Yup men in their 70s, if they are rich go to the doctor every three months or so.
The inequities of wealth in this nation are gross.
So is the idea of a man in his 70s impelled by ego to run for President. Jeez, retire already McCain!
A man born in the Great Depression, before television, jet engines, nuclear power, microwaves, and computers has no business running a country in the 21st century of cellphones, the internet and declining fossil fuel output.
America risks becoming like Catholicism, a century behind the rest of the world.
I mean really, do we have proof that he even knows what e-mail is?

Gee CNN. McCain had a mole removed and Obama saw a doctor for his hip. Two blogs on the subject. Is this the best you can do CNN?

Too bad some Americans have to pray their moles are not cancerous since they cannot afford insurance.

MOLE - I THINK HE HAS A BRAIN TUMOR. HE KEEPS MISQUOTING FACTS AND DISTORTING THE INFORMATION. HE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT COUNTRIES BORDER IRAQ, REFERS TO SHIITE AS SUNNI'S AND THOUGHT AL QAEDA WAS IN IRAQ BEFORE THE IRAQ WAR.

How ironic... McCain has Mole removed, yet we are allowing another Mole to enter into the highest office of our beloved country.

America beware who we entrust our nation to, the future of our country has never been so precarious.

To those who don't think McCain's health is important or should be a topic for this site, I disagree. Americans have a right to know about a Candidates' state of health. After all, should he be successful, (which he won't be) he will be making all the decisions about their Nation, ie; Military, Iraq War, Social Programs the (lack of) and the economy. Furthermore he is 75? years of age! Respectively, Obama's state of health should also be known. It seems many Americans appear to be more interested in their Candidates' Religious Background than their state of health. In my mind, that is a skewed perception of the essentials needed for President. . .

Dr Sam What cover-up? McCain is treated with kid gloves. He makes gaffes like refering to the Czech Republic as Czechoslovakia, 2 times. Here are McCain's own words from July 21, 2008, He (McCain) warned of a “very hard struggle, particularly given the situation on the Iraq-Pakistan border.” Not even close to each other and not 2 border sharing countries. Surely McCain with his "foreign" experience should have known this!!.. Also McCain's nursewife Cindy has to steady him by grabbing his elbow everytime he walks down stairs or steps!! I don't wish anyone cancer, but he is unfit to be president!!

You're welcome John, I'm glad the $20k+ I paid in federal taxes last year helped pay for that! Unfortunately, due to the rapid decline of the dollar caused by your party's debt & spend policies, I'm having trouble being able to afford my co-pay. I'm pretty sure I have a small fracture in my leg, but I won't know until payday.

I do wish McCain the best in life as I do with any other person on Earth. With that being said, is he really "fit" to run this country? Let's be responsible and vote for the person who is actually in tune with the needs of the people. Barack Obama is intellectually in tune with America, he is physically fit to carry this country out of debt and war!

McCain's mental and physical health is a concern not just a mole but I'm glad he's okay. McCain can show how patriotic he is by relinquishing his quest for the presidency and republicans need to step up and do what's best for the country and for their friend McCain.

"please go to your dermatologist or your doctor"

Umm...I can't afford health care so I guess I better vote democrat so maybe one day I can say I have a doctor, much less a specialist, I see every three months.

To use a little sport analogy – the presidency is a bit like playing quarterback for the country. Anyone who knows their football knows a solid qb is usually one in top form. Everyone admires the 39 year old for his experience, but when the game’s on the line – most would rather have the mobility, arm strength and stamina of the 28 year old.

72 if he raises his right hand on January 20, 2009. Better have a youn VP. I place my bet on the common sense of the hard working Americans around the country, including Applacia. They will not vote for someone who has nothing in common with them and who does not have their best interest at heart. Several homes, millionaire heirist wife, father and grandfather were both Navy Admirals. Senator McCain has NEVER worked hard in his life except his 5 years of captivity. Be honest. That's why John McCain's tax plan supports the already wealthy, similar to Bush's tax plan.

McCain deserves prayers for his unfortunate bought with cancer.
He's a war hero.

Obama has no resume to prove he can run our country.
He reads his speeches.

He has had concerts before his speeches to draw crowds.
He did it in Germany and Oregon.

McCain is a middle of the road guy that doesn't care about the crowds.

McCain is running a close race even though he's had less coverage and has been outspent three to one.

Americans are not stupid. Go McCain!

Of course we on Obama side are not mean spirited so we wish Mccain well. the white house is not a do or die affair. I wish Mccain will sit back and reflect on life and stop stooping so low to lying and attacking Obama irresponsibly like his folks want him to. may be it is backfiring in polls and God forbid his health. As a spiritual being beware of karma. do good to all mankind even if you are running for white house.
Once again get well soon and Godspeed.

I can see such headlines if McCain had his brain removed. For him this may be one in the same. What McCain has that millions of American's don't have is HEALTH INSURANCE AMERICAN PUBLIC PAYS FOR that will cover necessary medical expenses. All Americans should have what McCain has. All his life he has had government health insurance, as a child his father was in the military, then he was in the military and latter in congress and senate. McShame for not wanting to give all Americans..

McCain's "standard 3-month checkup"....Must be nice to have health insurance. The rest of the over 48 million uninsured Americans could die from melanomas and I am sure the Republicans could care less.

I wish the best for McCain, but this is cause for concern as we need a president to be able to sit for two terms in order to be effective. Let's face it, he's in his 70s. He's had prostate and skin cancer. That means he's susceptible to cancer. I like his warnings to use sunscreen and just stay out of the sun period.

I sure wish I had the free health care he has.

The mole on our economy is malignant, Bush tax cuts for the rich, the war in Iraq, juicy contracts awarded to Republican cronies are huge contributory factors. The Republicans have sold our country to the Saudis, so why would we want McSame?

I love how even when an article about the man having a mole removed is posted, there are still Obama minions who will jump at the opportunity to insult him. I'm glad that at least some of you had souls enough to wish him well. Either way, this is a rather pointless article. I guess CNN was feeling guilty after covering every insignificant part of Obama's life and wanted to include McCain for once.

This confirms what I already believed. McCain's health situation is way too fragile to become President.

If he really only had cencerous moles removed in 1993, 2000, and 2002 then he would be out of the woods by now from these every 3 month trips and regular face butcher jobs he's been getting. This is the second time in the last 3 months that he has had something removed from his face. No way. He is a HUGE health risk to me!!! I want somebody that will stay together under the worst pressure and strain imaginable. He's NOT the man for that job. Pitty, Romney got buffaloed, HE IS HEALTHY, SMART and NOT SENILE!

I wish Senator McCain only the very best of health. To be clear, a possible recurrence of his type of skin cancer would probably have little effect on his ability to be an effective Commander in Chief. He has, and would continue to have as President, the very best heath care in the entire universe … unlike me. It's really everything else about him that would render him ineffective. So, no thank you. Obama '08 - sore hip and all.

I was trying to hard not to laugh at the comment about him being a 'gargoyle.' He is a pretty ugly man in all honesty but I donot wish anything bad on him. Try some self tanner McCain. Stop going out in the sun since apparently your body cannot handle the elements well.
