New York Times Columnist Maureen Dowd appeared on NBC's Meet the Press on Sunday morning. Dowd reviewed a video clip of John McCain talking about Barack Obama's level of experience and concluded that McCain does not like Obama.

At a campaign stop last week, McCain had joked about Obama's experience. "For a young man with very little experience, he's done very well. So I appreciate with his very, very great lack of experience and knowledge of the issues, he's been very successful," joked McCain.

Dowd observed that McCain's mocking tone showed his distaste for Obama.

Dowd said, "I think we learned something very interesting in this exchange. For one thing, McCain really doesn't like Obama and he thinks that he's the punk who hasn't bled, as McCain people like to say it. And doesn't deserve to be in this arena.
