early on- Obama's race
later on- McCain's age
I don't think that either was a big issue for voters and I'm glad. I actually think Obama was and is too young. Only arrogance would allow someone to think that they should be the most powerful person in the world at age 46. McCain didn't appear to be quite 72 either. He seemed more like a man in his 60's.
Oh yeah, because James Polk, Ulysses S. Grant, Grover Cleveland, Theodore Roosevelt, John F. Kennedy, and Bill Clinton were all terribly arrogant and young...Oh wait, no, they were some of the greatest leaders in American history...Mistake on your part.
Seriously, don't say things this bone-headed and arrogant unless you expect to be called out on them.
Lol just about everthing he says is just how you described him.
