C-SPAN Interview with Roberta McCain

[Hemouth]

she is 99 jesus fucking christ excellent genes

[quezcatol]

@Hemouth when my mothers grandma was 98 she couldnt move and not talk...

[harj2009]

damn she was a rebel

in dem days people were like that ? shit what we talking about ? 1800s ?

[ua1001]

McCain's mother is alive??!!!

Holy Fuck!

[Crazi3DancingBrother]

she didnt really care when she heard her son died... she seems pretty heartless. I don't care whats going on... when ur son died u should be devastated.

[ereyes28]

you know, it doesnt mean that she didnt shed a tear for her son, it takes a very strong person to accept death the way she did. when my mOM passed, i accepted her death and was able to heal in a healthy timely manner, my sister who refused to accept it is now on prozac because of depressing and its ruining her life, its been 3yrs since her passing. it seems cold, but really, its just accepting a reality.

[UntainedOne]

I think she had a bigger chance of being elected at her age than her son.

My word, remarcable woman!

[ffairlane57]

She's another damn liberal traitor, just like Colin Powwell, Arlen Specter, Charlie Crist, Schwartzeneger, General Tommy Franks, Nancy Reagan, Gerald Ford, Scott McLellan...they're all as worthless and unpatriotic as Murtha, Pelosi and B.Hussein Obama...we Real Republicans® need to take back America before it becomes a socialist muslim controlled Sodom & Gomorrah dammit!

[7IBC]

Hey asshole, you better lock all the doors in your trailer, hold on tight to your gun & bible, and pray to your mormon god

I hope for the sake of this country, you're just kidding ffairlane57

Its people like you that are the reason the GOP is dying out. Republicans are becoming Independent or Democrat, and only the radicals wil be left on the right

And you are a radical.

I mean, Scott McClellean maybe, but Nancy Reagan and Gerald Ford? who the fuck do you think you are? Rush Limbaugh Jr?

[ereyes28]

hahahahaha you are so bitter! its odvious, WE democrats had to take the USA (not america, being that you have south america and central america) back, the BUSH administration really screwed us over!

[bsfrevolution]

Her poor son. The Illuminati rejected him twice. :(

[savemyplaylist]

hahahahahah!

[Gabihot]

Roberta McCain beautiful from the inside towards the outside...He must be very proud of his mother,as I am of mine another articulate, elegant and independent mind lady. And on fashion the Queen of England can take some advice from Roberta, smart to the end. God bless you.

[seamuszoe]

Lover her.

[jaj040]

She has to be the most coherent 96 year old person I have ever seen.

[ccwilki1]

i agree

[sauroborsi]

96 YEARS OLD!!!!...She seems younger....Roberta I want your genes!!!!!!!!!!

[JohnMcChange]

HOLY FUCKING SHIT SHES HOT AS HELL

[Luffyone]

You're disgusting.

[illmagnified]

She and her family CLEARLY comes from a long line of successes. Did you hear her just naming off these huge achievements and prestigious awards one after the other like they were nothing. Unreal. Also it she sounded like she belittled herself a little to much at certain times. She kept saying im not competent etc, but then again she knows shes 96- she knows in her life she has seen alot. My grandparents are both in there 90's and they hold themselves the same way.

[manonfire4christ]

God bless you and your son. Roberta.

Manonfire4christ

[564kg]

Why cant they talk about kidd chris and howard stern

[mnnole]

What a strong proud women. At her age, such a strong and powerfull and mind. I can only hope to have the intelligence she has and more so make it to that age.

[duyukid]

ask her about her role in the Titanic.

great movie.

[Sims2Titanic]

LMAO

[hpkassot]

we need to ask u about your role as a reject

[wrinkleypp]

funniest interview ever

[rigso321]

weird, she stays out of his life and he only uses her for politics, then she goes home. I can't imagine being like that with my mom, but i guess old people are weird. But i love, think she's great! 96 wow, i hope i make it there....

[Carnage546]

I know right :P

[GodzEqual]

this interviewer... theres just somethin wierd, its like they arent really together, 2 different places. He doesnt respond to anything she says, just keeps asking and asking. thats not good interviewing, you need to give soem feedback albeit little, to let the audience know they arent crazy.

[Ratacon2004]

WTF!How is MacCain and his mom the same age?

[philh37]

I think Charlie Gibson and some of the other dimwits in the media should ask Roberta McCain if John McCain is too old to be president?

[tzagreb]

Roberta McCain for president!

[austinboy91]

YAY I'd vote 4 her! Her son not so much...

[Lk0022]

she is very sharp....

[holidaysinthemoon]

mccain is definitely not my cup of tea.

but I LOVE HIS MOM! almost makes me wish my great-granny was still alive...

[LifeIsACookie9]

she's in good shape for 95 (96 now).

Keep going strong

[Xellios1]

she doesn't look a day under 200

[ErinRush9]

This is a great interview! Thanks Steve for giving Roberta room to do the talking!!

[bowowee]

The interviewer is boring.

