At least McCain has a sense of humor. Obama takes himself too seriously and don't even dare to face his opponents in debates.

Correction to my previous missive:

Presidential candidates do not debate until after they have been won the nomination of their parties.

By the way, Toots McGee, Senator McCain did not rat out his fellow P.O.W.'s. As much as I dislike the man, giving and signing false confessions as a way of avoiding torture was a common practice during Vietnam, if not most wars of the past century, and is allowable under the Geneva Convention.

McCain's a good sport. Obama comes across as a starched shirt; an empty starched shirt

McHothead is trigger-happy.
Not a jokester

''The vice president only has two duties... The other duty is to inquire daily as to the health of the president.'"...McCain responded, "And that job will be very, very important with my vice president!"

Is McCain hinting a doctor as his VP?

I do not hold any human mistakes the candidates made against them -- I wouldn't want someone going through my past. Now, on personality, Obama is serious; McCain is funny and, many times, inappropriate with his comments. I want a serious, intelligent, fact-finding President who will listen to all sides. McCain reminds me of someone with "frat boy" intelligence who shoots from the hip and that is what we have now and look where this country is today. Time for a President who is serious, thoughtul and a 21st century type of a guy -- one who won't tap dance on the White House stairs.

Wow, those folks who don't get the McCain and Republican company's brand of humor must be a bunch of whiners who have psychological problems stemming from a mental recession. They really should seek some Democratic help to get another life.

To me, few things are more pathetic than a humorless person...and that includes one who happens to be running for president.

Interesting how displaying a sense of humor is considered a flaw in some cases but not in others. Clinton cracked jokes and his partisans loved it. I have a suspicion those are the people who now disapprove of McCain doing the same thing.

I also find it interesting that making jokes on a late night talk show proves beyond a doubt the man is not "serious, intelligent, fact finding." I fail to see how joking around on a late night talk/comedy show is "inappropriate." That's what they do on those shows.

Mccain wouldn't have time to tell jokes if the media would take the microscope off of Obama and reported to the public that Mccains economic advisor Phil Graham who called Americans, "A nation of Whinners" also worked on Mccain tax policies while the Chairman of USB Bank. The controversial USB Bank that helped wealthy Americans evade billions of dollars in taxes leaving the hardworking middle class shouldering the burden. We'll that explains why Mccain's tax policies designed by Graham give the wealthiest Americans tax credits. As much as I heard the comments the Nation of Whinners I never knew that Phil Graham was the Chairman of the USB Bank. Now this is a perfect example of how much the media focuses on Obama and hangs on to his every word while the Mccain camps get away with conspiracies like this. Phil Graham = Tax loop holes for the Wealthiest Americans and John Mccain signed on to the program but talks about how he understand how Americans are suffering due to the our failing economy. What more does it take for anybody to see what a fraud Mccain really is?

i heard a lot of people say george bush had a good sense of humor

it is obviously really important to have a president with a sense of humor because that makes them a good president

ie george w bush

mccain has a good sense of humor. obama's words and campaign are very creepy.
im not saying he would be a dictator if elected but he does sound like one!

Now Now Children. This bickering is so silly. Be grateful that for the first time in a long time you actually have a choice between two very good candidates. Either McCain or Obama will be good for the U.S. But in my humble opinion Obama would be the better of the two if only because his thinking is more forward than McCains. Most of Europe and for that matter the rest of the world would agree with that.

At least comics could have some fun with Mccain.

It is past 8 PM and McBush is still up??? He needs to drink his glass of warm milk and get to bed..

While it is nice that McCain has a sense of humor, I would think that the constant attention to his age must be tiring. He's old, we get it. His problem is that he thinks by joking about it we'll all forget it. The problem is that it is a real concern for some. Just like Obama's "youth and inexperience" is a problem for Obama.

And if you don't think McCain has slowed down, just look at his speeches and his quicker thinking 8 years ago. Unfortunately for McCain, he doesn't have Reagan's charisma where he can dismiss his age with a wink and a smile.

Cheap set jokes are not indicative
of a sense of humor.

McCain has no sense of humor.
He's not presidential.

The old geezer probably did fall asleep…LOL

Love the wording on this, has anyone seen the words "presumptive nominee" in front of Obama. As usual ABC, showing your bias.

I am glad that McCain has a sense of humor, he is going to need that trait? Given that he has no viable plans for the Economy since his Economics Guru(Gramm) was tossed under the bus. Who is going to help McCain with his letters & numbers? That many Americans thought he was better on International Affairs, is now taking a death knell hit, considering the facts that The Bush administration leeked an email that Iraqui PM Maliki favors a withdrawal of 16 months or less, the Bush Admin. is now contemplating a withdrawal in the near horizon, meetings with top Iranian Diplomat and Bush & McSame following Obama's strategy for Afghanistan. It seems McLame has lost his last chance to use the naive attack.

I suggest that McBush take the job of Ambassador to Czechoslovakia!
There he could do no harm.

What do you expect from Republicans. I mean...Bush continued to read "MY PET GOAT" while he was told America was under attack, McCain must take his nap after dinner even if we are under attack. Where do they get these guys from?
