After an economic speech Wednesday at the Truman Library and Museum in Independence, Missouri, John McCain had some trouble making his exit. Watch:

America, come Nov 4, we must unite to help this old man find the exit.
Symbolic, isn't it? I want to see his medical records.
jezzzz- Pappy walking in circles. That is what my dog does before he wets in the house.
Get Pappy some Flowmax for goddness sakes-
John McDizzy doesn't not have to say another thing, just watching him trying to exit the stage should be enough for any voter.
Too old to drive a bus.....to confused to find his way out of a closet.
Qualified to be President.....check.
I remember seeing Bush leaving the stage after a speech somewhere, and trying to open a set of huge doors that were either locked, or just there as a backdrop. Gosh, I'll almost miss his ineptitude.
It was in Beijing and he was trying to dodge the press.
T'was a closet, if I am not mistaken. LOL
In all fairness, that could happen to anyone. In isolation, this incident means nothing. However, it becomes noteworthy if there is a pattern of disorientation emerging.
The pattern is already there for all to see. The "getting lost" isn't nearly as bad as the facial spasm that preceded it.
Conservatives found someone worse than Bush.
They cannot wait to get him into office.
yes they love their presidents to be addlepated that way they are easier manipulated into signing disasterous economic policies and gutting sound energy/national security polices like the ones Carter implemented to get America energy independent
It is reminiscent of Bush in China. Remember the big red door? He is like Bush in more ways than we can imagine! Thinks he can find a way out of the mess we're in when he can't even find his way out of a room!
It5 is not an issue, it does not show ineptitude. But it is emblematic of his campaign.
He has trouble getting off the stage and getting out of the limelight and he has literally no idea where he's going.

Didn't this happen to GWB not too long ago? Must be a GOoPer thing.
I'm Obama all the way, but is this the best you have?
This is ridiculous. It means nothing! Nothing!
Stop wasting our time.
you are so right this should only get as much main stream media attention as the Obama's fist bump got nothing more nothing less
and in case McCain/Palin win in Nov. we can all be thankful that the Oval Office is, well, an oval---, and McCain would be okay because there won't be corners that he could get stuck in when he begins to wander.
republicans love their presidents to be addlepated better to control and have sign off on disasterous policies
Funny? This is sad.

If there are any Republicans out there who genuinely CARE about this man--including his wife and Sarah Palin--they need to get him to a doctor ASAP.
A dead John McCain can't serve his country in any capacity--and now is not the time for him to think he's not subject to the same laws of nature all of us our. My father died of congestive heart failure and had some mini-strokes also. But for goodness sakes--don't deny the man medical care because you want to get your party into office!
Rushing him to the doctor, while certainly a good idea, would hurt his campaign.
My guess is that most of the GOP doesn't care much for their disposible puppets.
McCain definitely has some sort of mental health issue, but in terms of McCain gaffes, this is nothing.
