My wife is a Japanese immigrant; she doesn't follow politics...she's watching the debate replay now

[Godhumor]

Her first comment? "McCain's not looking at him at all. He's rude. Does he not like being on stage with a black person?"

Keep in mind, I'm not saying McCain is racist or anything like that, but it is my wife's first reaction to the body language.

Yes, I gave my wife a hug and a kiss after she said that comment. :)

1. I never met her ... but I love your wife!

:hi:

3. She just followed up with, "Is that Alaskan woman going to talk soon? That's going to be funny."

I'm actually surprised at how into this debate she is getting--she's never shown this level of interest before.

9. I love her too!

Give her a hug from me!

12. One more follow-up (She's amusing me greatly): "Aren't you supposed to at least pretend to be nice?"

And no, I absolutely swear I'm not leading her on to any of these answers--she's just horrified by how he's acting.

2. I thought so too but Eugene Robinson (WaPo) made he point that McSame is too willing to treat his...

...opponent like an enemy and gets emotions into it vs treating the person like a worthy adversary

7. Well, we've already been told what a loose cannon this guy is

What kind of negotiator would he make?

11. Saw that. i think he's right on point.

I would add that John McCain, unlike Obama, lacks the ability to laugh at himself which probably contributes to him taking some of these slams so personally.

4. Your wife's perseptive! nt

[Jennicut]

5. Anyone could see he was rude even someone who does not follow politics.

Thanks for your report!

6. Tell her it isn't racial......McCain just has a bad case of Obama envy.....

and if McCain looks at Obama, it will remind him that he cannot be Obama....ever!

10. Wow, my jaw just dropped for a moment! I think this will backfire BAD
