On The Debates

[hkellick]

The more I see of McCain, the more I'm absolutely CERTAIN he would not make a good President.

First, there's his TOTAL lack of respect for Obama. Just looking at how he acts like Obama in the debates. First debate, he wouldn't shake hands, second, he wouldn't look.. this time.. it was clear he was trying to look in obama's direction (K and I both caught he wasn't looking AT Obama, just in his direction), but in his direction, and as the night wore on, the camera kept seeing him mugging, rolling his eyes, and getting more and more angry.

And if that wasn't enough, McCain would outright interrupt Obama.

This is a man who has no respect for the opposition. Am I to believe this man is going to be able to hold a respectful meaning with Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, because I don't see it.

And honestly, some of McCain's answers were.. weak. McCain tried calling Obama out on not supporting free trade with Columbia. Obama explains why (We couldn't guarantee worker safety) and McCain's response was "Well.. well.. he doesn't support free trade with Columbia." (I'm paraphrasing here. It was just... a weak answer.)

And then, dare I say, McCain blew it. He put his foot in his mouth not once but twice, but the biggest one being his mocking of Obama for being pro-choice in situations where the mother's health was at risk.

Oh, and John is PROUD of the people who've attended his rallies. All of them. He didn't distance himself from the nutjobs screaming "Kill Him!" Bad move, John. Very bad move.

So...

we'll see what the future 19 days brings.
But I'm calling it here and now.

I, for one, welcome President Barack Obama.

PS: This moderator was EXCELLENT. Better than ALL the others. I liked him, I liked his questions. They were GOOD questions.

Grandson of PS: You know, John, some psychologists say that excessively blinking is a sign that you might be lying.
