John McCain: I Should Be In The Old Soldiers Home

As John McCain prepared to release his medical records in a very limited fashion, I found a clip back from back on 08/01/2000. In an interview with Jim Lehrer on News Hour and admits that he would be too old to run for President of the United States in 2008.


Lehrer: Finally for the record, you have not lost your desire to be President of the United States have you?

McCain: Certainly it’s been put in deep cold storage. haha..

Lehrer: You haven’t lost it?

McCain: Well, in 2004, I expect to be campaigning for the reelection of President George W. Bush, and by 2008, I think I might be ready to go down to the old soldiers home and await the cavalry charge there.

John McCain, his campaign handlers, and the GOP should not complain if McCain's age becomes an issue since the candidate made it an issue as far back as 2000 all by himself. Americans polled are sure worried about it anyway...
