Sen. Obama is arrogant and rude. He demonstrated this tonight. He is a Jr (very Jr) United States Senator. He has only very recently entered the national (much less global) political scene. Even so, he referred to his opponent as "John" almost the entire night. He also referred to the current President as "George Bush". I hope that people noticed that, even facing this blatant disrespect, Sen. McCain kept his composure and continually referred to "Barry" as "Sen. Obama".
Sen. McCain was also not the one doing all of the interruptions tonight, nor was he saying "that's not true", over and over into the microphone in the middle of Obama's statements. Obama also clearly felt that what he had to say was of sufficient importance to interrupt the moderator, and on several occasions gave the moderator "permission" to continue with the next question.
I already knew I disagreed strongly with Sen. Obama's policies. Now I know I think he's far too young and self-indulged to be a leader of any country - much less the most powerful nation in the world.
So thanks for clearing that up for me tonight, Senator Obama.

Yes, I noticed those things too. It seemed so childish for Obama to keep interrupting, "That's not true!" I expected it to be prefaced by, "Mommy...!" or something. Nathan and I laughed over the "I have a bracelet, too." line. Do you remember that? For some reason it really hit our funny bones.
Sarah -- did you also notice that he couldn't remember whose bracelet he was wearing? That he hmmed a moment while looking down at his wrist to read the name on the bracelet?
Jonathan -- loved your blog! You are right on!
