He made the assumption that he didnt know who Fannie/Freddie Mac was. His facial expression was sour.

2. My jaw dropped when gramps said that. Unbelievable!
But the AA guy, to me, was laughing, like, you're an asshole. I'm so glad you caught that, thought it was my mind spinning too hard against gramps. Did you catch the non handshake? Unbelievable. "That one." Unbelievable.

4. And then he called him "Allan," which was the name of the old white guy
who asked the previous question.

Top shelf, Gramps. :thumbsup:

6. You can also see him
When McCain makes his "that one" comment the same questioner can be seen behind Obama. Either he took issue with the comment or he was really bored based on his reaction.

7. I thought that was pretty condescending
It would have been amusing if the young man had said something to the effect of , "Well to be honest Senator, I'm a professor of economics at the University of Tennessee"

Assuming that people are ignorant is the height of arrogance.
