Pre-Debate, McCain promised to “Whip Obama’s Ass.”

Come Wednesday, when Bob Schieffer, the moderator, blew the whistle, McSAME came out charging, snorting like a wounded Buffalo, eyes shimmering and darting — like those of a Predatory Ferret.

I thought I was watching Al Gore “hissing” in the 2000 debates.

The difference in tone was striking. While Obama was calm, cool, collected, soothing and candid, McCain “Made Faces” like an exasperated little kid, ….the body language was “‘Autistically’ Tortured” …strange …horrible.

Was old-man McCain over-medicated?

McCain threw punches and clawed desperately, but Obama smoothly sidestepped like a boxer safely ahead on points.

In one astonishing exchange, McCain acted as though he was the truly aggrieved party, insisting that he had repudiated all of the attacks on Mr. Obama by surrogates and ‘some fringe people‘ at rallies. He didn’t mention that his running mate, Sarah Palin, is one of the loudest attackers, and he certainly didn’t repudiate her absurd, repeated charge that Mr. Obama has been ‘palling around with terrorists.‘

Even more incredible, was McCain’s demand that Obama admonish civil-rights icon and Georgia congressman John Lewis, who rightly accused John McCain and Sarah Palin of stoking hate, likening the atmosphere at Republican campaign events to those featuring George Wallace, the segregationist former governor of Alabama and presidential candidate.

“What I am seeing reminds me too much of another destructive period in American history,” Lewis said in a statement issued a few days ago. “Sen. McCain and Gov. Palin are sowing the seeds of hatred and division, and there is no need for this hostility in our political discourse.”

McCain’s rigmarole peaked into absurdity when he warned; that a group called ACORN is ‘on the verge of maybe perpetrating one of the greatest frauds in voter history‘ and ‘may be destroying the fabric of democracy.‘

Based on the information that has come to light so far, the charges appear to be wildly overblown — and intended to hobble Acorn’s efforts.

In spite of McCain’s manufactured fury about vote theft (and similar claims from the Republican Party over the years) there is virtually no evidence — anywhere in the country, going back many elections — of people showing up at the polls and voting when they are not entitled to….[MORE]

Sincerely, in this debate, McCain looked more like the “Terrorist” to me. An angry, snickering, snorting and hissing terrorist — armed with “ingested medication,” …if any.

In the end, John McCain a.k.a Joe “Six-Pack” a.k.a Joe “The Plumber” a.k.a the “Fidgety Ferret” failed miserably to claw the “Cool Cat” — Mr. Barack Obama.

Barack Obama has proven beyond any doubt that he is of more “Presidential Timber” than John McCain. Period! Case Closed!

Obama can only lose if people like these prevail [see video below]
