Anyone notice that McCain turned his back to Oliver Clark when he asked his question?


I know that McCain wandered around while he spoke. But he usually looked at the questioner during the question and even shook hands with one of them. It's quite a contrast in McCain's demeanor comparing his response to the former Navy Chief Petty Officer and Oliver Clark. In this pic, Obama is very attentive although he's not about to speak. However, McCain turns his back. Is this a subconscious defensive mechanism in antipation of a question he fears he won't like, considering the questioner? Or am I being unfair?

1. McCain is incapable of connecting with another human being
He was despicable last night - arrogant and condescending.

3. Then called him "Alan", too
He really looked like an angry old guy to me last night. Just trying to hold it together.

7. I thought McCain was talking down to Mr. Clark....
...and not showing much respect. Not only the body language, but saying that he probably did not know about Fannie and Freddie. Very insulting to me.

It seems to be that whatever it is inside McAsshole that dislikes blacks, sure was on parade last night with that member of the audience.

JMHO

8. He did the same when a black woman asked him a question....
didn't say her name or look at her. He just turned around and walked the other direction.
