So, stammering, hedging, confused Obama would not embarass Mr. Cafferty.  Is he suggesting that "hope and change to socialism, above my pay grade, fifty-seven states, having a baby is punishment," Obama-deema-dama along with wife (America sucks) Michelle-ma-belle, would not embarass him? 

There's a reason Cafferty has low ratings--an no rating from me--to find what is embarassing, maybe he should study the reflection that can be found in a clean window as he passes by on a sidewalk anywhere in America. 

Liberalism is a convenient lie.

Cnn  had to apologize.

John McCain 2008 Protect Traditional Marriage

Traditional Marriage is not "Divisive" Obama.

So Cafferty is tired of being embarassed by our current President? What he means is ---- he's tired of our current "dufus" President running circles around and winning each and every battle with Congress, our allies, and our enemies. And that, to Cafferty, is very, very embarassing.

Cafferty, like all liberals, simply doesn't like anyone who doesn't check in with the MSM before decisions are made. And when those decisions turn out to be winning decisions, it drives them crazy. I love it. Sorry, crazy Cafferty -- get used to it. Obama is not going to be the next U.S. President.

Unless he's reciting talking points or reading from notes or a TelePrompTer, John McCain is lost.

Are you sure you didn't mean Barack Obama, Jack??

What is disturbing is that this idiot certainly did not ocme up with this idea in a vacuum.

It was pored over by layers of Deciding Editors who verified that they wanted these words over the air.

Coup anyone?

Jack the Hack Cafferty is just bitter.  The only time I have purposely seen him on CNN (that channel is banned in my household) was shortly after Hurrican Katrina hit land (just days after).  He whined about how terrible things were and that it was all President Bush's fault.  He used to be on as a news anchor on Channel 9 (I think it is WWOR) in Secaucus, NJ.

Bitter Jack should find some ratings cause CNN is going down.

Cafferty believes that when discussing moral questions, one should pause and stammer, because that shows "thoughtfulness." If you give a straight answer right away, according to Cafferty, you must be reading from a canned script. That's not intellect. That's stage direction.

Someone who has experience with moral questions doesn't always have to pause to think about it. The whole point of having experience, after all, is that you don't waste time on unnecesary issues. When you have experience, you don't have to audition every possibility, starting from scratch every time. You already know which things are irrelevant but which other things are important. That "already knowing" is what experience is.

It's true that quick answers are almost always wrong ... but only when it's the first time you confront an issue. After you've confronted an issue many times (as McCain has, for years) then a quick answer is to be expected. When Einstein first confronted the idea of relativity, he probably stroked his chin a little; but thirty years later, he could rattle off relativity with zero hesitation.

Cafferty is openly admitting that he falls for the surface imagery of being an intellectual, but he doesn't grasp what the substance is.

When you figure the left has collected and spent durn near half a billion bucks and this is the lame thing they want to push???!!!

Quite a brain trust that they have going on over there.

If he had to work alone, he'd be a man short!

Cafferty is one of the most intellectually shallow people around. He can't even differentiate "personal" questions from "general" ones.

Case in point: His insistence that McCain showed a lack of understanding by answering a personal question with a personal answer. Apparently Cafferty believes that personal questions should always be answered with generalities. But who is the one that is actually displaying a lack of understanding? Here's a hint; it isn't McCain.

"When asked what his Christian faith means to him, his answer was a one-liner. "It means I'm saved and forgiven." Great scholars have wrestled with the meaning of faith for centuries."

Hay Cafferty, McCain was asked a personal question as to what his faith means to him, personally. Those "great scholars" you cite pondered the meaning of faith itself, in general. You do understand the difference, don’t you? If not, then I suggest you go back to school, as you are definitely “intellectually deficient.”

These self-deluded pretentious liberals - they accept moral confusion as intellectual "complexity", label it as "thoughtfulness" and declare it "superior"... 

McNotObama '08

Public speaking is 75 percent pose, 25 percent prose. A public appearance is just that, an appearance. And, in a public setting, appearance is The King. The statements or answers themselves are far less important that how they are delivered.

Obama has been described as an excellent public orator, a Great Communicator (Like Reagan), but this is a false impression (created mostly by his campaign and the MSM) which is used to disguise the fact that Obama is really a terrible public speaker. Reading aloud from a teleprompter, like reading a prepared speech verbatim, is NOT public oration, but is, instead, public mimicry. He’s not communicating his own words and ideas; he’s repeating the words and ideas of others.

On his own, and without prior assistance, Obama constantly falls back on using tricks like hesitation, misdirection, and deflection in order to avoid answering simple questions and conveying simple concepts. This is because Obama really doesn't know how to effectively convey those concepts and answer those questions publicly without prior assistance and coaching, especially as he know that the ideals (concepts) he actually believes in are contrary to the general population’s beliefs and ideals.

President Bush has a similar problem with public oration even though his beliefs and ideals generally mirror the population as a whole. Yet, despite his alignment with the general population, the same people who describe HIM as a bumbling idiot due to his inherent limitations at public oration also describe Obama as a veritable genius for displaying those same limitations! Is this evidence of bias? You bet it is!

On Edit: That's misdirection and not indirection.

Darn. For a minute there I thought he was talking about Jimmy Carter.

Never mind.
