Rather than watching the debate, I listened to it. It seemed as if Obama was continually interrupting McCain. Afterward, the commentators on Fox said that Obama was mocking and smirking and muttering “not true”. Was this truly noticeable? Might this not be similar to Gore’s sighing? Just curious. BTW, McCain sounded like a statesman; Obama like a street-smart thug.
I saw Obama smirking. I also believe I heard him mutter “Not True” several times, on things that as far as I know were true. I also saw him look at notes for the soldier’s name. At several points he also seemed flustered.
McCain was smiling and seemed confident. Though he did smirk once or twice himself.
McCain did better on facts and substance
obama even came across as a kid who has done his homework but wasn’t sure on all the facts he had just learned where as McCAin knew the facts about the facts
obama was very rude, kept interrupting, showed how arrogant he was and came across as a child who didn’t want the other kid to speak.
Obama was getting annoyed about his non appearance too Afghanistan and especially at the beginning with the ear marks Obama has asked for
there was no way obama could have said anything different as it is so true about his ear marks and ,McCain should have played on it more
when obama said to McCain your president I nearly threw my drink at the TV
McCain should have picked up on this but let it go
