******************My comments: *********************

Above is the biography of John McCain since all my other posts are mainly related to Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton.

I didn’t know that John McCain was that handsome and good-looking guy 30 years ago. He now looks old (of course) and depressed all the time. I am surprised that on one has ever mentioned this element about him before. I think John McCain does have more than enough experiences and abilities to be our leader of the United States. But I still have to search more information on him to get the fullest idea on him.
