What was obviously disrespectful to both Senator Obama and the American public is that Senator McCain did not look Obama in the face. I think more than anything else, Obama was trying to engage in a conversation with McCain, in which McCain refused to respond. Nobody knows where Obama was coming from when he called him John. He may have been being disrespectful, he may have meant nothing by it at all. But can you deny that it's disrespectful to not look at the person you are debating? Reverend Young,

After asking permission of course... But I agree with your point. Yes Kevin, but remember that Governor Palin also referred to Senator Biden as “Joe”.
