McCain is 72, 3 years older than Reagan when sworn in, and a medical mess. He will be 80 if he serves 2 terms, and incumbents never step down.
The records of Sen. McCain at the Mayo Clinic show:
Cancer (melanomas on his left face( Stage 2 melanoma, removing more than 30 lymph nodes), his left arm and his nose); dizziness that was diagnosed as vertigo; blood in the urine, caused by an enlarge prostate and bladder/kidney stones; high cholesterol; chronic pain in his shoulder, hand and knee joints diagnosed as degenerative arthritis; evidence of polyps and diverticulosis in the colon.
The cancer diagnosis has surfaced 4 times, 4 operations and will likely reoccur.. Has pain in his shoulders and knee, and takes sedatives that may cause disorientation. Has high-frequency hearing loss in both ears, sporadic memory loss, edema( swelling) and blood in the urine. Thyroid palpable node discovered and being watched. Smoked 2 packs of cigarettes a day for 25 years before stopping in 1980. Has psychological, temper and mood swings due to military and prolonged imprisonment and isolation under stressful conditions that have left psychological impact.
“I have a temper, to state the obvious, which I have tried to control with varying degrees of success because it does not always serve my interest or the public’s.“ - John McCain
These last 2 weeks with the economic crises, McCain has shown a lot of disorientation and confusion, and his selection of Sarah was weird, also wanting to stay in Iraq to redeem Vietnam. Last night he was wandering, repetitious, and distant.
Worldwide market crises, McCain is talking about Obama is a terrorist, hangs with terrorists in 1960, 50 years ago. What? Sanity check here.
This needs to be addressed.
