John McCain has shown symptoms of Alzheimer's Disease. Is McCain qualified to be President?
1. Memory loss.
McCain forgot that he had a personal meeting with Paxson, head of Florida-based Paxson Communications, before he wrote FCC on Paxson's behalf, in his response to the Lobbygate. Eve...
1. Memory loss.
McCain forgot that he had a personal meeting with Paxson, head of Florida-based Paxson Communications, before he wrote FCC on Paxson's behalf, in his response to the Lobbygate. Even though he said that he did meet with Paxson in a deposition given in 2002. I'm sure McCain wouldn't lie.
2. Difficulty performing familiar tasks.
We don't know McCain's daily routine so we can't say anything here.
3. Problems with language.
McCain misspoke about Baghdad security last year after his visit there. Although he later apologized, one has to wonder what caused him to misspeak in the first place. He also misspoke saying that "US lives wasted" in Iraq. Why is he misspeaking so frequently?
4. Disorientation to time and place.
No evidence.
5. Poor or decreased judgment.
Voting against the tax cut showed his good judgment. His recent support for the same tax cut indicates huge decrease in judgment. And we're not even started on Iraq...
6. Problems with abstract thinking.
The jury is still out on this one.
7. Misplacing things.
An incident when McCain misplaced his feather caused a brief panic in the campaign.
8. Changes in mood or behavior.
McCain's mood swings are well documented.
9. Changes in personality.
We watched McCain changing from a "maverick" to someone dependent on Bush.
10. Loss of initiative.
No sign of this.
Out of 10 symptoms, McCain shows positive on 6. It's time for him to see a doctor. Let's show some support for McCain's health and urge him to see a doctor.
There’s no clear-cut line between normal changes and warning signs. It’s always a good idea to check with a doctor if a person’s level of function seems to be changing. The Alzheimer’s Association believes that it is critical for people diagnosed with dementia and their families to receive information, care and support as early as possible. (more)

McCain's ok. I worry about Obama:
Obama's profile:
1. Memory loss.
Obama does not remember working with Bill Ayers in Chicago, even though he was intimately involved with him in several bogus associations that blew their grant money on stupid and ineffectual community programs.
2. Difficulty performing familiar tasks.
Difficulty reading teleprompter has been documented. Without the teleprompter he has been shown to babble er, ah, um, doh etc.
3. Problems with language.
Occasionally speaks in tongues or appears to do so. Also requires almost continual usage of teleprompter to be understood.
4. Disorientation to time and place.
When on his European campaign gambit, he didn't know where he was much of the time.
5. Poor or decreased judgment.
His judgment is impaired. Just look at what he's promising if he's elected. Trillions of dollars in spending.
6. Problems with abstract thinking.
His abstract thinking is impaired and evident for all to see.
7. Misplacing things.
His misplaced ideas for what is good for America are well known.
8. Changes in mood or behavior.
We see his mood and behavior change when his teleprompter fails. Wahhhhhhhh.
9. Changes in personality.
He talks a lot about change. Change is his favorite word of the small vocabulary he seems to have. He chang... McCain's ok. I worry about Obama:

He talks a lot about change. Change is his favorite word of the small vocabulary he seems to have. He changes his personality to fit the crowd he is appearing before.
10. Loss of initiative.
As he becomes more and more known for his stupid ideas, he is losing some of his steam. He's getting worn.

No. Alzheimer's disease is not a joke, this man doesn't qualify to be president
OBAMA OBAMA HE OUR MAN IF HE PUT GOD FIRST YES WE CAN...No. Alzheimer's disease is not a joke, this man doesn't qualify to be president
been there done it America shouldn't do it againUndecided
LOL GROW UP!Undecided
If you want to start making up new lies... these are weak. Sen. McCain is far from falling into the grip of Alzheimer.Now, if we want to talk about misspeaking and forgetting.... I will just ask one, and only one, question. In debate #1, who was Tom that Obama kept speaking to. Could he have forgotten McCain's name?.... and Obama is such a young man to have such early signs of Alzheimers.... don't you think?
No. Alzheimer's disease is not a joke, this man doesn't qualify to be president
Actually, Alzheimer's can only be proved by AUTOPSY( can I watch?)!!! The easiest diagnosis would be dementia. It still wouldn't stop the republicant's from voting for him; remember Ronnie Raygun making speeches about his "military record" during WWII? He was quoting movies he made because he was 4-F and never served.Undecided
However after having voted for Reagan for his second term I am reluctant to take chances again. I don't think McCain has Alzheimer's disease I just don't agree with him on the issues and I think that he has a bad temper.Yes. Alzheimer's can never be definitively diagnosed unless by biopsy.
Some of your "symptoms" are entirely relient on it being a liberal that's diagnosing him. I'll give him a 3/10.Undecided
I'm not really undecided, John is just fine.. You might want to worry about Obama, he is the one that can waste time with all his, Uh Ummm, let me see he uses more ummm and uhhh than a law allows...I can fill up this whole poll with actual examples on Obaba....

