Browse: Home / US Politics / Presidential Debate: McCain Snubs Obama With “That One”
By Rusty on October 8, 2008
McCain’s Senior Moment or Diplomatic Methods?
That one? What is Up with that?
What was John McCain thinking? Instead of saying Barack’s name, he pointed at Obama and referred to Barack Obama as “that one.” Did McCain forget Barack Obama’s name for a moment? Or is this how he deals with those that are whipping his political butt? If it was a McCain senior moment, I could understand that, who doesn’t have a senior moment from time to time. Then again, I’m not running for a position where I’ll need to remember the name of the person threatening to blow Israel or the US into oblivion.
I don’t know what McCain was thinking or was he thinking at all but I think this is going to really hurt him. Also, at the end of the debate, Obama reached out to shake McCain’s hand and McCain did not take it. Now McCain may not have noticed and McCain did pat Obama on the back. Perhaps McCain was distracted by someone as Obama extended his hand. I wouldn’t normally raise the issue except for McCain’s referring to Obama as “that one.” If that was intentional, McCain is clearly and I mean clearly is not qualified to handle diplomatic affairs.

I’m 100% Southern and consider that to be a good thing. I’m sorry for the people that don’t understand.
I grew up in Jackson, Mississippi where I went to Jim Hill High School and Millsaps College. I worked several jobs while going to college but most often could be found behind the counter at good old “Speed-E Food.” One of the most fun jobs I ever had, because of the people that lived in South Jackson.
After college, I went to work for the IRS as a Revenue Agent. I loved it and I was good at it but my health fell apart. I had to take a position of as a Functional Automation Coordinator, which was fancy Government speak for Computer Analyst.
I finally came to my senses. Decided working wasn’t a good idea for me and applied for disability. It was granted. As soon as I was shed of my responsibilities in the states, I flew to the Philippines to find out what was out there.
What I found here has been awesome, its not perfect here but I have much more of a life here than I could have in the USA. It is just too costly to live in the US for me. Don’t get me wrong, I love the USA. I miss it too. I wonder what it will feel like when I get back.
Hey! I think you got it right. Either way McCain is either a moron or senile!
Rusty the only one having a senior moment is you. Obama is an Idiot and does not deserve our respect!
Rigghhhht. And the reason that Obama is an Idiot is because ________. And the proof you have for that is _________.
Like, “Senator Obama and his cronies”.
“My friends”
and… “that one…”
What’s his message? It seems that it’s
“That one and his cronies are inferior. He is not your friend. I am your friend…”
Thank you Republican for your insight. With arguments like that, I’m sure to change my mind. Yep, your right I have lots of senior moments. I’m going to tell my mommie you called me a name. :) Hmm, I wonder if it is too late to change my vote? LOL I’m an idiot, I voted for Obama…. I hope the sarcasm seeps through the net and oozes all over your keyboard.
Hello Rusty…
you hit the nail on the head… You and everyone else has their personal choice. (isn’t that a wonderful thing about the United States?)
So if McCain really lost it and overlooked Obama’s name, I thought it was pretty choice. What will happen when he is in a league of nations meeting and forgets someone else’s name… Well that happens….
Fly by night… I’m not sure who it may be that will win. I’ve spoken with many people and I hear that Massachusetts has the Obama vote… Personally I’m still not sure who to vote for…
I really don’t think we’re ready for Obama… I want whoever will do the best job and not drive the United States into the sea… Who would Nostradamus pick?
Just my 2 cents…
John
Hello John 2 cents. :)
Are you my old friend from MySpace? Probably not, Myspace has turned into a great waste land.
Not ready in what way?
We better be ready, I have no doubt that we are.
Hello Rusty!!
Not from myspace, but you had recently emailed me about joining in here…
I’m that alien they recovered from Roswell all those years ago. Luckily the US government is so lax they they let anyone be a citizen… (even us aliens!!) – can’t wait to read more from Project Bluebook.
Obama looks promising today… can’t wait to see how the election turns out. Where’s Hillary? Certainly not living behind her husband. She could have been a contender (in my best Brando imitation)
John
Awww, that John, got you. Thanks!!! There is another John running around here, I THINK.
I posted a link to that Project Bluebook on here. I think it can be read online but I don’t have time. I intended to do so but…. Maybe the documents themselves are not there, just a write up?
