Tonight’s debate did show John McCain trying to fight back more, but honestly, the snorts and crazy-old-man facial expressions, and rolled eyes made him look even less presidential than before. Obama continued to maintain cool, calm and collected, in command of the subject matter, and able to own McCain, successfully parrying even McCain’s strongest attacks.
McCain’s eye roll at Obama’s explanation for why he doesn’t support the Colombian trade agreement continues the example of his contempt he shows toward his opponent.
Another example of McCain’s contempt. He’s “proud of the people who come to [his] rallies.” And while that is good, that means he’s also proud of the people who threaten violence and throw racial epithets? Yes, he has “rebuked” his audience recently, but he certainly hasn’t repudiated Sarah Palin’s comments.
Here we see McCain not knowing his opponent’s plan that he had just trashed. The deer in the headlights look on his face is pretty funny.
And hey, I bet with all the free publicity Joe the Plumber is getting tonight, he’ll be able to buy that business after all!
But these clips are the perfect example of why Barack Obama is the right candidate for the troubles that face us: he’s calm, knowledgeable, seeks justice, and clearly cares about the people of the United States. John McCain looked angry and old, and out of touch. The creepy eye rolling and other scary facial expressions only show his contempt for the process, and by extension, the American people.
