It was an appropriate assertion. I liked it.
He could have said “that boy” ...
Why did McCain refer to Obama as “that one”? And was it racist to talk like that?
LOL!
Sarah Palin winked four times in the VP debate too!
Equally as irrelevant.
I also noticed that Brokaw said John McCain but when talking about Obama said Senator Obama several times. Why not Senator for both?
What was McCain suppose to say, “The One”?
Yeah, but then you would get mad if he said his name "Barack Hussein Obama".
Shades of Ross Perot's "You people" comment?
I would have called him something else. I guess “that one” works.
McCain was clearly referring to which “one” of the two on the stage had voted for that bill.
Man, they are really reaching for something to hit McCain on. I guess the Keating 5 idea didn’t work so well. Duh.
I thought it was a funny, kinda Reaganish colloquialism. Something like “Well, there that one goes again. You can always rely on that one to be “green” behind the ears.”
Obama dehumanizes our troops, is referred to the as “THE ONE” by his cult worshipers, yea I think that works for me!
I don’t recall Obama cloyingly referring to McCain as “John”.
Maybe he did, but I didn’t notice it like last time.
Exactly. That’s why they’re whining.
He should have said shithead.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but at some point during the debate did Obama not refer to McCain as “the guy”? That is a racist remark!
It makes as much sense to me to call it that as it does to call McCain’s comment racist. McCain must have done better than I thought if this is what the media is seizing upon.
look, conservatives in the republican party have for a long time complained about McCain and his attitude toward others. Let’s not all act like we suddenly don’t know who we’re dealing with here. If it was calculated it was dumb, if it wasn’t it was dumb. either way, what is everyone talking about? It was dumb, and completely in character.
