"That one"

[Dari]

I knew McCain has a reputation for being snarky but that was just disrespectful.

(CNN) ? Barack Obama's campaign immediately highlighted a singular moment in Tuesday's presidential debate when John McCain sought to criticize Barack Obama for supporting the 2007 Bush-Cheney energy bill:

"It was an energy bill on the floor of the Senate, loaded down with goodies, billions for the oil companies, and it was sponsored by Bush and Cheney," McCain said. "You know who voted for it? You might never know. That one. You know who voted against it? Me."

Obama campaign spokesman Bill Burton immediately emailed reporters noting McCain's seemingly peculiar reference to the Illinois senator.

"Did John McCain just refer to Obama as 'that one?' Burton asked.

I just can't get my ire up over that one...

 

[bdude]

This will be the biggest moment of the debate.

Bad move by the Obama campaign to bring up that shit. Let it go. Repeat. LET IT GO!!!!! The talking heads are already talking about it, you don't need to be fanning the flames.

 

[QED]

Yep, McCain obviously left out the "n" word there.

 

[misle]

I didn't watch the debate, but I think using the term "that one" for a politician is just about right.

Yeah... that's it :roll:. I hope my sarcasm meter is broken.

McCain wouldn't shake Obama's hand at the end. What a bitter POS.

 

[sammyunltd]

I just don't see what's wrong with that, though?

Shows the same lack of respect that Gore had towards Bush and Bush Sr. had towards Clinton.

I try to make my sarcasm meter-proof.

McCain really looks bloated kind of like Jerry Lewis before he croaked. Palin has to love her chances here.

 

[nageov3t]

this is a significant issue that should completely determine who we vote for.

 

[NFS4]

Jerry Lewis is still alive... I think

I've heard that term used all my life, and I've never heard it used as a derogatory comment. Usually it's about a family member.

 

[eits]

the most disrespectful thing he did all debate, which there are lots of things to choose from, was whenever obama said something like, "i know john mccain thinks i'm green behind the ears and inexperienced and naive and i don't get it and that he knows everything" or something like that and mccain interrupted him and said "pretty much!"

what a fucking douche.

The only time I've heard it is on television when the victim is pointing out the criminal in a line-up.

i didnt think it was that bad, till everyone talked about it. is that considered offensive?

 

[HomerJS]

Just as disrespectful if Obama called John McCain "that old man over there"

 

[DealMonkey]

Eh whatever. It just demonstrates that someone told McCain to get his dander up. It was like watching my pissed off grandpa storm around the house.

Don't you remember the massive coronaries of outrage R's were having here because Obama addressed McCain as "John", even though as Senators they are equal and Obama meant zero disrespect with it?

Totally. Just like all the McCain personal attacks towards Obama which is a critical issue everyone should vote based upon.

Really? I thought he did.

This was post worthy? Oh wait, look at the OP.

Nobody remembers that because it wasn't there... but nice of you to remember well enought to recycle that material and turn it into a straw man argument.
