Quite disgraceful. You really should show your opponent respect.

McCain is acting like the elitist, not looking at Obama last debate, refusing to shake hands this debate, Mr high and mighty is clueless

as I stated in a different thread ...

one thing that's evident, McCain just does not like Obama ... he never looks him in the eye ... when they shake hands, you can see Obama saying "good luck John" or "Nice Job John" ... and McCain is silent ... it REALLY gives the appearance that McCain does not think Obama is his equal, which, again, is NOT a sure sign of racism, but, it comes off, sooooo bad.

McCain has shown his true colors this past few weeks, and as the race tilts more and more towards Senator Obama we are probably going to see more and more of his nastiness.

let me state that i support Obama.

i didnt see him not shake his hand. in fact when tom B. was saying you are in my way and i cant see my script, they were hugging and talking.

at the end, it was Obama that took his hand away from McCains to shake the hand of Cindy. then Mccain took his hand away. thats what i saw.

I think McCain is just the oldest spoiled brat in the world. It was his in 2000, and some moron kid of a former president got in his way. In 2008, it was definately his turn, and now Obama's getting in the way. He knows at 72, it's now or never. I don't think he detests Obama because of race. he detests him because Obama just took the one toy in the playground that McCain has never been able to play with, and he ain't giving it back. But you're right, that comment came off terrible, and it wil be a soundbite for a few days, and it'll be on SNL Saturday for sure

It looked like when Obama went to shake his hand, McCain pointed toward his wife as if to say "Shake hers instead"

Speakers

Obama should come in with a high-five to start the next debate and see what McCant's reaction is.

You know I didn't see that before, after Obama reaches out with his hand McCain points over to Cindy and leaves Obama hanging so he shake her had instead. He Left Obama hanging.

Some strange goings on here for sure.

Peace

I hate McCain as much as anyone, but that did not seem like a big deal, imo. He's shaken Obama's hand countless times i'm sure.

Wouldn't that be like someone to stop saying "thank you" at Christmas after they recieved a gift just because they've said it so many times before? It's just to show some respect really.

I haven't watched one debate because I'm not voting for either of these two clowns but how does McCain address Obama?

I've heard he addresses him as Senator Obama and not by his first name yet Obama addresses McCain as John. Maybe McCain feels that his Obama showing him no respect?

I believe his new way of addressing obama is 'that one'.

Brisk.

Its becuase senator obama just doesn't understand.

But yeah looks like Obama wanted to shake McCain's hand but he was like no ty shake the ladie's kk?

McCain sucks and every one who votes for him should change his mind.
I really don't think he's a good thing for the USA. Your country needs something new, needs change. This guy doens't even shake Obama's hand. Shaking hand is, for me, the least he could do. I mean, even when you don't like someone, you say hello and you don't refuse to shake his hand. I guess McCain is too racist to shake a black's hand.
