Obama disagreed with McCain more times than he agreed
Edited on Fri Sep-26-08 10:10 PM by WIllo
McCain never once admitted when he agreed Obama, not even when directly asked by Lehrer.

Obama makes a good leader because he is will look you in the eye and boldly admit when he agrees and boldly admit when he does not.

McCain, never took a high road or a diplomatic one.

He didn't look Obama in the eye.
He didn't admit when Obama was right.
He didn't admit where they agreed.
He didn't step toward Obama to shake hands at the end.
He was not first to say "good job" or any other word to Obama.

McCain showed himself to be a weak, cowardly, kneecapping bully.
Obama showed himself to be a strong, bold, diplomatic leader.

1. And what will appeal most to undecided voters?
Considering we've had Pretzeldent Shit-for-Brains for 8 years. I don't have much faith in many of my fellow Americans.

2. Bush appeared strong, folksy, certain, and charming.
McCain has none of Bush's strengths.

8. I never saw any of that, but you're right, others did.
I just hope others (a.k.a Undecideds) are seeing the same unsavory things I see in McNasty.

3. Obama initiated eye contact at the OPENING handshake!
And McCain just glanced at him...

4. You're right. He did.
Obama deals with people in a respectful manner.

I'd be more inclined to agree with him calling for forceful action against a country over McCain's call.

5. I hope this "blinking" McCain did about suspending his campaign speaks volumes too..
How anyone wants THAT as the Commander in Chief...

6. McCain seems to prefer quitting when things get tough.
