John McCain's Demeanor Deficit Against Barack Obama in the Debate
Reader Comments
Demeanor Deficit
Was that a typo? Did you mean:
Da Meaner deficit? McCain does appear to be a whiner and mean-spirited. He pretends that only he is a patriot and all who disagree with him are communists. I wondered what happened to the other McMean, Joe McCarthy. Those are big shoes to fill, but McCain is doing the job.
As for "ted of MA" (I'm fairly sure you are not Ted Kennedy!) That was the most remarkable mis-statement of regurgitated McCain/Palin vomit I have heard to date. It's like you took every vile thing ever said, chewed it up and spit it back out. Brilliant! It does speak to your ability to remember vitriol.
I adore Obama
I am an Ethiopian. My name is Zena. I know that America's case is not my primary agenda. But I also know that your case can have an effect on us, too. That's is why I think Obama is the answer for America's as well as the worlds problem.
what else do u want?
I guess he should call McCain "that one" when he disagrees instead of smiling.
"election"
I'm pretty sure there was a point to that long, drawn out liteny of words; however, I never figured out what it was. Do you support Obama or McCain? Please re read what you wrote and notice; the few left out or mispelled words change the dynamics of the sentence therfor changing the context.
biggest snob since kerry?
That statement leads the reader to believe that there have been several contenders for presidency "since Kerry." For the record, there hasn't. Hopefully, the 14 in that name was the writers age and she cannot vote. It is incredibly unfortunate that ignorance is not a reason to be "ruled out" as a voter.
election
McCain cannot win. The economic shift has pushed, despite the Dems & then Obama not picking Hillary, the election to a conventional brand election where a Dem candidate will outrun an incumbent GOP Presidential candidate. Conventional - and the Dem just has to ride the wave. Pre-market crash McCain was ahead for reasons to do with McCain and Obama - experience and passion for example. Post-crash practically any Dem would beat practically any GOP candidate: Biden would wipe even Romney. And Obama's lack of passion and animation have become calming in a financial storm ... no tempermental ripples wanted.
There are concerns about Obama and no-one has asked pointed questions
First, his spiritual advisor was, for twenty years, Rev Wright, who seems at least anti-American, and a black radical. "Mr Obama when did you first disgree with Rev Wright and his agenda, if you did, and what were the issues and did you bring these concerns to him and what was the outcome. Name four."
Second, his first significant job was with a domestic terrorist politicizing education - Ayers. "Mr Obama when did you first disgree with Ayers and his agenda, if you did, and what were the issues and did you bring these concerns to him and what was the outcome. Name four." "Mr Obama if McCain associated with and ex-abortion clinic bomber how do you imaging the press would handle him? Would he even had become nominated??"
Third, his first big campaign organizer was Rezko now a convicted felon who bought a block of land next door to Obama (on a residence with a sweetheart deal) and then sold back to hime. And Rezko he is about to “spill the beans” .. whatever that means. "Mr Obama, Rezko had problems when you did the land deal with him and you said it was 'boneheaded'. When did you first find out about Rezko's crooked dealings and did you bring them to him?"
Fourth, his political outreach - ACORN - whom his campaign has given $800,000 to and for who he been general counsel and given voluntary trainings (whatever that means), is now under investigation by the FBI in over 10 states. "Mr Obama when did you first deal with ACORN, find out about their fraudulent activites and did you bring these concerns to them and what was the outcome."
The time has past for McCain to ask these questions. They say something about judgement, ambition and how you can get away with saying “I didn’t know” persistently in an even voice - his Harvard training has done him well.
The bottom line: people care more about the economy than whether Obama has demonstrably bad judgement or not.
Both of them have poor, unconvincing economic plans with Obama not picking up Hillary’s foreclosure plan - a plan he denounced before.
The outcome: President Obama, an extended depression, a President Obama unable to hold off a liberal tax and spend big government wing and the rest of the world happy to have a minority, well-spoken silvertongued US President. At least that will be a positiv
At least Obama has a brain
He may be slightly arrogant, but he is smart and, I believe, better equipped to make an attempt at running this country than McCain. I just hope he wins. He really seems to care.
McCain vs Obama
In my opion I think McCain is childish and very petty, he keeps harping about who said what and who didn't apologize. while Obama wanted to addres more important issues that bugs the nation. I don't think it's fair to Judge someone because they were in the company of someone else. having a friend doesn't mean you agree with everthing your friend does.
No Third Term for Lies from McGrimace/Bush
McGrimace's demeanor would be a disaster for the economy and the country as a whole if we had to endure seeing this snide grimace staring back at the country after this horrible election he's run.
Funny how the ghoulish portraits from cover photos of Mccain were absolutely accurate in capturing his essence.
