I don't think McCain did since he doesn't know how to use a computer and I doubt he even knows what Wikipedia is. Although his staff is most likely responsible. I doubt McCain writes anything on his own.

John McCain's foreign policy adviser, Wikipedia?

[barackobama4prez]

He's the absolute WORSE candidate the repugs have nominated....in ...god knows...forever?

[abigail1]

well at least someone in his campaign knows how to use the internet.

[poropo]

this guy cant do anything of his own. only to fight iran and iraq is his basic stand.

[IslandGyal]

Who cares; the MSM certainly doesn't; the republicans certainly don't and the we know the right wing nutcases could care less, other than getting a "christian" elected; god forbade, people in secular America should have any other religion.

[Shelly1970]

If this guy is elected, I am seriously going to consider giving up on American politics. This is just sickening.

[barackobama4prez]

[mccabe49]

If McCain is elected I am seriously considering the Peace Corp. May be time to get the hell out of what used to be the good ole USA

[FdeBear]

Be sure to watch your back.

[Biracial1]

Yes, how Presidential of him. Whatever will Joe S c u m b o r o u g h and Lou R e d n e ck Dobbs think of this? Oh, I forgot.. McMan will get yet another pass.

[MizLiz]

[PuppaX]

Of course he didn't.

One of his aides did.

Mccain/Cheney 08

[CindyM2008]

I think the person that typed out his speech knows how to use a computer.

[proudloudlib]

"Mccain/Cheney 08"

Scariest thought EVER!

[SouthFloridaDem]

Just shows the level of speechwriters/researchers he has if they trust the wiki to have accurate information. Also might explain why this candidate has problems being factual.

[allonfla]

give the guy a break

[IraqiFreedomVeteran03]

He gets no break if he is running for POTUS. The same goes for O bama. They're not running for Class President.

[TGCNY]

[Crake]

Are you f-ing kidding me?! Obama goes on vacation to Hawaii and he gets criticized for not going to a more 'American' location!

[mccabe49]

[mccabe49]
