My friend's roommate's brother knew a guy who talked to a girl, who said she heard a rumour that he once beat an old lady with her own walking cane too. No joke.

a simple no would have sufficed, but captain barack took it to an extreme.

Political Radar: The Trail Wears Thin

"One particularly aggressive person -- who, according to the campaign, may be a professional autograph seeker/seller who needed 'proof' that he actually been with the candidate in order to sell the Senator's autograph(s) online -- seemed to fray Obama's nerves as the Senator made an unadvertised stop an Italian market in Philly on Wednesday. Watch the VIDEO HERE. "

Are you talking about the video? There are three more incidents at the link.

Oh my God he's a madman!

I don't think it is "toying with his mind"; Obama is just running an inteligent campaign and making sense.....rather than pandering to what ever constituency his advance men could round up to fill a few seats in the hall......

Obama is demonstrating the ability to inspire and to lead....Obama is demonstrating the capacity to assess the current situation and to adjust and respond...

McCain is trying to pound the same old, tired, so yesterday world view and make it fit today's world. Its not working very well, and that failure and the level of the competition is "pushing McCain's buttons".

He clearly isnt a man who mellows......he has turned sour.

While McCain does not currently have blood pressure issues ( he does take similar medication for other reasons) the stress of the campaign is still in the early stages. Obama as a result of a long tough primary is alread up and running and might be tired but has gotten battle tested. McCain has not had the benefit of that and needs to build his endurance up etc. He does have problems with jet lag and the more Obama can make him travel and jump time zones etc.


McCain Cancer-Free and Healthy, Records Show : NPR
McCain also uses a sleeping medication (Ambien CR) when he needs it, along with melatonin to fight jet lag. He takes a multivitamin each day.


His medical records show him in good health but I do notice that he appears not to do many outdoor appearances in warm weather states this summer. Seems like he prefers indoor air conditioning. I wonder if he could hold up doing a whirlwind tour like Obama just did with the media watching his every move. Maybe thats why when he went out of the country he didn't invite the press and Obama did. McCain is getting testy this week and could we soon seen a patented Johnny Mc vent?
Well, following this line of thought Barry could really stress McCain out by doing a lot of debates and 1 on 1 town hall meetings all over the country...Oh, I forgot. That was what JM wanted to do. Barry is too chicken to do that.

You guys are starting to grasp at staws....and your boy is looking awfully shallow.
