5. You can almost hear Obama thinking...

"Dude, John, I'm over *here* man. Look this way."

7. Talking Point - Can't even look his opponent in the eye in a controlled setting

How on earth can this man negotiate or bring any diplomacy to the globe?

[KittyWampus]

9. excellent talking point. THANKS!

[RoccoR5955]

8. maybe the 5k McAncient spent on makeup...

...included botox, and his face froze up!

[WHAT]

34. I kept thinking he couldn't rotate his neck...

it engrossed me more than the debate...to see if he could turn his neck left. I thought "Oh no, what if those health issues are real!".

I know he's stiff, but can he not move his neck? or is that a real reaction to real discussion...to freeze?

[gblady]

11. here's another great....

eye contact picture.....

[speedoo]

14. That's great. nt

[Muttocracy]

18. yep - only 45 degree turn to see obama but wouldn't do it. nt

[speedoo]

12. Fantastic. That's the debate, right there. nt

13. This is SO gonna hurt McCain

The remaining "undecideds" are looking for a heuristic to help them make up their minds, and that often boils down to a perception about a candidate's personality. If they think a guy is an asshole, they ain't going to vote for him. I truly hope McCain keeps pulling this sort of rude, arrogant, disrespectful crap.

[krkaufman]

40. And tonight's "asshole" moment for McCain needs to be correlated ...

... with a larger narrative of McCain's bellicosity: temperament concerns from his fellow Senators; McCain's refusal to even meet w/ the leader of Spain, a NATO ally; "bomb, bomb Iran"; etc.

McCain doesn't have the temperament necessary to represent the US on the global stage, the diplomatic skills we need to help repair our frayed alliances around the world.

[sunnybrook]

15. this may sound stupid but

does anyone think this could have anything to do with that problem with his drooping eye that we think he ha steroids for? Possible?

[calmblueocean]

32. I fully expect them to say that it's a health problem.

Then someone is going to go through all McCain's previous debates, and see if that excuse is consistent.

[WHAT]

35. I also have stupid thoughts...

about swollen face?/lymph. I guess I go for some physical explanation because the behavior seemed too outrageous to be natural.

[Kber]

41. I'm expecting them to say that it's a result of injuries he received as a POW

Make's it impossible to learn to e-mail and look people in the eye.

O

[crankychatter]

16. gettin' dissed like that makes me wanna slap a MF

sorry

[vanderBeth]

17. He thinks Obama is below him and is like code for "uppity"

[Muttocracy]

21. kick - add more photos if you come across them. nt

[HughMoran]

22. McCain was a fucking dick tonight

Obama needs to exploit this flaw next time.

[RollWithIt]

23. Not sure if you noticed, but I'm over here and you sir, are FUCKED.....

Owned.

[Raschel]

37. McCain's so old he's acting like a child

he thinks if he ignores Obama that his Obama problem will just go away.

[Muttocracy]

24. more good photos on this thread:

25. Give the guy a break! He was concentrating on not blinking!

(If you don't understand the reference, you'll find it here.

26. The one time Obama looked away

[bdamomma]

27. mc cain was rude. and rude old white man, sorry I had to say it.

[BlueIdaho]

28. Denial...

"I refuse to accept reality and am now substituting my own..."

[Norrin Radd]

29. They'll spin it that he can't turn his head or torso because he was a POW.

[calmblueocean]

33. I'm sure they'll try. They'll probably wheel McCain upright to the next debate, like Hannibal Lecter

just to show he can't look at anyone else or move.

[Norrin Radd]

36. LOL

[Bryn]

38. Very Very Funny

You're on the roll! :headbang:

[Raschel]

39. The one thing he can still do is run for president

How is that? He can't do squat because he was a POW but he can run for President? Get out of the kitchen!!

[Bryn]

30. Maybe Lipstick Palin was actually there and

he couldn't keep his eyes off her
