True and Obama's temper was also showing, at least to those of us who know how to spot his temper. He showed his temper with his scowls, smirks and the way he held his chin. They both have anger issues.
I would agree that Obama's temper showed but I think we all know it is nowhere near the level of McCain's temper.
What is really interesting to me is that Obama did best when he was angry. When he got angry he stopped pausing, he did not hesitate to pick just the right word or worry over his phrasing. He became fluid.
I don't know how they'd do it but his campaign people would be well served to try and anger him right before the next debate.
He did not curse. We hung on just about every word they both uttered. I thought he held his temper just fine, but Obama on the other hand lookd quite rattled and angry and very, very impatient and butted into McCains time several times. That was obvious. I think the video has been altered and that is why it has been removed. I think they both did very well. Obama, other than his little hissy moments, was smooth and articulate. McCain did outshine Obama on foreign policy and knowledge of the eastern European countries and the problems boiling there.
Well, You're half right. Would have been great if he had said it (but I didn't hear that on the clip or during the debate) because it would have been spot on. BO is full of HS and McCain didn't say he wouldn't meet with the President of Spain. He was non-committal.
Glad you liked it. Now just tell your camp people to do it.

I think that depends on the perspective of each viewer; influenced heavily by their perspective going on. Either way it doesn't matter if viewers don't have a clue what he's talking about.
When McCain started rattling off his spiel about Reagan and his stance on various wars through the years the CNN viewers - Rep, Dem and Indies alike - had zero reaction to him good or bad. The graphical lines representing their reactions, as input by them, remained flat. This was the case several times when McCain began listing off foreign policy country points that became too specific. Being that specific ceases to work when you've lost your audience or they have no idea what you're talking about.

Anger is GOOD! ANGER started this country!!!!
Now if we could get several hundred more Democratic congressmen ANGRY...screaming, yelling, fist pounding, point making, noisy, raising the roof ANGRY.....we could win this election!!!
And I don't mean like McCain's "pouty hurt little boy strike out at anybody" type of anger.
He said "of course not". I think even Andie the leftie-loon has backed off his Mccain cursing rant.
