Heck, we could have Obama take it also, to not show any bias, as Alzheimer's can rear its ugly head at a much earlier age. I know that my father, who is 75, would be too tired to be President.McCain Owes America An Alzheimer's TestWhile Ted Kennedy and Michelle Obama were rocking the Democratic convention in Denver, John McCain made his 13th appearance with Jay Leno to joke about his age.But McCain's age is no joke. He will turn 72 on Friday and would be halfway to 73 if elected and sworn in on January 20. That would make him the oldest first-term President ever, two years older than Ronald Reagan. He has survived four skin cancers (melanomas), including one in 2000 that was classified as Stage IIa.McCain is two years older than his father was when he died suddenly of a heart attack at 70. He is 11 years older than his grandfather was when he died suddenly of a heart attack at age 61.The United States cannot afford the risk that McCain would die suddenly in the middle of an international crisis.Nor can we afford the risk of dementia. 22% of Americans over 70 are affected by mild cognitive impairment, while 13% of Americans over 65 have Alzheimer's. Ronald Reagan was diagnosed with Alzheimer's at age 83, but early signs were evident during his first term. Britain's "Iron Lady" Margaret Thatcher developed dementia at age 75.McCain has never had an Alzheimer's test, even though he has 6 of the 10 warning signs , including his inability to remember recent facts like the number of homes he owns, the $1M lawsuit he filed in 1990, or the U.S. invasion of Iraq in 2003.John McCain owes America a thorough test for Alzheimer's and cognitive impairment long before Election Day.Sign our petition to the Corporate Media:http://www.democrats.com/mccain-owes-america-an-alzheim...
There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site

Cool, can we start one to have that f'n idiot Barack take a geography test?
les'see.....Nancy Pelosi, the woman they want to impeach her way to the presidency on January 20th, will be 69 two months later. Pelosi has been having poison injected in her forehead, which is only inches away from her brain, for years and years.
