I saw the video of this. Not only did the McCains bend down and reverently place their roses on the memorial, but afterwards, as they were going through the line shaking hands, two of the policemen (firemen? I’m not quite sure) in their dress uniforms at separate times each took a pin off his uniform and carefully pinned it to McCain’s lapel and Mrs. McCain’s collar. No one did this for Obambi.

I saw Obama THROW his rose on the memorial while John McCain bent over with reverence and placed his rose with the others. For anybody who has “eyes to see” this one is a no brainer.

We’re all getting to know BO, and the realization many of us have is that he’s a real a**h**e. I was stunned when I heard him say “Wah Silly” and do not believe for a moment that it was but one more gaffe. No, he was out to belittle Sarah Palin’s hometown and everyone in it. Ditto with the “Moose Hunter....that’s cool, that’s cool, blah blah blah.”

This guy is incredibly immature and you can bet america’s enemies have sized him up and are salivating at the thought that he might be elected.

But he wasn’t done yet. Both McCain and Obama brought roses to place on the makeshift 9/11 memorial. Obama casually tossed his rose on the memorial, looking somewhat like Don Barzini tossing a rose on Don Corleone’s grave near the end of Godfather I. McCain and his wife, by contrast, approached the memorial gingerly, then placed the roses with care on the memorial.

I have to agree with the Freepers who have pointed out that his behavior was quite possibly a reaction to something that happened just moments prior to the "flower chucking" incident:

There was a long line of officers greating McCain, his wife and then the solitary Obama. As McCain went down the line, he was warmly greated, shook hands and then at one point, two officers took off their commemorative pins and placed one on McCain's Jacket and another on his wife's. They were accepted graciously. As Obama passed down the line by himself, no one offered him a pin.

So then McCain, his arms and body torn and devastated by injuries gained in service to his nation, gently bent down to lower the flower to it's resting place. Obama, in a hissy-fit over the obvious snub, gave a "whatever!" toss of the flower to wherever the heck it was supposed to go. What was Obama thinking? Who knows...he was probably thinking "I bet McCain can't even email..."

The more I see of this kind of tone-deaf faux pas committed by Obama, the more convinced I am that he’s a figurehead put forward and propped up by entities who stand to gain by his winning this election. Any politician who has had to win elections the old fashioned way knows how to behave in every kind of public situation. But Obama has never had to really to work to win an election. He’s had the Chicago machine behind him every time. All he’s ever had to do was show up and mouth the words in the teleprompter. I’d just like to know who’s pulling the strings of this puppet.

The YouTube video is at Obama, McCain Visit 9/11 Site (2 minutes 18 seconds).

That any thinking person can't see the utter contempt with which Obama holds this country and the majority of its people astonishes me.

I want to shout "Open your eyes!" to all the people with their Obama buttons on the morning train (I live in Boston, work in Cambridge).

I feel like Kevin McCarthy at the end of Invasion of the Body Snatchers.

Of course Barrack wouldn’t act like a normal American. He’s one of the “Elite”, not a common man.

After reviewing the video from MSNBC I won’t revise my comment, but add to it.
While Barrack did shake hands with people, he appeared agitated that he ended up behind McCain - and had to wait for him as he slowly moved down the line. He’d didn’t look happy playing 2nd fiddle.

‘We’re the ones we’ve been waiting for” “When I’m elected the waters will recede (or some such crap like that”)....good freaking grief.

I hope they made that huge pile of flowers into bouquets and took them to a hospital or nursing home at the end of the day.

Did anyone notice a pair of fire fighters in the hole, remove badges from their uniforms and pin one each on John Mc Cain and then Cindy Mc Cain ?
I don’t believe noBama received one.

It's simple. The McCains wanted to be there. Obama had to be there.

This was an interesting article, regarding something most Americans, probably, did not notice. I did notice the way Obama “placed” his rose on the memorial.

Regarding Obama’s use of the “bring a gun to a knife fight” comment, I hated it. It reminded me of a street mongrel, a gangster, NOT a Presidential candidate.

It also reminded me of an interview I saw with a black gang member, I think in L.A. In response to a question, the gang banger told the interviewer that “it's survival of the fittest”, referring to himself. I marveled. Here was this person, claiming to be the “fittest” and he made his living off the hard work of others, via his drug sales, thievery, and bullying. He probably never finished school or held a REAL job, yet he is the “fittest” of our species? I could easily imagine him bringing a gun to a knife fight.

“In case you were wondering, Michelle Obama was back in Chicago tending to the children –”

Wrong. She gave two speeches in Indiana and Ohio on 9/11/08..

It's been written that Senator McCain's right arm is shorter than his left because of injuries suffered in captivity. As he walks down the ramp in this video, it's clearly evident.

I agree that Obama tossed the flower with a lack of care and looked a bit bored with the proceedings. It has to be said, however, that he shook hands and exchanged greetings with the individuals lined up along his path, as did the McCains. I can't fault him on that. I also think Michelle should have made the effort to be there.
