How petulant

I saw this at TPM. I think it speaks volumes about McCain's character.


Obama Makes McCain Very Uncomfortable

Let the record reflect that Barack Obama made the approach to John McCain tonight.

As the two shared the Senate floor tonight for the first time since they won their party nominations, Obama stood chatting with Democrats on his side of the aisle, and McCain stood on the Republican side of the aisle.

So Obama crossed over into enemy territory.

He walked over to where McCain was chatting with Republican Sen. Mel Martinez of Florida and Independent Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman of Connecticut. And he stretched out his arm and offered his hand to McCain.

McCain shook it, but with a “go away” look that no one could miss. He tried his best not to even look at Obama.

Finally, with a tight smile, McCain managed a greeting: “Good to see you.”

Obama got the message. He shook hands with Martinez and Lieberman — both of whom greeted him more warmly — and quickly beat a retreat back to the Democratic side.

1. Thanks, terrya. I've been curious about this.

2. G'morning terrya. interesting snippet

that demonstrates McCain's utter lack of grace and real enmity toward Obama. He really is repulsive.

3. These are toxic people. Toxic for the country and toxic personally. Just ask McCain's

first wife--the one who did NOT have a father wealthy enough to put him in Congress.

4. Surprised Obama bothers with sacks-o-shit like McShame & Loserman...

I hope it was just to bug them.

5. In Addition to the mean factor,...

...there is also the fact that he represents the LAST state to recognize Martin Luther King jr day as a national holiday.

It must really be bugging him to be losing to a black guy! He probably stand the idea of being the first white man to lose a presidential election to an ethnic candidate.

If I were Obama (and he certainly needs NO advice from ME!), I'd just HAMMER McSame with respect in the remaining 2 debates. That would drive McSame NUTS, especially if he is just as dis-respecful again.

PEACE!

6. Obama didn't beat a quick retreat.

He left the field victorious. He owns McCain; he knows he can make Combover come across as a mean (in both senses of the word) bad tempered crank any time he wants to. All he has to do is behave like a gentleman and a senator.

It's strange that McCain hasn't cleaned up his act. He took major hits for this 'tude during the debate.
