According to Obama at least.
Worst thing is I just bought the flag a few weeks ago.
Actually, I do buy the defense that he’s just tired from campaigning.
Of course, had this been a Republican candidate, it would be all over CNN. “McCain is too old to be President,” the talking heads will say. They’ll blather on and on about fictional scenarios where he’ll call the head of state of some third world country the wrong name or something and start a war.
But since this happened to the anointed one Obama, the powers in media will pronounce this a “non-event” and “he has put this behind him” just like the Pastorgate mess.

Um, he was joking. Don’t be dense.

Dense? What part of “I buy he was tired…” don’t you get?
My point was entirely based on if McCain made that same comment at the exact same time, the (85%+ liberal democratic voting media) would run the story for weeks about how he’s too old for the job, etc.
