So my question is for those that will defend Obama gaffes, why are you so willing to call McCain out for his? Instead of attacking his age and showing a prejudice against someone in his 70's?
I find what McCain said in the OP quite disturbing and it is, to me, as bothersome as having a nominee say
we have 57 states and so on.
I just see the hypocrisy and it is quite laughable.

Well it seemed pretty clear to me Obama meant to say he had been to 47 states. This is a miss-speak and Obama would admit what he said was a mistake. However many of these things McCain has said he either sticks by them saying they are true, or admits they are false and then repeats them again later. (Saying Iran is training Al'Queda many times even after being corrected).
