Is it an inferiority complex? Is it embarrassment? Is it guilt? (Tweety on McCan't refusal to look

[blonndee]

at Obama)

HA!

[willing dwarf]

1. I'd say it's fear

but it comes off as loathing.

Ultimately I'd say it's fear and loathing.

[pnwmom]

3. I think McCain was afraid that if he looked at Obama

he's forget what he was supposed to say.

[hlthe2b]

12. Insecurity and some sense of lingering guilt... He knew he was

lying and being very dishonorable--witness the constant blinking. Rove was unable to totally take away his conscience, unlike Bush* who never had one to begin with.

[bdamomma]

15. my husband said the same thing mc cain is scared.

[tridim]

2. Tweety should ask McCain why he can't look at Obama.

But alas, McCain doesn't talk to the press.

[blonndee]

Ha! After the break, Tweety still pressing this question!

Go Chris! I love this line of questioning.

[NotThisTime]

4. Complete Contempt

[ailsagirl]

9. yes. he was radiating with it. not very pretty

[TheDonkey]

5. I wouldn't mind if that meme got around!

[ailsagirl]

6. I took it as contempt-- and it reflected very badly on mcpain

[Clio the Leo]

7. He's still burning from the a** chewing he got yesterday at the WH. NT

[Flying Dream Blues]

16. yeah, I wonder if he was mad about Obama showing him up in the WH meeting. nt

[Clio the Leo]

19. I think that's precisely what it was. NT

[City Lights]

8. Contempt. I've heard lots of pundits say McNasty doesn't like Obama.

He couldn't hide it tonight.

Some asshole republicker on Hardball just said it's because he a rebel with a cause. :eyes:

[gravity]

10. I think it was to calm his temper

[WorseBeforeBetter]

11. Trying to make Obama seem like a non-entity?

Highly disrespectful.

[bdamomma]

22. very disrespectful

so if he treats obama that way, how does anyone expect him to be respectful to us. Angry ole man.

[WorseBeforeBetter]

23. Us and anyone on the world stage.

The Undecideds need to (FINALLY!) decide between the flaming asshole and class act Obama.

[Bluerthanblue]

13. I'd say it's more likely arrogance and intentional rudeness-

"he isn't worthy of my gaze" or an attempt to lead others to discount Obama subconsiously.

"la, la, la, you aren't here" :shrug:


I don't think it was very smart- or presidential- but my view of what constitutes a good leader and McCain's are poles apart.

He's a rude, sarcastic, sad old man.

[Fenris]

14. It wasn't just the lack of eye contact.

McCain spent all his time while Obama was responding smirking and chuckling. He looked like a complete dick.

People don't like assholes. McCain's going to have to figure that out. They don't care if you're "Miss Congeniality," but you can at least be respectful.

[tridim]

18. He was basically turning his back on Obama.

I'm glad the pundits are calling him on it. It's important.

[uponit7771]

17. Eugene Robinson : McCain willing to treat person like an enemy vs a worthy opponent.

[CK_John]

20. Professional courtesy to local branch of the KKK. IMO n/t

[Indi Guy]

21. McCain Can't Face the Future...

;)