Smear, smear. McCain is fine and has great genes from is mother who is in mid 90s and fine. Biden says Roosevelt spoke on television to people at the time of the Depression. Roosevelt was not President then and television was not used for fireside chats. Is he senile or just stupid? Senator Obama smokes and could have lung cancer tomorrow and be out of it. Age is not the only determinant of health.McCain was exposed to Agent Orange. His mother, because she's a Caucasion female, from birth, already had a head start on longevity. As far I know, she has not been tortured, nor exposed to any life threating toxic agents. He may have inherited her genes, but perhaps not. With all of those things different from his mother, she has always had the advantage. One never knows, of course.
I really don't know if his father was addicted to anything, but he was killed in a car accident in Kenya when Obama was in his early teens.

Similiar results would come from the other candidate. And he's young! LOL!No. Alzheimer's disease is not a joke, this man doesn't qualify to be president
i am afraid that he might die during his term if he is elected president of the united states of americaNo. Alzheimer's disease is not a joke, this man doesn't qualify to be president
he might forget what that red button on his desk that reads "nuke the world" is all about.Undecided
i thought the same thing about obama and his speech pattern. turns out obama cannot speak without the teleprompter, or unless he is repeating lines he has learned. here he is, a harvard man, taking three days, three whole days, to bone up on foreign policy, when he has been in politics since the early nineties (when he couldn't make it as a lawyer). i truly remember asking people about his speach pattern.On the other hand, when McCain is asked a question, he is crisp and straightforward - not relying on a teleprompter or on people channeling messages into his ears. or 'tweaking' what a previous competitor said. But if you have definitive irrefutable information that McCain has the disease, lemme know
Obama was the first man of color to be editor of The Harvard Law Journal. He also taught college courses at University. He does not always use a teleprompter. Where did you get that from? McCain didn't know how to say a Pakastinian name. He thought we were enemies of Spain, for heaven's sake. Did you not hear those gaffes?
McCain may not have the disease of Alzheimer's, but he should have done better at the debate since foreign policy is his best subject. By what you have written, I know you don't care about whether these things you say are the truth or not. But, if you ever get curious, go to Swopes.com factcheck
he took a job as a "part time" law professor, called an adjunct professor. that job is like the night shift grind at a mc donalds - no benefits, no tenure. he hooked up with a felon named rezko who financed his way into chicago politics.
there is footage of him unable to speak when the teleprompter is not working. he takes it on the road, even to address people at the rodeo! he either has to memorize his lines or have a teleprompter. he falls apart if he is asked a question he hasn't spent three days prepping for, and he gets angry at the drop of a hat.
From the way you speak, Bar, without digging deeper for more information, you would make an easy mark for THE ultimate con-man... check things out for yourself, so you could make a more informed decision
Even though Obama has "pumped up his resume" with the positions of which you speak... it is still an empty resume... certainly as far as being qualified for POTUS...
If you know him personally, or have worked intimately with him in/on some business venture, then I will listen. I don't have any of these advantages, so I will leave you to your shared experiences since you know of what you speak. In the event you do not, then you can say what you will, believe what you will. That's a fact, only what does what you say in such a negative tone about him accomplish?
No skin off my chin if you know what information you're privy to. What you've missed is that we have a bungling fool in the Oval Office, and we have had no great President in quite some time. If there is someone willing to try getting our country back on course, I am all for it.
