Why Didn't McBastard Look Obama In The Eyes
Could it be because he didn't want to be photographed looking up to him?

1. That would be like an Inferiority complex, far as I know.
Any man secure with himself looks up when he has to.

That would be something you'd find in a 10 year old.

2. I'd say it's because looking at him would turn him red-faced with anger.
The man is a seathing cauldron of pent-up rage.

3. Someone on the NBS show this AM mentioned this. He stated that
McCain at the end of the debate was quick to shake Obama's hand and walk away quickly. McCain and his staff don't want any photos showing his stature and age next to Obama.

4. I've only seen snippets of the debate this morning,
but McCain's behavior was very odd,I'll bet the majority of watchers thought so too.

7. According to B.S. O'Lielly's "body language expert"
excessive blinking indicates a person lying ...

and the two clips I saw this morning, with John McCain trying to convince people that the person he has worked with in the Senate is "unfit", John McCain appeared to be trying to send out a long message in a short time using morse code ... but can you spell something in just dots?

18. Spell something dots? Yes, one can spell "EEEEEEEE!" or "SSSSSSSSSSSS!" with dots
He was either screaming inside - EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! - or was offering the sound of all the wind being sucked out of campaign as Obama beat the shit out of him - SSSSSSSSSSSSSsssssssssssssssssssssssssss.....

:rofl:

5. Funny check on Google
Lots of news stories on Friday morning analyzing how body language may determine the outcome of the debate.

But no news stories talking about it today.

11. It think it's because he was trying to keep his temper under control
His contempt and dislike of Obama, is real.

13. Obama was the Alpha dog.
a subordinate member of the pack never looks the leader directly in the eye.

16. My theory
He was advised not to by his handlers, lest he fly into a rage.
