Cold Shoulder McCain…No Eye Contact from this Maverick
Published by Ashley on Saturday, September 27, 2008 at 4:57 pm.Posted by Ashley Slayton for BET You(th) Vote

Why couldn’t McCain look Obama in the eye? In a debate that lasted a little over ninety minutes the senator barely spared him a glance. The Internet is on fire today with people discussing the debate and who argued their points better, but one common question that ties each of them together is McCain’s lack of eye contact with his opponent.
It’s considered common knowledge that people with shifty eyes are considered untrustworthy, deceitful and cowardly. As a matter of a fact, I can’t think of one good saying about people who refuse to make eye contact with others. Not in this country, anyway. So what was the senator trying to accomplish?
Was he trying to unnerve Obama?
Was he ticked off at him about some senate inside business we common people aren’t privy to?
Was he trying to suggest that Obama was beneath him?
We can speculate and never know the answers, but my end verdict is that it was immature, disrespectful and showed some cowardice in McCain that had previously been hidden to us. So You(th) Voters, what do you think?
Why couldn’t McCain look Obama in the eyes during the debate?

It’s thinking like that, that will get you no where in life and it’s part of the reason why WHITES think all blacks are dumb and un educated, giving clueless responses like that:
And tyrone every VOTE count, please go out and vote, It makes me so sick when our people always complianting about the WHITE MAN holding us back and when there is an opportunity for us, as PEOPLE to help make a difference, SOME OF YOU just sit on your ass and do NOTHING, WAKE THE FUC…. UP PEOPLE:
What really pisses me off is that OUR PEOPLE NEVER STICK TOGETHER:
As soon as someone get ahead and going to the top, some people wanna hate, and try to pull that person back down, it’s so FUCK…….ignorant and very sad, when infact all other races help each other and we don’t, the @#%? needs to STOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!All the black on black crime and all that bullshi….
It’s enough of WHITE cops killing our blacks already, DON’T YOU THINK?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OBAMA 08:
BET WHERE MY COMMENT?
This whole election process is BS. You can’t trust none of these politicians. All of them are for the rich that how we got into this mess.
Lyssa,
You are correct, McCain is no angel. He cheated on his wife. He has publicly repented of this sin. He does believe in the sanctity of human life. Abortion has killed over 40 million Americans! Obama supports abortion. Period. A Christian should NEVER vote for a pro-abortion candidate. If both candidates were pro-abortion, then as a Christian, I would not vote.
And yes Greg, I am white. No I am not a racist. My wife is not white. It seems that many people here think that just because you support McCain, that automatically makes you a racist. Please…..!!! I would love for a black man or a hispanic man to be President. I will not support a white or a black man who supports abortion because it is diametrically opposed to the Scriptures. 40 million Americans…. dead. Think about it. There are issues at hand more important than eye contact.
he is very scare please help him
How hypocritical to say you are against abortion because you are pro-life but yet Republicans are the strongest supporters of the death penalty. That makes sense j-dogg!
To Blackman…why do you keep calling your own people, black people, n.i.g.g.e.r.s? You need Jesus. And I don’t care what color Jesus you find, you need him. And to say if your black and don’t vote for obama, you a race traitor really shows exaclty what kind of person you are. Your not even voting for obama b/c you like his views/ideas, you only voting for him b/c he’s black. And that goes for ALL black people. Being’s that you know exaclty how every white person thinks and that we all hate black people, I can also speak for all black people or n.i.g.g.e.r.s as you like to call yourselves…just keepin it real…DOGG
I have yet to meet anyone who is Pro-abortion. This is just a straight out lie. I am pro- choice not pro-abortion. Why can’t you stone head right wingers.get that. With all the things going on in this country, how can you base your vote on taking care of other people personal problems. Just like Kacy said these are the very people who are pro capital punishment. And the first ones to complain about having to take care of those on welfare.
John McCain can’t look Sen. Obama in the eye because he is an angry old man. He feels How dare Obama, with “less experience” come out and challenge me in a presidential campaign and prove me wrong. He continues to act childish and spacey. It was a necessity that he look straight ahead to keep from losing that infamous temper that we have heard so much about. We are the ones who should be angry that he would reach into the bottom of the barrel to pull out that bad apple name Palin. It should be an insult to women and the entire nation to put someone so ill prepared on a ticket as VP. That’s how little respect he has for the American people. He thinks them stupid and so he is rolling the dice and if they elect her, he will have been right. I think that he is in his second childhood. And I can say that because I am 66 myself..
Does this look like a guy who understands “Working class americans”?

Thanx for showing that clip lawrence like Chris Rock said, I’ll go with the guy with one house. The guy with one house is scared about losing his house.”
OBAMA 08
Talk about the life of a celebrity. He should have been on the show MTV cribs. thank you for the clip lawrence.
Does no eye contact mean that McCain is a liar–possibly. Does no eye contact make him a racist? Not necessarily. You can’t just shoot at the mouth and declare the man a racist just because he didn’t make eye contact. Lets not start pulling the race card just yet. ;D
Now, as for people not voting for Obama because he’s black (or half black, however you want to look at it) we as black people have GOT to get over that hump! If we keep thinking with that mentality, we might as well consider the race over and flush Obama’s win down the toilet. Sure, there are many folks out there who are fighting hard to make sure the black man doesn’t get into the white house–that much is clear–but to automatically write the man off at this stage in the game is ludicrous! He got the nomination, didn’t he? He’s still leading in the polls, is he not? So have some faith and support the man already!
Back to this eye contact thing–I noticed it right off the bat, but what I noticed even more was the fact that he play that good ol’ Republican tactic of bashin’ the opponent and sayin’ crap that he thought we wanted to hear. I really wished they had talked more on the economy, though.
J-dogg,
I agree that abortion is a huge issue in our country today. Personally that is why I was for Mccain in the beginning. But the mroe I listened to both candidates more I had to make a decision that would better this nation. Ok, Mccain is pro-life but, we can’t force someone to believe the same way, just like we can’t force someone to believe that capital punishment is right/wrong. It is unconstitutional. Its like trying to force someone to believe in your religion. To sit there and say, ok you are going to have to believe what i believe in, is the worst mistake you can make. If ever there was a way to turn someone against God, that is it. Poeple don’t like having other people’s religions/beliefs forced on them. And in the end it is the decision of the woman who is debating the choices in the first place. Whether she believes in God or not, the decision is hers to make. We as Christians should be reaching out to these women and spreading the word of God and giving them an alternative, NOT outright TELLING them what they’re doing is wrong.
Did you know that 1 in every 5 women who get an abortion claim to born-again or evangelical Christians?
And you are going to tell me that if every Christian voted there would never be a pro-choice president…..
It disheartens me to hear that you would not vote at all if that is what it came to. Our country depends on every person’s vote. Do you really believe that Mccain/Palin are the best candidates? So abortion becomes illegal, but what about healthcare? War? Our economy? The rest of our nation? Put Mccain in the office and Sarah Palin is just a 72-year-old’s heart beat from being the next President of the United States. The woman who believes that her proximity to Russia gives her foriegn policy experience. I’m sorry but the man who would make her his Vice President doesn’t need to be running our country.
