I just saw the video of McCain and Obama shaking hands and hugging right at the end of the debate. It's at "http://talkingpointsmemo.com/archives/222684.php". Right there at the bottom of the page. Sorry, I don't know how to do links.

They shook hands before McCain later snubbed him and then ran off in a huff.

Good for him. Minus 2 snarky points for McCain.

As soon as you apologize for "terrorist fist bumps", "Michelle hates America", "Obama's a Muslim", "Obama loves terrorists", "If Obama's elected, he'll destroy the country!", etc., etc.

By the way, several of us Obama supporters on the previous threads defended McCain.

Contrary to what liberals here might have you believe, Obama actually likes McCain. In fact, everyone who knows McCain likes him. You might not agree with his poltics, fine, but McCain is not the type of person you smear. All of congress respects and likes McCain, but for whatever reason, he has not been able to sell this, yet, to the American people. McCain did not snub Obama. The second hand shaking was a joke, a light moment of McCain tapping Obama on the shoulder and then blaming it on his wife inviting him to shake his wife's hand. The spin on this is sickening.

Maybe the 14+ Republican Senators refusing to endorse him says something about what a great guy he is.

Oh my gosh, did you see how Obama took a big step away from McCain after they turned to the audience and McCain was waving. I guess he didn't want to be too close too him, McCain must have the cooties or something or maybe Obama just ripped one Let's see how many ridiculous things we can make up in our own little minds from video clips.


Back and forth, back and forth

Do you follow politics much? Many Republicans find McCain waaaay to liberal and middle of the road. That is why a few did not endorse him. Same as Obama. This is common and does not mean they do not like McCain personally. They simply disagreed with him politically. Remember, McCain is NOT far right, he is darn near as middle of the road as Hillary is.

They were shaking hands and embracing, but blocking Brokaw's teleprompter, so he asked them to move a part.
