arkansas
sioux city s.d. ECT ECT ECT ,,,,
GIVE ME McCAIN ANY DAY!!!!!!!
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.
"Four more beers!
Four more beers!"
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?
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.
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.
Yes Johnny,we will VETO you in november.
THAT'S MY SHARP SHOOTER.
HE LOVES TO VETO EARMARKS BECAUSE THEY GO TO THE
AMERICAN TAX PAYER. IF THEY WENT TO IRAQ, THAT'S
ANOTHER STORY. HE IS SUCH THE MAVERICK. WE SPEND
MORE THAN A BILLION DOLLARS A DAY IN IRAQ, HIS & HIS
FRIENDS PET PROJECT, THAT BY THE WAY MAKE THEM MONEY.
Senator Obama would not be permitted to make this mistake, why should we let Senator McCain off the hook? Remember every word, every slip of the tongue, is fair game.
My body has vetoed a few beers in its time!
And Obama has claimed there are 57 states and a phantom 10,000 people perished in the recent midwest tornadoes. I'm no fan of McCain, bur really, what is WRONG with you people? Is it Selective Attention Disorder???
I'm looking forward to seeing both McCain"s and Obama's blooper reels after the election is over. "America's Funniest Presidential Candidate's Videos" ready made for prime time.
I don't care if it is a slip, he is running for the highest office; he will communicate with well educated leaders from around the world.
My mom slips like that all the time, she is 73.
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.
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?
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.
Bitter and resentful Clinton supporters can't help but vote for McCain. With him as president, they will have another 4 years to be even more bitter and resentful.
Does McBush mean every Anhouser-Bush Beer? Or, is He also including Rupert Beer ?
And just when you thought no one could be dumber,up jumps dumbest.
How many states are there in our great country, according to Obama?
exactly. People make mistakes. Nobody is perfect. Obama is most certainly not perfect, he is a fascist socialist commie.
Geez,
You Obama supporters and even some of you crazy Repubs..
RELAX!
How is this even news?
There goes the red-neck vote. Hope slips of the tougue don't happen during the 3am phone call. Now we know why he won't talk to our enemies.
sylvia June 10th, 2008 11:21 am ET
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.
If it was Mexican beer he could veto it with two x's.
So what if he is President and he has a meeting with an important foreign leader and he stubbles? He is NOT Presidential.
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'
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!
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!
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.
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.
Anti-Obama bloggers = Republicans posing as Democrats
If not Hillary, then McCain = Republicans posing as Democrats
DEMOCRATS UNITED IN 2008!!!
OBAMA 2008/2012
Peace and Love to All.
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.
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!!
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
Clinton 2012 Independent Leader
The first one he will veto is Obama.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
Maybe he just had a long day and had beer on his mind. hah
and obama challenged him by asking 'in all 57 states?'
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.
Leave my beer alone!!!!
God help us all if Obama Winfrey gets elected.
Obama has no plans, just flames.
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.
Go ahead and keep joking around!
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.
AND YOU THOUGHT BUSH WAS BAD??????
AT HIS AGE, HIS MOUTH MOVES FASTER THAN HIS BRAIN.--I DON'T THINK WE WANT THIS OLD MAN AS OUR PRESIDENT.
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
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.
ok take all alchohale ciggerets guns tvs any thing left fore people
to injoy dont forget the fishing and hunting any outdoor sports
you might as well the way this country is going we will all be
street people anyway by the end of the century
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...
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.
ROFL!
Theres many a slip twixt the tongue and the lip.
Seriously:
If you want to elect a Dictator choose McCain.
If you want to elect a President choose Obama!
Have you been drinking McBush?
MCMOULD HAVING ANOTHER MENTAL GLITCH, HEY.
HE WOULD BE GREAT IN ONE OF THOSE 3 AM. SPOTS,
ASKING HIS PILL POPPER," WHERE IS THE PHONE". &
THEN JOE LIBERMAN POPS UP RIGHT BETWEEN THEM
TO HELP HIM FIND IT.
.
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)
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?
O LORD, THIS MAN IS SHARP AS A TACK,
THAT'S BEEN SITTING AROUND FOR A
COUPLE HUNDRED YEARS.
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
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.
"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
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.
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.
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
