Didn't it seem like John McCain looked just a little TOO angry during the final debate?

I watched the debate last Wednesday and as unbiased as I tried to be, I couldn't get past how PISSED OFF McCain looked. Does he have some anger management problems or what? I couldn't even really focus on what he was saying because he just looked like he wanted to punch somebody and it made me uneasy. Check this out, it's funny:

Sure, America's pissed at Washington. But that dark stare isn't gonna win any swing voters over, is it?
 
With all the disasters and mis-steps his campaign has made, I'm not surprised he's angry.
 
He was just doing what his advisers told him to do. He's down in the polls and every news channel said he needed to attack Obama. So he did. He looked awkward doing it and Obama kept his cool. I'd like to see a Bush/McCain cartoon! I think it'd be funny!
 
I love the eyes how the open real wild and wide. Poor old guy. He can't believe he is losing...again.
 
He reminded me of Bob Dole when he and Bill Clinton debated. Dole kept saying things about Clinton smoking pot and Clinton came right back with "yeah but this is what I've done in the White House". Clinton went on to get re-elected. Go figure.
 
McCain is beginnging to remind me of Elmer Fudd hunting Bugs Bunny with his shotgun. After a few misses that end up with the gun exploding in his face he becomes so angry he goes bonkers while Bugs calmly watches and says - "Eh, what's up Doc?"

Well he's made some bad decisions and I'm sure he's regretting them now. The big problem for McCain is after hwe looses this election he goes back to the senate. They aren't going to take kindly to his smear tactics there - especially after the NeoCons are thrown out.
 
There seems to be a difference between going negative in ads and stumps (which seems to work) and going negative in person (which makes you look like a butt hole) that McCain's campaign neglected to factor in.
 
nobody mentioned during the debate that John McCain has known terrorist associations, and has been known to have performed some radical leftist operations thirty years ago.
he's a terrorist.
 
I was angry that Obama wasnt angry. Atleast he showed some passion. Obama was studdering when he wasnt looking sleepy.
 
McCain made a huge mistake in appealing to his base. Swing voters were not impressed. We all pull for our own guy (mine is Obama) but I always watch the polls of swing voters after debates.
 
Only stupid liberals are trying to spread rumor that he was mad or pissed off..Any honest everyday average person would not think anything like that who watched the debates. He was very Presidential like. This is the garbage politics junk people hate. Instead of focusing on the real issues of the debate, lefties always try to find some emotional aspect to talk about....What a bunch of losers.
 
Actually, he seemed much angrier in the firs debate -- smirking and condescending, not looking once at Obama, saying about 7 times that Obama did nit "understand" and several times that he was "naive." It made him seem quite unpresidential and ill-tempered. He improved a bit the 2nd time, and this week he was almost acceptable. So his final debate was his best -- but not best enough!

OBAMA/BIDEN '08!!!
 
It was a deliberate strategy. His strategists thought he'd come off too namby-pamby in the first two debates and wanted to see him a little more aggressive.

When you're behind, you have to try stuff like that. Desperate situations call for desperate measures. Picking Sarah Palin was a desperate measure. And it worked, sort of. It knocked Obama out of the headlines for a few days, it even made people forget about McCain for a while. But this close to the election, this far behind still, the McCain people were ready to try more risky moves.
