John McCain speaks at the Lance Armstrong Foundation Summit 2008 Presidential Town Hall on Cancer

McCain makes joke that Obama is not here but speaking to a huge crowd in Europe; and that's just the press.

McCain reading everything he's saying.

Promises to make sure that the FDA and his staff will expand clinical trials in our country.

Claims all states are not using their anti tobacco funds as they are suppose to.

Under his plan tax credits will be issued for the purchase of Health Insurance.

Lance asking McCain questions.

What does Senator McCain do to stay fit?

Answer: hike, swim, light exercise. Campaigning is great exercise. Mentions a vacation home he does hikes around.

Zahn asks: As president would you support a federal tax on ciggerettes? McCain says no. He doesn't have confidence in congress to make sure its spent right. Mentions the 9 percent approval rate of congress. "congress is curupt". Says he doesn't want to raise taxes for anyone.

Lance asks: Should the FDA regulate tabacco? McCain anawes, Yes.

McCain goes on about us advertising in other countries about tabacco.

Zahn asks questions about curupt congress. McCain confirms he thinks current members are being bought and sold by tabacco companies.

McCain says he will increase funds given to the American Cancer Institute.
Zahn asks by how much, notes Obama said he would double. McCain says he would, "sixtuple it" by eliminating cork barrel projects that Obama is voting for. McCain backs up and says all he can says is he will increase it. He says he will eliminate projects such as studying the DNA of bears in Montana.

McCain vows to examine every agency of government and scrutinize them.

The Mic goes out and comes back on; McCain says, " this audio has been brought to you by the Democratic National Commitee." This guy is funny.

Meeting adjurned. Lance says Obama declined but does not get a "pass" and will give us the answers to these same questions soon.
Lance closes with:

The difference between a crowd and a community is that in a crowd everyone runs into each other and elbows each other to get ahead. In a community, people get together and conquer something together. We will become a cancer community this weekend.
