Obama's little debate trick

Monday September 29, 2008

Categories: Politics

According to this report Obama called McCain, "John" to needle him into losing his temper. It didn't work and it just made Obama look disrespectful and arrogant:


Sen. Barack Obama and his debate prep team were surprised that Sen. John McCain remained calm and collected during the debate. Obama's continual references to "John," while McCain referred to Obama as "Senator," was intended to needle McCain's patience in hopes for a flash of McCain infamous temper. But McCain was, according to campaign advisers, ready for the needle and didn't take the bait.
Who does Obama think he's dealing with? McCain's been through a lot tougher opponents than Obama and has had to deal with a lot more than Obama can throw at him.

Was I the only one watching who thought the debate looked like an eager student (Obama) being put in his place be a professor (mcCain)? The main looked positively adolescent.

Particularly loved the exchange over Obama's potential meeting with the nutso Iranian:
McCain: "So how will this work, he says he's going to wipe Israel off the map and you say 'No, you're not!'"

I just had to laugh at that. And the whole bracelet bit. McCain talks about his bracelet, and then Obama exclaims "I have one too!" I mean come ON! Am I the only one who had visions of a frazzled Obama manager dashing about backstage squaking: "Barack needs a bracelet! Can some one PLEASE find Barack a bracelet!"
Can't wait for the other debates. This is better than SNL.

"Can't wait for the other debates. This is better than SNL."

Or in the case of Our Sarah, just like SNL.
