Up to now, I haven’t really bought into the theory that some have been pushing about McCain being confused. Obviously, I don’t agree with him on many important issues, but I have chalked that up to him being on the other side of the aisle from me. However, this morning he had another one of those “confused” moments on ABC’s Good Morning America and now I’m really starting to get concerned that this pattern of forgetting important moments could really hurt his ability to serve as POTUS.

McCain has clearly stated that he is not an expert on the economy. I’ve heard it many times, you’ve heard it, we’ve all heard it. It’s on video…it’s clearly in the public record. However, McCain has either erased it from his memory, lost it from his memory, or he has decided to just outright fib about past statements he has made. I watched this clip live this morning and I was utterly shocked when he pushed back as he did.

Is John McCain not telling the truth or is he really confused about on the record statements he has made?

UPDATE: MSNBC’s First Read has more.

John McCain doesn’t really understand foreign policy at all. He thinks having an American troop presence in Iraq for 100, 1000, or even 1,000,000 years is a good idea. Well, it ain’t. The now famous video of McCain stating that he wouldn’t mind having troops in Iraq for 100 years now has a friend. A **new video** of McCain from an appearance on Good Morning America has turned up where he said we should be in Iraq for one million years. He just doesn’t get it.
