Not sure. He’s gotten through selling us a bogus invasion without a plan and he’s still getting a pass from your kind.

I’m in. Though McCain’s lobbyist ties, I think, are significant. At least for a, you know, maverick reformer.

So, has Obama said anything about recent developments in Iraq? Or put forth any substantial solutions for our current energy issues — short term or long term? Or discussed how the proposed new GI Bill Of Rights he supports threatens to gut our military, by removing incentives for enlisted personnel to stay longer than three years and not make a career out of the service? Or how the version he backs also isn’t transferable to spouses and children?

I’d call those matters of actual significance — not the nuances of who said precisely what or who supports what candidate.

So let’s stop making it, J. Let’s stop picking at verbal gaffes and instead only discuss item’s of actual significance.

C’mon. Just for a week. Let’s kick the habit for just that long.

Meanwhile, McCain’s medical report shows that — despite several bouts with cancer and years upon years of being tortured while a prisoner of war — he’s physiologically a lot younger than his years. I’d be curious to see Obama’s medical record in comparison — especially in light of his smoking habit.

Satchel Paige once asked, “how old would you be if you didn’t know how old you were?” On that scale, setting aside simple calendar years and merely looking at their health, I’d bet Obama and McCain aren’t that far apart — certainly not enough to make the “young man vs. old man” comparison overly valid.

Really?

Dang, you should see how often I mix up my kids’ names.

(How about someone who mixes up Shia and Sunni even after being corrected several times? Or someone who makes claims of sniper fire even after the video tapes turn up? Do you really want to make these trivialities the basis for deciding the president?)

As far as nuculer… it grates the hell out of me, but someone once pointed out that Jimmy Carter tends to give it the same pronunciation, and he was a nuculer engineer, so that lends credence to it being more of a general southern thing than anything else.

But damn, it does grate on me. THERE IS NO LETTER BETWEEN THE “C” and the “L!”

So… is anyone going to say anything about all the Obama gaffes, or just say “Bush does it too, and is funnier!”?

J.

And people say McCain is senile?

J.

…as long as we are looking forward…

Which even more so, makes an argument for Obama over McSame.
