It was mentioned on CNN that McCain has problems controlling his temper in public, at one town hall he tried to make a joke and called a college student a ..."little idiot"..., he does have problems at times relating to real people.

Did you watch the last debate? He didn't have any trouble controlling his temper.

The more important question is can Nobama actually let McCain speak without interrupting him every second? We all know you love to have the camera on you 24/7 Mr. Osama, but you will have plenty of time to speak, so allow McCain to also speak so voters can hear his stance on issues as well. Your not the only one running in this election, although it's obvious you think it's all about you.

He definitely comes off as strident and, very angry....if he erupts at someone like that, what will happen if, Putin and he mince words?.

I mean really, its a bit scary to consider........He doesnt seem very in control of his emotions.....

Are you kidding me? McCain refused to look at Obama, when Obama was looking at him, speaking, and he stood there gritting his teeth and making faces that were not pleasant. You could tell he was just seething inside. He has a hard time keeping his emotions to himself, which doesn't work well if you're talking to some leader from another country.

He just looks so angry all the time.

The last debate he was grimacing, many times as Obama was speaking his turn. He also seemed to be biting his lip at times.

Obama was polite, cool, calm and collected.

I am taking bets. I wager that when the ecoomy comes up and Obama calls him on a certain issue, Mccain will start to get red in the face, and have an outburst.

Every one of those interruptions began with the words "That's not true, John." If someone is saying something that is not true, yes you should interrupt him.
