Naw...didn't like that one. Too many people had their hands on it.

The states...I saw tongue in cheek humor. But...I would have liked to have seen more of it.

Very informative wouldee, thanks!

In all honesty, AND to be fair...in the clip of Obama and the National Anthem, I DID see him sing; HOWEVER, it really was not good for him to not cover his heart with his right hand. That, in my opinion, was unpatriotic of him to do...

just for grins.......

LOL so true....

I listened to the interview. It was a GOOD interview for McCain. The interview was all about U.S. relations with Latin America with one question about Spain.

McCain handled it very well in my opinion he had something informed to say about each situation - not nuanced perhaps but in a radio interview covering several different countries at once in a few minutes how nuanced could you possibly get?

He answers every question without any gaffes. He is obviously addressing the radio commentator's Latin American audience.

He balks at committing to or discussing under what conditions he would meet with Zapatero until he reviews the situation - a cautious but prudent response.

Anyone who actually listens to the whole interview with an open mind will not find that it gives a negative impression of McCain quite the opposite in my opinion.

In fact, it has lowered my opinion of those who suggest that this is some kind of confusion on McCain's part since it clearly shows nothing of the sort.

Go ahead, listen to the interview...it's only a few minutes.

I did and he didnt know spain was in europe

Recently on other foreign issues, McCain seems ever more confused. He repeatedly mixed up Sunni and Shiite, he forgot that Iran is a Shiite country, he claimed Iran was training Sunni terrorists and hosted Al Qaida terrorists, and he was lucky to have Sen. Lieberman nearby to correct him during his recent embarrassing trip.

He called the Czech Republic "Czechoslovakia." He thought that Pakistan and Iraq share a common border and he said the Vladimir Putin was the current president of Germany. All of this in just the last three months. There are many more examples, even more frightening and dismaying.

While everyone is entitled to make mistakes, so many basic errors can indicate more serious cognitive problems, especially when many of his actions are becoming strange in other ways. What presidential candidate would offer his wife up for a topless contest at a biker convention, or sing "Bomb-bomb-bomb-Iran?"

On at least 5 occasions in the last two months, when asked an unexpected question, this dazed, "deer in the headlights" look crossed his face, and when he finally responded, his answers had nothing to do with the issues raised.

On major issues, (abortion, social security, taxes, Iran, Iraq, off-shore drilling, stem cells, just to mention a few) McCain either forgot his previous stances and changed his mind, or he is incapable of recalling positions he held dearly as recently as a year ago. McCain's problem is that he categorically denies ever changing his positions, even when he is shown video and news articles.

A growing group of conservatives, moderates, and medically educated are beginning to question his mental status, as similar disturbing events continue to occur.

oh c'mon! PLEASE

she asks him about a variety of Latin American issues, he answers her intelligibly, then she asks him if he'd meet Zapatero and he says - he'd have to review the situation first and when she presses him he says he would meet anyone who shared our common interests.

This was about as innocuous as it gets.



you must realize how foolish this claim is once people listen to the actual interview!! you're now making McCain look like a rocket scientist!



we'll have to rename this thread

"The Pain in Spain is Mainly in My Brain"

Senator John McCain’s radio interview this week, in which he could not distinguish Spain, or for that matter Europe itself from Latin America has set the international press ablaze:

The Guardian (London): calls it “painful” to listen to.
I dont think you read the original post please do so and get back to me

From this, much of the Spanish press has concluded that the Republican candidate, who hails himself as the experienced foreign policy choice in this election, confused Spain — a NATO member and key ally in the fight against terrorism — with one of those troublesome Latin American states. That was certainly the interviewer's impression, for she followed up with a gentle reminder that Spain was a country in Europe. As Spanish newspaper El País put it, "In the best-case scenario, [his answer] demonstrates his ignorance with respect to Zapatero."

Mccain owes america an alziemers test

My 70 y/o father said McCain has "Oldszeimers".

I forced myself to read the article again and i still dont see where McCain anything about Spain not being in Europe. We havnt had the greatest relations with spain. Its just a way you libs are putting words in someones mouth to try and make someone look bad and you will fail at it again.

So he doesn't know where Spain is? What do you expect, he never studied!

He graduated at the BOTTOM of his class.

His failure to study also nearly cost him his life.

On a training mission in 1958 McCain nearly paid the ultimate price ... for doing things his way.

He had an engine failure and crashed into the Corpus Christi bay, and he sunk to the bottom. He was sitting on the bottom in the aircraft, and he said, "You know, I remember there's some kind of a switch here somewhere that blows the canopy off the airplane, but I didn't read that book, and I don't know where the switch is, so I guess I'm dead."

McCain managed to wrench the canopy open and barely survived.

A near death experience. How do you think that changed him, if at all?

I don't think it changed him at all. John went back to the room, went to bed for about two hours, got up and said, "Let's go over to the club."

He will probably go to the club after he starts WW3

sad to say but if americans vote in Barack... they deserve him...

We need change. Enough is enough. McCain = 3 more terms of Bush policies. That would be sad.

you can see the future...please tell me the winning lotto numbers...for tonight!!!

mclame voted with bushes 90% of the time
nobama voted with his party 97% of the time....when he didn't vote "present"

Like I said, McCain will continue Bush policies - voted with Bush 90% of the time. It's time for a change. This country needs it. It's not about about seeing the future. It's not rocket science. It's common sense.

Is Obama the ideal candidate? Does he have a long record? No Maybe not, but he is intelligent, cautious, brave, measured, willing to listen and consult experts, self made and committed to taking on the task at hand.

On the other hand we have McCain. Yes he has a long record. Of contradiction, wild swings in position, an ugly temper, a record of acting before thinking, he is confused about geography, he cries out against special interests but has a campaign in which the majority of his staff come from special interest lobbies, he voted with Bush 90% of the time but says things are screwed up we need change, during the primaries he swore he would run a campaign based on issues without resorting to negative ads and then he runs ad after ad that are just that, he spoke out about celebrities and then pics an empty unproven cute chick creating a celebrity potential veep, he waves the flag and talks proudly about being a vet yet he has consistently voted against giving veterans the same kind of educational and medical benefits he received, he was part of the Keating five....the list goes on and on and on.

So, I am betting on the Obama and the system of checks and balances in this election. It's a better bet I think than McCain who has proven he will align with anyone, say anything and abandon any previously held principle in order to win the election.
