McCain Seems Irritated at Des Moines Register Edit Board Meeting

I think it is a shame that the media is not being fair. They have decided that Obama should win including this station. That makes them bias and NOT being fair on how they present the facts. SHAME on ABC. You are suppose to present the news in truth, not cut to their views.

I think this station, the lying big mouths of the view have lead you stay on truth. Ayers, Wright are important. It shows this stations candidate has awful judgement. He is dangerous to America. He lies about tax credits. 44% of people do not pay taxes so my money is giving to welfare. This station and the lying witches from the view are liars!

First time I saw him in this kind of interview. I'm surprised cause he looks much younger and vital than during the P debate. On the other hand he has a problem controlling his temper. I'm not sure if this is a negative thing. Could be that (from a Dutch point of view) Americans support this attitude.

The media has clearly chosen who they would have win this election, and it is not McCain.
This needs to be put up side by side to other interviews and footage showing the same journalistic habits of attacking the republican ticket on sites like newser and newsy so that it this bias will become more clear to America.

This is how someone with class deals with people who are so obviously biased against him. I think McCain like so many other people are amazed at the level of bias and sometimes yes, even stupidity of the questions asked by him. He still answers the questions but he gets his point across very strongly. I don't think I'm alone in admiring McCain for the person he is. On the boards, less name calling and more sticking to the issues would be nice.

In response to Brooklyn Democrat comment (4th comment @ 12:31) - I too went to school in Iowa. I think you sat next to me in civics class.

OBAMA MEDIA BIAS ... NOW, OBAMA DEBATE BIAS !!!
The nation already is skeptical about the fairness and objectivity of the mainstream media regarding election coverage ... so, why in the world is Gwen Ifill the debate moderator, when she is writing a book about Obama ... especially since her book sales would increase if Obama/Biden win? The moderator in a debate ... especially one of this importance and magnitude ... should be seen as completely fair, objective and above reproach. This is a terrible choice, and could easily have been remedied by choosing from hundreds of other more objective potential moderators. I can imagine the outcry if Michelle Malkin, or Ann Coulter was chosen as the moderator for the first Vice Presidential debate between Sarah Palin and Joe Biden. FURTHERMORE ... Everyone knows that Roland Martin is in the tank for Obama ... and regarding his call for Palin to either 'put up, or shut up' ... for millions of Americans, we still feel that Obama never adequately explained why he chose to spend TWENTY YEARS, yes TWENTY YEARS, in Jeremiah Wright's anti-American, racist, black liberation church, which gave a life time achievement award to Louis Farrakhan, and Obama only quit the church due to public outrage and personal ambition.

Give em' more hell John. No way do you have to take their Liberal bs!!

I watched the video of the interview and I would be irate also. They ask a question, he answers, they don't like his answer so keep asking the question 2 or 3 times with him giving the same answer time and again. I guess they were hoping for a Gotcha moment, but they failed.

Someone should tell McCain he's not running for King. I hope this video gets wide circulation in Iowa. I went to school there...Iowans don't take kindly to "testiness" and can smell hypocricy at 500 paces.

Why does John McCain do that strange thing with his tongue all the time?

Kind of creeps me out - he must have been a Slytherin at Hogwarts.

lol

"Still waiting for someone to ask Obama a tough question."

Kitty, where have you been? Obama came through a gruelling primary where all sorts of tough questions were hurled at him. He went to the O'Reilly Factor, that lions den of conservative ideology, and came out unscathed. Lets face it: Obama is a much better leader than John McCain. And no amount of belly-aching will change that!

When McCain started his campaign for president against Obama, I really expected more out of him based on his promises. But then why in the world would I expect a Repub or any politician to be truthful, but he did say he would run a clean campaign and he hasn't. His ads are ugly, not issue based in many cases and are just ugly attack ads full of lies. I did not expect that from him. So much for honor.

Sounded decisive to me.

Still waiting for anybody to ask Obama anything like a tough question.

American press is definitely the biggest loser out of this election, the coverage of the primaries was hopelessly biased (I ended up feeling sorry for Hillary even though as a politician I dont like her)and it has become even worse since.

I don't see McCain as being angry, the questions are a little one sided and you can obviously tell who these editors are supporting (it isn't McCain) As for question number 3, that is just stupid, he is a vet and has had and always will have taxpayer financed health care, part of the deal. Sounds like a bunch of people trying to make something of nothing.

My suggestions for questions to Palin during the debate:

1. Who was the first president of the United States?

I would give her an extra 5 minutes to come up with the answer.

2. What state is named after the first president of the United States?

Limit this one to 5 minutes.

FYI - The military in Alaska is under the command of Alaskan Command who is under the direct command of U.S. Pacific Command in Hawaii. I was stationed at PACOM from 1994 until I retired from the military in 1999.
Palin is full of it!

Jake, nobody made an issue of Bill Clinton's lack of foreign policy non-experience, nor other presidents before him. In fact, very few presidents who were elected to office had little to none foreign policy experience. Why don't you do a few article on this topic and stop making such an issue of it yourself.

I think that he gets tired of the same stupid questions and that 0bama gets none of these questions when applied to himself ..... but hey. Just an observation.

Concerned Democrat - Right, you're as much a Democrat as I am a pinhead republican.

I have been a republican all my life and love the flag, my gun and cigarettes. I have spent my entire life taking care of myself. I am a disciple of self. Self interest, self importance, self denial and self destruction. Did I mention that I can be conned by my party and will say and do anything to get my candidate elected. Heck I don't even care that my party would rig the election, because the ends always justify the means.

I am here to say that bush is a moron, mccain is a senile moron and pallin is a small-town hick moron. In this election I am voting for Obama because I have seen the light and had a change of heart.

Sen. McCain has to prove that he is different from George Bush. It is very very hard to do if you supported him more than 75% of the time. He gained some by voting that way. Now he must stand up and be prepared to pay for it.
