i like it better when that squirrel is singing freddy mercury!

it's not as cute when he's rolling his eyes and threatening to kill obama....

[ThePatriotsMaxims]

lol...I don't think there are many who will know what you are referring to.

In short, I'd say;

Obama acted like and Adult, McCain acted like a child.

Wow, what a pair, Grandpa huffing and puffing, rolling his eyes, with winking hockey mom beside him. Perfect people to represent our country outside and have negotiations with Putin and the like... NOT!

Obama/Biden '08

Lol what a bunch of garbage when they have to bring in an expert to assess emotions.

[mrburnstick]

Mccain needs to raise his hand instead of interrupting people

[mypixielove]

i loved watching the debates, cuz if you look at their faces, obama is always smiling, calm, and sometimes even laughed at the stupid things mccain accused him of. mccain on the other hand, HAHAHAHA, was so nervouse, jumpy, and angry :P

[Trancemaster2052]

No amount of bizarre, childish and unprofessional facial expressions by McCain could hide the fact that he got owned in the debates.

[Vexed34]

@aleceth Yes but keep in mind that they are both just acting.

[itbarthur4u]

I smile like that in debate when i know my opponent is giving a weak argument.

[itbarthur4u]

In true surprise a person raises their eyebrow and drops it immediately. When someone holds their eyebrow up this is a sign of fake exaggerated surprise. McCain's fake reactions give lie to the fact that he was simply playing his exaggerated responses to the audience.

Its just sheeps trying to decide wich wolf to hire to protect the herd. The 2 wolfs are from the same pack. The campain between these 2 global murderers is just because the the sheeple need to be under the impression that they have a decission into this and it matters wich of the 2 wolfs take the heat when the real leaders make and implement the decissions that fuck up shit. My native language is not english so dont flame me for the gramar. Also I'm a paranoid person.But just cause I am it dont

[CutChemist]

Honestly. There's no telling how many swing voters that his expressions irked.

Was anyone else thinking 2000 1st debate Gore when he did that? I know I was.

Making funny faces while Obama spoke, made McCain look unprofessional, undisciplined & disrespectful.