[voicetube]

His hair is nice.

[auntnoah]

Now, this is who should be in the White House! Go Roberta!!! :)

[Politeama]

Beautiful lady, a great human being blessed with exceptional genes and an exceptional son. God Bless her and her family. Thank you for this great interview!

[Markobonv]

She's adorable. I like the way she says he will not hold a grudge, I like some of mine. I'm collecting a few.

[FreedomUSA1]

Amazing lady!

[golfballs03]

Roberta is a little firecracker. She ought to debate the democrats

[Carnage546]

If it was her vs all the democrats in the world she'd win...and probably have some time in between to bake some cookies ^-^ Granny's cookies > politics :D

[ereyes28]

you know she's a liberal right? i didnt watch this whole interview but on her interview with katie couric, she clearly states that she;s a liberal and that her and John mccain argue alot about their views.

i absolutely ADORE THIS LADY!!!

[ereyes28]

my bad, she is not a liberal. i heard it wrong =)

[yankee4321]

Damn shes pretty sharp for an old hag...she looks better than some people in their 70's...

[azerbach]

She's so cute and crazy.

And old.

[eibarra]

roberta McCain is half U.S. American and half mexican American.

[ripley450]

Grandma Hilton is no longer rolling in her grave, thanks to this fine woman.

Johnny Mac '08!

[cutielatino]

Im not a supporter of McCain but I find her delightful and beautiful shes featured in the Vogue ageless issue thats how I was introduced to her.

[lostsoul666666]

i find this mummy very interesting

[hhn1000]

For someone her age, she's doing very well in this interview.

[zerodeth]

The interviewer looks like Michael Mcdonald from MAD TV... no?

[blacklabelsk8erX]

Eh, I think more like Lindsay Graham.

[atlscribe]

Look at the picture in the back. Typical white racist, conservative elitist.

[sferb]

well that's bigoted speech, you could just as easily say "typical black slacker, socialist welfare cheat" stereotypes on both sides of the spectrum are wrong, since if you stereotype one side, you have to stereotype the other.

[brucefre]

hahah that bitch is so old

[undercover65]

Are you people mad ,thats not his mother ,its john mccain in a dress .. dont let him fool you again america look at her neck shes no apple..go help america

[undercover65]

has an apple sorry!

[ikekll]

KaoriBlue,

Of course, I can't say it's true. I don't remember where I got that quote from...I'm pressed for time at the moment and I promise to come back later and follo up. a quick google search got me this:

w w w . counterpunch . org / cockburn04192008 . html

If you search for it, there are pictures on the net of the memorial "statue" in NoVietnam of him...

bbl...

[ikekll]

'McCain believes Iraq war can be won by 2013"

Yahoo headlines May 15, 2008

[ikekll]

"North Vietnamese erected a monument to him in Hanoi. The Communist Vietnamese erected a bust of John McCain inside Vietnam. His defenders say that it is in tribute to the PAVN gunners that shot him down. When was the last time you visited a memorial to the American Military where there was a bust of the enemy?"

[KaoriBlue]

Wow, is that really true?

[ikekll]

KaoriBlue,

As I mentioned earlier, I can't say yes or no...it's an issue McCain hopefully might address. Here is a pic of the memorial. I'll put the link on my personal page (for a few days) If the link isn't working, check for extra spaces.

h t t p : // img140 . imageshack . us / img140 / 4433/ johnmccainmc4 . jpg

[ikekll]

KaoriBlue, the link to the image is on my homepage...and as I mentioned, I don't know if it's true or not. McCain might address the issue at some point before the election.

[Conservativesaregood]

They put that up because John Mccain was a model prisoner

[lees20022]

96 years young and going strong, physically and mentally.

[darwinx0101]

dear lord, she's like 400 year old! is this supposed to convince us that mccain is young?

think again.

[ripley450]

drive by media cover this gracious strong American woman, and her twin! What a concept

WALK FIVE MILES TO WORK!

go to the moon, not cause it's easy, because it's hard

liberal moonbats want it all, from their country. ASK NOT! get off the tit and progress

I'm very proud of the US after seeing this inspiring woman. No burkha for her EVER

[timm9]

We need more woman like that today! Pure Class!

[livehappy4ever]

if john mccain is like 72, HOW old is SHE????!! LOL gosh

[CheezInspector]

When I first saw her I thought she was McCain's wife.

[Hellaciousoutlaw]

but didnt bush say mccain was nuts from being a pow and sold out his country for a comfortable stay while being a pow

[ReganMM1981]

Don't think so. Who told you that?

[cbranalli]

Bush supports McCain! Need I say more? If you are happy with the status quo, vote McCain. He will keep us in this expensive war for 100 yrs, violate our civil liberties, torture us if we refuse the National ID, Tap our phones and internet etc! VOTE RON PAUL! ronpaul2008 dot com

charles ranalli

albuquerque

[lizardfirefighter110]

cbranalli,

You are right. I am voting for Ron Paul, even if I have to write him in! I refuse to pick from the corporate stooges!

breakthematrex

[fckuvrymch]

This is a trip.

