I'll forever remember these debates for McCain not looking Obama in the eye

[Tribetime]

No matter what happens nothing could stand out more to me than the disrespect McCain gave to Obama last night. We don't need another 4 yrs of arrogance.

1. That's what stands out to me, too. It's extraordinary how insulting he was.

I keep waiting to hear the media really call McCain out on that front. I haven't heard the McCain camp give any explanation for his conduct. Disgraceful.

2. I wonder if that was an advisor's idea or if he is just a complete a-hole?...n/t

3. Maybe it was not disrespect

Maybe - he could not look him in the eye because he is afraid of him, and everything that he represents. Obama is going to be a major game changer in the political world - globally. MCCain has been at it for 26 years and is a dinosaur - he sees the writing on the wall - his era is over. And ashamedly so - not with pride.

5. Liars have trouble looking people in the eye. I think that is part of

why he didn't look at him. I think it was also partly because McCain has an inflated sense of his own importance and has a condescending attitude toward Obama.

4. Obama has earned more respect than McCain, IMO.

He didn't have a rich Admiral daddy who bought his way through schools. He didn't dump his disabled wife for a rich beer heiress. He didn't fuck over America and create Pigs at the Trow, part I back in the '80's.

Obama earned everything he has with the sweat of his own brow. He is a man who has carries himself with dignity, and who possesses a great deal of Honor. How dare McCain presume to treat him like that! I really do hate that man.
