If McCain has dementia, what is Obama's excuse?

So tired of the Obama supporters talking about how old McCain is and how he has dementia. Not only are those remarks crass, but they are cruel as well. Diagnosing someone whom you've never met w/ that disease is disrespectful to those suffering from that illness and it is disrespectful to the families who suffer along w/ their family members plagued by this disease.
What type of excuses will those who make fun of McCain's age use to stick up for Obama?

Obama says:

"It’s always a bad practice to say 'always' or 'never'" Source

Not only is this a circular loop, (a paradox) its also contradicts the fact that 24 hours earlier when asked on CBS Face the Nation if he had any doubts about his ideas he said "Never"

Obama Wants To Be Absolutely Clear on Who Is Israel's Friend
July 22, 2008 2:35 PM

"Let me be absolutely clear," Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illinois, said today at a press conference in Amman, Jordan. "Israel is a strong friend of Israel's. It will be a strong friend of Israel's under a McCain...administration. It will be a strong friend of Israel's under an Obama administration. So that policy is not going to change."

I would have loved to watch the translators face after Obama made that brilliant statement...and watch the head-scratching as people listened to The Messiah's words in Israel.

Barack Obama expects to be the President of the United States for the next 8 to 10 years.

Today on CBS’s Face the Nation, Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., in Afghanistan, told the paparazzi-pursued correspondent Lara Logan that “the objective of this trip was to have substantive discussions with people like President Karzai or Prime Minister Maliki or President Sarkozy or others who I expect to be dealing with over the next eight to 10 years.

“And it’s important for me to have a relationship with them early, that I start listening to them now, getting a sense of what their interests and concerns are.” Source Scared Monkeys

Knowledge of the 22nd amendment seems a little light for a man who taught constitutional law.

Speaking about the need to “Clean up our Water”, Barack made this solemn pledge to the people of Oregon:
[H]e will continue his leadership in protecting national treasures like the Great Lakes from threats such as industrial pollution, water diversion, and invasive species.
Oregon to Barack: the Great Lakes are not in Oregon! Source

In Oregon, Obama pleaded ignorance of the decades-old, multi-billion-dollar massive Hanford nuclear waste clean-up:

“Here’s something that you will rarely hear from a politician, and that is that I’m not familiar with the Hanford, uuuuhh, site, so I don’t know exactly what’s going on there. (Applause.) Now, having said that, I promise you I’ll learn about it by the time I leave here on the ride back to the airport.”

I assume on that ride, a staffer reminded him that he’s voted on at least one defense authorization bill that addressed the “costs, schedules, and technical issues” dealing with the nation’s most contaminated nuclear waste site Source Michelle Malkin


Gaffe #29
Explaining why he was trailing Hillary Clinton in Kentucky, Obama again botched basic geography: “Sen. Clinton, I think, is much better known, coming from a nearby state of Arkansas. So it’s not surprising that she would have an advantage in some of those states in the middle.” On what map is Arkansas closer to Kentucky than Illinois? Source Michelle Malkin

What we can learn about Obama from this mind-numbing list of gaffes?

This series of gaffes by Obama that raise serious questions about his ability to compete at a high political level. The lack of common sense suggested by his gullibility in regard to the Greensburg tornado can perhaps be chalked up to lack of experience; but that's the point Source John Hinderaker Powerline.
