Anyone else notice the diff between McCain's speech and Obama's

[Rude Horner]

When McCain mentioned Obama in his concession speech, the crowd booed. When Obama mentioned McCain, the crowd politely clapped.

Those are the supporters that John McCain said he was proud of. Classless to the very end.

1. Well we should give McCain a little credit he did try to quiet them

His speech was gracious and respectful of Obama. The Palin sheep...not much he could do about them.

3. I give McCain very little credit

I agree...he did try to quiet them. NOW. But I blame him and Sara Palin for giving his crowds that attitude in the first place. Spreading their filth and lies. Leading their followers to believe that Obama was a lot of horrible things.

So yeah, they can say he was "gracious" in defeat all they want, but his campaign was pure filth.

4. What I noticed most is that McCain almost walked right by

Cindy without touching her. He did sort of hug her then, but without using his arms at all. He just leaned into her and let her put her arms gingerly around him for a brief moment. Then they put a significant distance between them as they stepped forward to face the crowd. As they went off the stage, McCain very, very briefly acknowledged his mother, but Cindy walked right past her without even glancing down at her, much less greeting her or touching her.

When the Obamas were on stage, they were always hugging each other tightly, looking into each other's eyes and touching, and I could read Michelle's lips saying, "I love you" as they hugged. They kept checking in with and being affectionate with their daughters, and when the Bidens and Michelle's family came on stage, they were all very huggy and affectionate. Then, as they left the stage, Michelle and Barack were totally enchanted by Biden's youngest granddaughter. They kept looking down at her and smiling widely, commenting to each other about how adorable she was.

It is obvious to me that there is a lot of genuine love and sweetness there in the Obama/Biden group, but that the McCains are physically uncomfortable in each other's presence and in the presence of others. I was amazed to see Cindy walk right past her mother-in-law as if she were invisible, without even glancing at her. I have long noticed that the McCain's seem stiff and uncomfortable around each other.

5. Body language can tell an interesting story can't it?
