I was going to make a “that one” joke, but I’ve heard quite a few good ones that were much better than what I had in mind. And I don’t know if I want to make light of the disregard displayed (all that dis-ing!) publicly toward one Presidential candidate from another. I’m not naive enough to believe that Obama likes McCain any more than John likes Barack. But he does a better job of hiding it, at least in public when the man’s standing/sitting right there. And people call him elitist! Standing while Obama was talking was minorly disrespectful. But on the other hand, I don’t know. I’m not making fun of him, but that stool looked uncomfortable for Senator McCain to maintain a posture in. I don’t think I would have been comfortable in that chair, having short legs also. Maybe his legs hurt, and he needed to stand a bit. Like I said, I don’t know. But pacing while Obama was talking at the end – I mean, geez. Even “elitists” like Obama don’t do that. Not so openly. That kind of “I’m right, and you just don’t understand” posturing stands in contrast to the “maverick” reaching across the aisle they both brag a lot about.
