Comments on: Is 72 Too Old To Be President?

John McCain Would Be Nation's Oldest President; Some Voters Uneasy

[pvperson]

GOP_forever , Obama may change his race leanings as often as he wants, but McCain will NEVER shed a day from his age.

YES IT IS

[pleaseread]

Yes, way too old. Take a look at this U of M study:

"One in seven Americans over the age of 70 suffers from dementia, according to the first known nationally representative, population-based study to include men and women from all regions of the country.

About 3.4 million people, or 13.9 percent of the population age 71 and older, have some form of dementia, the study found. As expected, the prevalence of dementia increased dramatically with age, from five percent of those aged 71 to 79 to 37.4 percent of those age 90 and older."

Plus, he no doubt has that old man smell, yuck.

Today the USA continues to suffer from the failed policies of the best friend al-Queda and Iran ever had: Ronald Reagan, who was too old to use good judgement. John McCain would be much worse, because suffers from PTSD.

Yes. 72 is too old to be President.

Chuck Norris, Huckabee''s side kick thinks it is...and he did the math too. McCain would be 80 by the end of a second term. He''ll be in diapers by then.

In a word...YES. And let''s remember, that his first term STARTS at age 72 (and he looks it). He would be 76 before completing his first four years. This is going to work solidly against him. The side-by-side comparison with Obama is almost startling and he can''t possibly win this election.

Just keep him on soft foods and five naps a day and he should do fine. Try not to startle him with any sudden loud noises either.

And be sure to change his Depends before he meets any other world leader. No need to expose them to the stink.

Is 72 Too Old To Be President?



YES! Out of touch - with a modern & changing world.

[sgtrds10-4]

It''s not his age, it''s his obvious senility.

[six-six-seis]

If youre, Methuselah, youre just hitting the teenage years.

AMNESTY-JOHN too old? Absolutely!

One can hope he will select an outstanding VP, like Romney, who can serve a full 8 years.

Incredibly, in spite of this, the senile, ill-tempered, war-monger remains - by far - the BETTER candidate for president in 08. The alternative Kerry-like shallow, arrogant, platitude-spouting, inexperienced, elitist, flip-flopping gas-bag - who is so mentally deficient from extensive drug use he even has to plagiarize his hollow platitudes - is clearly much worse.