She sure makes it seem sketchy.

I dont think she has any idea how corrupt the men in her family are.

Like she says, she doesnt talk to him much about his business, and I imagine it is the family way.

Seems a lot like the mafia family dynamic.

[Verified1]

I'm happy to hear what she has to say, but the sad thing about this is that the McCain campaign sent his aged mother out to speak so as to calm voter concerns about his ability to lead because of his age. McCain has pretty much said this when he answered a young person who asked him about his fitness for office. I feel sorry for the women in McCain's life. He seems to use them in a disrespectful way.

[tjlawson20]

Has it occurred to you that she WANTS to do it? Is Barack Hussein Obama using his daughters in a disrespectful way when he puts them in a commercial?

[Verified1]

Yes, tj, it actually did occur to me that his mother wanted to do this. I'd probably do the same if I were his mother. The point is that he's trying a bit too hard to say...I'm really not so old...see how old my mother is? He's trying to head off concerns that his age is a factor in the election. I believe it is. He's older than me & I think I'm too old to be president. If John Sidney McCain had his mother talk about senior issues, then the comparison to B H Obama's children would be accurate.

[tjlawson20]

John Adams was 61 years old when he took office 210 years ago. You were lucky to make it to 55 back then. Andrew Jackson was also 61 when he took office in 1829. There are some people who remain sharp as a tac well into there 70s 80s and 90s.

[Verified1]

Thanks tj for yr reply. When Adams COMPLETED HIS TERM in office he was still only 65 years old. McCain would be going on 72 on inauguration day. Sorry, there really are limits and I don't think he'd have the edge he'd need to make critical decisions. Reagan was bad enough.

I'm not saying McCain's perspective and insights gained over time would not be valuable in some capacity, but in my opinion he's simply too far up in years to take on the job of a modern president in 2009, much less in 1797.

[tjlawson20]

Well I don't agree with you on Reagan but you seem to miss my point about Adams and Jackson. 61 in those days was fucking ancient and they did ok. btw if you havent seen any of that John Adams mini series you should check it out

[Verified1]

Thx for yr reply tj. Actually I do know a bit abt Adams, Jackson & their presidencies, from extensive reading over the decades. My husband's 4th great-grandfather knew both of them personally. They were both fascinating characters & each took some positive, as well as some reprehensible, actions as president. If anything, 18th century Americans led a healthier existence than we do today, due to exercise & diet. Avg. life expect. was lower due to infectious disease; today we have antibiotics.

[ReganMM1981]

Keep drinking that Kool Aid. How did your husband's 4th great-grandfather know them?

[Verified1]

Never much cared for Kool Aid Regan, but thanks for being the six thousandth person to use that line. And re: your question on ancestry, for the sake of anonymity, I'll just say they were political associates. Adams didn't think much of him but Jackson had a lot of admiration for him. I'll let you do the research since you seem to like it so much. Hopefully it will give you practice in doing actual fact hunting - I believe you can use a little practice in that regard if you support McCain.:-)

[ReganMM1981]

So what exactly is the age limit in which you cannot allow your mother to be in your political ads without "trying a bit too hard to say...I'm really not so old...see how old my mother is?"

[Yimo93]

"

redheadfo847 " HAHAHAHA THATS THE BEST COMMENT EVER!!!!!

[RakeRocter]

her son, Johnny, eloped with the democrats.

[LucBaLady]

I love this woman she has so much spirit! I can't believe she's 95yrs old. I want to be like that when I reach her age.

[mrtoppe]

She should have taught her son to have more respect for other people's money and that voting against tax cuts is a bad idea.

She should have taught her son to have more respect for the U.S Constitution.

She should have taught her son more about economics.

[realvic87]

This woman kills me! I swear I would vote for her in a hot minute! Did you see her interview with Chris Matthews on MSNBC? She is a riot, funny, smart, and so on point! This lady does not mess arond.

[barbrinkchap]

This is a true American woman of the old school. My estimation of McCain has gone up after listening to her. (Although I am an Obama supporter.) Note that she is 96 years old!

[lordjadams]

This guy does a piss poor job of conducting an interview...he's so boring.

Anyway, I guess this sort of discounts McCain's age as an issue, ROFL.

[Calculon01]

"honey, sons don't want to hear too much advice from their mother"

ESPECIALLY when they are over 70 years old lol

[unigusgus]

hot.

[redheadfo847]

this lady is a andriod

[fidis]

obama's auntie looks nice.

[muffinmoody]

Roberta McCain seems like a lovely woman. I now have a higher regard for John McCain.

[muffinmoody]

Roberta McCain seems like a lovely woman. I now have a higher regard for John McCain.

[haimulli]

Mama McCain '08

I LOVE this lady :)

[Roddyreta]

I hope I'm this sharp when I'm 95.

[STU676]

I hope I'm this sharp when I'm 65 !

[newportlights]

Mama McCain seems like a really nice lady.
