Given the number of huge gaffes in the last few weeks (Talking about the Iraq-Pakistan border, completely muffing the timeline for the "surge," and not seeming to remember that there is no such thing as Czechoslovakia anymore) makes me question whther he's got all his faculties!. If elected, he would be even older the Reagan was, and by most all accounts, Reagon was showing a lot of symptoms of the early stages of Ahlziemers by his second term!.

Obama's getting my vote!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Perhaps McCain is "living in the past," a little too much!. I wonder if he knows that Burma is now named "Myanmar," or that the "Belgian Congo" is now "Zaire!."

It reminds me of something I read, in the 1950s, in John Gunther's book "Inside Africa!." Gunther mentioned that someone once suggested to Cecil Rhodes that, after he died, the names of Northern and Southern Rhodesia might be changed to other ones, such as "Zambia" or "Zimbabwe!."

According to Gunther, Rhodes replied, "They don't change the names of countries, do they!?"Www@QuestionHome@Com
