McClone being booed on MSNBC

[Happyhippychick]

tune in and watch!

[WeDidIt]

1. FEED THE CUBE RATS!

What is he being booed over?

[Happyhippychick]

5. You know what? It might be that they were booing the idea of higher taxes

but he is such an awkward speaker that people react 10 seconds after he finishes a sentence and he stands there like an idiot.

I have replayed the booing clip and I can't figure out what they are booing.

[saltpoint]

18. I like the idea of voters booing McCain just on general principles.

[ErinBerin84]

2. painful as usual.

he would be better off just cutting out the gestures too.

edit: see, he keeps accidentally hitting the microphone with his hands.

[Doityourself]

7. LOL..at Freeperville..they talk about his grin all the time..say its creepy, etc. lol i luv it

[oviedodem]

3. He tried to hit Obama on NAFTA looking for an applause... got NONE!

[uponit7771]

4. He's not a good speaker, they should stop trying and let him be himself. If he says "my friends"...

...I'll scream

[Doityourself]

8. He really does suck as a public speaker..and I mean SUCK

[uponit7771]

11. No cadence, bad communication with audience, no control of pace...he SOUNDS like he's reading from

...a prompter like most senators do.

[Bill219]

16. Not to mention...

those jerky hand movements at the wrong time during his speeches when he is trying to emphasize something

[panAmerican]

34. {sigh} - he can't help the jerky hand movements!

That happens when your arm breaks and doesn't heal properly, ya know?!

[tishaLA]

23. It's the perpetual engagement with the teleprompter that makes me crazy

it's like he just forgets there's an audience out there. He goes from teleprompter left, to teleprompter center, to teleprompter right, and back again. He's a horrible speaker.

[bobbert]

6. Am I a middle fass american?

I'm trying to figure out what that is. Plus he said he'll make sure my business pays less taxes. How many americans own businesses again?

[oviedodem]

9. This idiot is proposing TWO! tax codes, we can hardly handle the one we have.

Trying to hard to consolidate his base.

[JimGinPA]

10. Sounded Like They Were Booing A Protester nt

[oviedodem]

15. No, you can tell from McCain's reaction that he is the one under fire.

[oviedodem]

12. He is against the raising of minimum wage. No universal health care, we all knew that but

he goes further to say that he will offer a tax credit for health care. Basically, he is saying that if you work for a small business you can buy personal HC. What this will do is make Small business not have to provide healthcare.

DUMBEST SHIT EVER!!

[uponit7771]

17. Not only that he's not telling us where he's going to get 5000$ per 250 million US citizen! THAT's..

...what his website is saying he's offering.

I like Obama's plan because he's not saying he's going to give the insurance free but lower the cost by having people pay into efficient medicare

[flpoljunkie]

31. $5,000 credit would be for a "Medical Savings Account," Newt Gingrich's baby!

These accounts are for catastrophic coverage for those who do not need health insurance.

[ErinBerin84]

13. oh god

keep talking about the "offenders of the housing crisis", Jonny boy, I double dog dare ya.

[uponit7771]

14. Obama should ask America if they think Big Insurance & Big Pharma is there to help them

[AuntPatsy]

19. I will veto every "beer" that comes across my table...slip of the tongue

[ErinBerin84]

21. that's what it sounded like to me too.

"I will make the person who created that bill FAMOUS!!" or something like that.

[grantcart]

20. There were 3 interuptions by anti war protestors that were not shown on camera

they were booing the protestors.

McCain did not handle the interuptions particularly well but the crowd is sympathetic to him.


Everything settled down and McCain proceeded to put everyone to sleep.


One thing that is noteworthy he surprisingly attacked Obama for wanting to renegotiate NAFTA - can't see any upside there.


He did go on and say that he will be proposing more tax cuts and IRS reforms but he also said that they have no chance to get it passed by Congress.



Hard to see how they are going to get much of a sound bite out of this one.

[wileedog]

27. That's funny

"He did go on and say that he will be proposing more tax cuts and IRS reforms but he also said that they have no chance to get it passed by Congress."

Here's my proposed plan which I will never ever be able to enact. Vote for me!

[onetwo]

22. "I WILL VETO EVERY BEER!"

Another reason not to vote McCain!!!!!!!!!1111111111

[Happyhippychick]

24. NO JOHN!!! THEN YOUR WIFE WILL LOSE HER GIANT INHERITANCE!!!!

[onetwo]

32. LOL, maybe there was something behind that slip? ;)

[grantcart]

35. that took about 8 minutes to get going on youtube lol

[ecstatic]

25. Why is MSM carrying his ENTIRE speech? Will they do the same for Obama??? nt

[uponit7771]

26. As speaker he sounds like a knock off, uninspiring and made up. He should stick to what he knows

[tishaLA]

28. "partishinship in Warshington"

He is almost as bad as the chimp.

OMG now a John Philips Souza march or something. Does it get worse?

[CanonRay]

29. This is why they need free speech zones.

You kids get offa the lawn.

[uponit7771]

30. WOW!!! BIG DOOR OBAMA!!! McSame: "...Don't renegotiate NAFTA..."

[seasat]

33. That'll play great in Michigan and Ohio

http://articles.latimes.com/2008/mar/01/nation/na-mccain1">John McCain will lose both of those states with that approach.
