911 - Ground Zero tribute - Sen. McCain vs. HUSSEIN Obama
Wild Thing's comment...........
The differences between McCain and Obama at ground zero marking the 7th anniversary of 911.
Obama threw his flowers into the reflecting pool and both John and Cindy McCain respectfully placed their bouquets.
McCain was accompanied by his charming wife, Cindy.
I also noticed that afterwards as the two were glad-handing the crowd, McCain talked to both the cops and the second liners in the crowd . One of the police or firemen not sure which gave a pin to John and Cindy and pined the pin on each of them. Many of the first liners pulled McCain close and whispered something in his ear. There was NO pin given to Obama and I am glad. With the comments he made after 911 the day after it happened I would not give him a pin either if I was a policeman or a firefighter.
There was also Obama’s rude behavior toward 3 of the 4 people who were standing in a receiving line. While Senator McCain and his wife and the mayor was greeting the 4 people and shaking their hands, Obama spent a lot of time speaking with the first woman; he gave her a pat or a nudge on the shoulder, as if in support.
And then he completely ignored the remaining 3 people: a woman, a man in a firefighters hat/cap, and a workman in a hardhat. They were standing there, expecting to shake his hand as he walked past them, but and he made an obvious detour to avoid them. It didn’t appear to be that he even made eye contact.
It was very embarrassing to watch.
Obama hasn’t the slightest idea of proper courtesy or protocol. He is a jerk.
The graciousness of both John and Cindy is in stark to Barack Hussein Obama. He needs to get some coaching from his left wing liberal friends. And the realness of the Mccains shaking hands, engaging the folks on the sidelines just proves the point again olf why John and Cindy belong in the White House and NOT the trashing America Obama couple.
McCain always looks people in the eye to speak with them and has that look of interest in what they are talking about. I notcied Obama does not, he does not have that look of really listening only the how do I respond to this next look instead.
Obama isnt worthy of shining John McCain’s shoes! and that is just a true fact! John must be ready to throw up having to deal with the POS! Obama must NOT BE ELECTED!
Obama was in NY since yesterday, and appeared on Letterman last night. This morning John McCain was in Shanksville, Pa. and spoke at the memorial. And what did Obama do? He met Bill Clinton for lunch at his Harlem’s office to plan campaign strategy. He spent more time with Bill Clinton working out campaign plans, than he did at Ground Zero. My take on him is that all the time he was there, he was thinking about getting it over with so he could move on to more important things. He wasn't very reverent, and acted flippant, like it was an inconvenience for him to be there...preoccupied.
Why am I making a big deal about the flower being thrown? Because everything matters......everything when a person is a public figure, when a person is running for President of our United States of America! Everything.
McCain is physically disabled to a certain degree, and yet he made every attempt to lean down as best he could and with shoulders not allowing much movement at all he reaches out to carefully and respectfully lay the flower down.
Obama who is NOT disabled in any way except his BRAIN made his choice to throw the flower like one would do if tossing a pebble in a pond or lake. That would not be bad except this was about showing respect and his actions simply did not.
If the media is going to give Obama a free pass as they have been doing on all things Obama then by God I will make sure I point the things out he does that should be brought to the front.
Obama should have organized a community ETIQUETTE class!
From Obama's book , "Audacity of Hope" : ’I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction."
God is in the details.

I watched that and also posted a comment on my site. When I saw McCain with his wife Cindy and Obama alone, I thought about his comment "lipstick on a pig" and wondered where Mamabama was? Perhaps in the restroom removing her lipstick.

Don't be to hard on him Chrissie, I'm sure it took a lot for him to actually toss a flower when what he really wanted to do was toss a bucket of chicken and yell "America, your chickens have come home to roost!"

Obama acted very bored and put out. His lack of poise suggested overbearing airs. What a vain man.
He only functions with choreography and teleprompters.

Functional disdain was exhibited by the European presidential candidate. The puppet master wasn't there to pull the strings and he was there only for the photo op, the symbolic token exhibition of caring, internally I'd bet he was praising those hijackers. The lack of Obamamama could mean either disrespect or he was afraid she'd further embarass him in public.

The differences between these two is strikingly obvious!!!!!!!! Obama is like a mechanical man going through the motions with no compassion. McCain and Cindy obviously have the emotional connection with the people and a true sense of compassion!!!!! With Obama, it is a duty. With McCain, it is a priviledge and an honor!!!!!!

Watching Barack Hussein Obama at Ground Zero who believes that terror groups have 'legitimate claims' and asserts the U.S. needs a foreign policy that 'looks at the root causes of problems' blaming the United States, in part, for what happened on 9/11 is both insulting, un-American, and, YES!, UN-PATRIOTIC.

Bob,oh good, I am so glad you saw it too and posted about it.

"wondered where Mamabama was? Perhaps in the restroom removing her lipstick."

Tom, yessss his being so vain just surrounds him no matter what he does.

Jack yes they have been keeping her kind of quiet for a reason. She is a time bomb I think. Too much anger in her.
Your right too about the photo op. That is all things like this are to lefties. I always remember Bill Clinton faking tears at a funeral I think it was.
Posted by: Wild Thing at September 12, 2008 08:22 PM
Jack both would be right, Kenya and European good one.

Joh, your right Obama is very mechanical.
I agree with all you said and this especially is so true. What a difference.
"With Obama, it is a duty. With McCain, it is a priviledge and an honor!!!!!!"

Les it sure is!
"is both insulting, un-American, and, YES!, UN-PATRIOTIC"

This reminds me of the tribute in 2002, on the first anniversary of 9/11. Hillary Clinton came in laughing and joking with people.
President Bush was in tears.
