Andrea Shows McCain's Only Stumble, None of Obama's Acquiescence
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Andrea Mitchell gave it the old college try for Obama this morning. Summarizing the debate on Today, Mitchell managed to cobble together a video clip that showed McCain's only stumble, while snipping out what many including her colleague Chris Matthews saw as the debate's most salient feature: the multiple times Obama expressed agreement with McCain.

And so it was that Andrea treated us to McCain's difficulties in pronouncing "Ahmadinejad." But the eight times Obama abjectly agreed with McCain? Not a one made it into the Mitchell editor's cut. Then there was Andrea's parting shot:

"The only question is whether in some of the reaction shots [McCain] looked too angry and dismissive of an opponent who seemed determined to remain cool."

I also had a big problem trying to listen with Nobama talking over McCain at will.
Jim Lehrer did a poor job of chastising him for that.
McCain was far more professional on that count, where
Hussein had to keep butting in and over-talking McCain.
Also- did anyone notice how many times Nobama referred to
McCain as “John” instead of SENATOR???
VERY DISRESPECTFUL. Not leaving a very good impression.
I keep picturing a meeting of Nobama with almost ANY world leader- Uh, Uh, Uh, over and over again. a totally stilted speech pattern, and over-talking the other person.

He thinks that is how America gains respect in the world?
Not in my thinking.

I’m sure her messiah mispronounced it as well. “

But Nobama can fluently recite the Muslim prayers in flawless Arabic...........and she sees nothing wrong with that!!

Everyone just needs to pronounce it “AH-MA-WHACK-JOB”

That way there should be no difficulties with it at all.

"BTW - Tell Andrea that Obama forgetting & stumbling over the name of the soldier on his bracelet and having to look down to read it, was 1000 times worse than McCain stumbling over Ahmadinejad."

BINGO!!! WE HAVE A WINNER!!!!!

The fact that the MSM refuse to jump all over that travesty shows once again their extreme biases. Which do REAL Americans care more about, that a candidate might stumble bit over the whack-job's name (which probably only 0.001% of people in America can pronounce correctly), or the FACT that Obambi pretends to care about one of our fallen warriors so much that he doesn't even remember the name?????

Yes - I agree - poor form on Obama - but I’m sure he got it from the Clinton attitude - oh Bill did the same thing as well...

Obama - he just doesn’t get it...but I hope the majority of US citizens do and elect McCain/Palin in the next month...
