Does McCain have the mental capacity to lead a country?
I watched the recent "60 Minutes" interviews with McCain and Obama.
McCain was specifically asked if he regretted his actions that pushed for financial de-regulation. His answer was that he didn't see that there was any relationship between the financial de-regulation he promoted and the current economic problems.He laid the problems at the foot of the current administration.
When we are very young, we learn about cause and effect in fundamental ways: fire = hot = don't touch. As we get older, our capacity to predict outcomes grows with our understanding of how things relate to one another.
If John McCain does not believe that there is any link between the financial de-regulation he promoted and the financial conundrum that is unfolding should cause everyone to wonder about the state of McCain's mental capacity to make decisions.
