in case you missed it, at some point during the second debate last night, mccain referred to obama as "that one". obviously, in defense of the cranky old man, it does sound like a typical thing a grumpy old man would say to tell kids to get off the lawn. i just dont think that kind of archaic colloquialism fits with the younger generation.
my eyebrows raised when i heard mccain say it. i gotta give mccain the benefit of the doubt but at the same time i just rarely hear people say stuff like that in normal conversations. i guess that's why it came off as disrespectful, mean, and possibly subtly racist...
well, there's already a thatone08.com website setup by some obama fan late last night, which i thought was hilarious. click on the button above to that website.
watch the "that one" reference here:
