Wow, I believe that was the last time throughout the evening that Senator McCain looked at Senator Obama. Nice smile Senator Obama. I hope that the upcoming debates are focused more on the issues at hand and how they will be addressed to make things better for our economy, heatlhcare, citizens of America than to focus on who did what way back when and who supported which bill----blah, blah and more blah.

This was pretty much the only time McCain made eye contact with Senator Obama. Bloody rude curmudgeon.

I guess Obama thought this handshake allowed him the leisure of repeatedly disrespecting his opponent, elder, senior senator by constantly calling him John. Its Senator McCain. "John" didn't call Obama by his given name of Hussein did he? Lets remember folks, rudeness is in the eyes of the beholders... Take off your blue or red glasses and open your mind. Just maybe the candidate you do not support might say something insightful and you might actually HEAR it...

What I love is the sharp snap you see between the previous photos and this one. It's the difference between the deadly serious, introspective psyching-up pre-game prep... and the ultimate, outward-looking, all lights blazing game time.

I surely don't remember McSame uttering anything "insightful" from the debate. Just more redirection and half/non-answers.
