McCain jerk to Obama AGAIN
Obama Makes McCain Very Uncomfortable

Let the record reflect that Barack Obama made the approach to John McCain tonight.

As the two shared the Senate floor tonight for the first time since they won their party nominations, Obama stood chatting with Democrats on his side of the aisle, and McCain stood on the Republican side of the aisle.

So Obama crossed over into enemy territory.

He walked over to where McCain was chatting with Republican Sen. Mel Martinez of Florida and Independent Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman of Connecticut. And he stretched out his arm and offered his hand to McCain.

McCain shook it, but with a “go away” look that no one could miss. He tried his best not to even look at Obama.

Finally, with a tight smile, McCain managed a greeting: “Good to see you.”

Obama got the message. He shook hands with Martinez and Lieberman — both of whom greeted him more warmly — and quickly beat a retreat back to the Democratic side.

1. McCain is showing his total disdain towards Obama
or McCain is terrified out of his mind. too bad.

2. Good. It just make McCain look like an old sour-puss.....
who lacks dignity and manners, and is running to sate his own ego.

8. At this point I really would like to see McCain losing it during the third debate.
Can Obama manage it without losing his sympathy edge? :popcorn:

11. I think it was Robinson on Countdown that said it

McCain has to paint his opponents as enemies. Complete trench warfare mindset.
So any acknowlegment of his opponents existence or perhaps even humanity, irks him and messes with his world view.
Now transpose that to him sitting in the White House...

12. He's seeming more like Archie Bunker by the day.
Only it's not a sit-com, it's real.

13. Obama had "good home training" and it's just natural
for him to be decent.

Mc Cain must have been raised by Wild Wolves.

Oops ~ wild wolves would be nicer.

14. Just another example of why Obama is going to be such a great prez!
He has such grace and dignity and humility.
Even with the huge mess we are facing, I think he is going to be magnificent!
