A quick thought on John McCain’s bad weekend… Let’s hope it’s a trend for McCain. Because John McCain doesn’t really know what Iraqi’s or American’s want. Barack Obama knows American’s want out of Iraq and he’s in Iraq scoping out the facts on the ground.

John McCain needs to get a grip. He’s either slipping a little or his mind is so filled with concern about his disorganized, constantly changing campaign that he can’t concentrate on the words coming out of his mouth.
Every day it seems, McCain drops out a comment that makes everyone stop for a moment in mid-stride, [...]

Today John McCain called Social Security “a disgrace,” and told reporters on his campaign bus:
“I’m receiving the benefits, the system is broken and, unfortunately, my children and grandchildren, according to the trustees of the Social Security system, will not have the same benefits the present retirees have.”
If it’s so broken, I can’t help but wonder [...]
