Re: McCain lies? Caves? Or Obama was right?

Anything to this?
McCain was being interiewed by a Spanish American Radio host (I think in Miami or something) and was asked something about José Luis RodrÃguez Zapatero, President of Spain. The interviewer had a pretty heavy accent, and McCain seemed disinterested in the first place. He answered [PARAPHRASING} "Well, I don't know, I wouldn't uhhhh, I only meet with our allies" The reporter asked a followup question and McCain said "Well, we'll see, but we have to pick & chose our allies in Latin America"
It really sounded like McCain just didn't know who the person was, and either didn't want to ask a followup question, or for more clarification, so he wung it & gave a broad answer. So as not to corner himself without knowing what country it was. They denied it & claimed something else about what he was talking about (He won't guarantee meeting with any leaders or something), you can listen & form your own opinion.
I'll try & find a link.

I think one of the main reasons McCain refused to look at Obama is because of his temper. He was basically trying to censor himself from having the type of meltdown on national TV that would end his campaign. And I am sure he will continue this tactic. And if he does, it'll make him look like one of the biggest jackasses to ever run for President.

I watched some online and McCain didn't even look like a presidential candidate. How could we trust this guy to meet with foreign leaders if he can't even look at his opponent?
Obama may have very little foreign experience, but his charisma and ablility to look at who he's talking to beats McCain.
I can't believe some people are calling this debate a tie. If for body language alone Obama won. He looked cool and collected. McCain looked like he could snap at any moment.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it was a strategy to put Obama down with that & to say "What Obama doesn't understand is..." quite a few times. It seems to have backfired a little, but I think the idea was to make McCain look like the master & Obama struggling to keep up. Incidentally I saw a clip posted of a previous GOP debate where McCain clearly turns & looks directly at Ron Paul. So it was pretty obvious a strategy for last nights debate. Although maybe they felt he gets angry when he looks at his opponent, so they advised him not to do it in that regard.

(It's around the 3:00 minute mark where he turns and looks right at him)

So apparently he wouldn't even look Obama's wife in the eye when he shook hands with her. The Founding Fathers would be ashamed of this guy's immature behavior last night. It sure as hell wasn't Presidential, or Senatorial for that matter.
Re: McCain lies? Caves? Or Obama was right?
I'm really disappointed in McCain. His handling of the debate is just shameful. Amazing that its not getting tons of media attention.
I cant stand Obama's wife but I'd definitely have the decency to look at her if she shook my hand.
This election is just god awful. Worst candidates in history. Jesse Ventura should have jumped in the ring months ago and he would have won.
