Why did McCain sound so frail during his speech last night?

Question

Does he have pulmonary problems too?

Answer 1

He may have breathing problems, he was a heavy smoker when he was younger. When he was walking down to shake hands with people, he walked very stiffly. I thought he was going to fall down the steps. This campaign is really ageing him a lot.

Answer 2

He didn't look frail to me. When he was a POW he had both his arms and a leg fractured and it never healed right because his captors wouldn't get him the treatment he needed. That is why he can't raise him arms above his shoulders and walks a little stiff... But those scars are a testament to what he went through for his country.

What has Obama done? McCain might be limited physically but Obama is limited morally

Answer 3

McCain seemed very strong and robust last night! And all those who

think he sounded frail, are just jealous of him and his smart, strong,

young , conservative running mate, Sarah Palin!

McCain/Palin '08

Answer 4

This gentleman has some serious medical issues....recurrent cancers, and he's 72 years old with significant bone problems, to the extent that he can't raise his arms higher than shoulder level. He's collecting Disability.

And let's face it, his lungs are 72 years old as well, I wouldn't be surprised if he has some respiratory issues.  

Answer 5

Try being a POW for 5 years and see where your sanity goes.

Answer 6

It seems that all men as they get older, get wiser.we learn to speak from knowledge and speak directly. Besides, the lungs don't function as well at the upper end of age, and he has infirmities that happen to an aging person, so he is like me in that respect.What mold should a person fit so you will be happy?

Answer 7

Because his a** is old and he forgot to bring his oxygen mask.

Answer 8

u sound u have been a lib. all your life

Answer 9

Because he is frail, senile and out of touch!

Answer 10

He did not.  No he does not.  You are just a misinformed hater.

McCain has some problems because of the torture he went through as a POW.  

Answer 11

he didn't want to short circuit his pacemaker

Answer 12

I guess because you have peanut butter in your eyes, because he certainly didn't sound frail to me.

Answer 13

You didn't watch the same speech I did even Dems said they have to fight to win now!

Answer 14

Probably because he is. He's old, for one thing.

Answer 15

All that was missing in his speech was excitement.

Answer 16

He seemed fine to me.  So did his Mom.

Answer 17

He didn't.

You need better speakers for you TV. Try running an audio cable to your stereo.

Answer 18

Anyone who had to follow Palin's speech would look frail in comparison.

Answer 19

Maybe because he is weak

Answer 20

He did not.  You are imaging things because you are a hater.  McCain's mom is alive in her 90's, McCain will probably live through all 8 years of his presidency.

Answer 21

because he doesn't do lines of coke like Barry

Answer 22

The man is 72 years old!  He needs to be at home resting, or playing with his grandchildren, instead of chasing beauty queens and talking trash.  No way would I put this man in office.  Obama/Biden 2008!

Answer 23

I think he's on his last leg.  

Answer 24

He did not sound frail.  

He does not have pulmonary problems too

You are obviously just ranting because you hate the man.  

Why not try to promote the positive things about your guy instead of spreading misinformation and outright lies about the other guy?

Did you know even Obama said McCain has done a lot to be admired for.  That is classy.  Why not use that same class that Obama showed?  Just a thought.

Answer 25

Frail? Compared to who? Superman?

Answer 26

he is old...nuf said.

Answer 27

In the guys opinion, he isn't known as a great orator.   That is why he is known to talk "straight from the hip", b/c when he gives speeches or talks to the media- he just talks.  The gift of gab is not for everyone.

I am sick of listening to a President who is a terrible speaker and can't motivate or inspire the nation (Bush- I'm looking at you), so I am not voting for McCain.  

Answer 28

I think it's because he is older than the state of Alaska.
