Yeah, that was what I read...racism never entered my mind, and I seriously doubt it entered McCains.
That is the one thing I really really hate about this election. Racism is assigned as a motive for everything....
My grandmother said 'that one' a lot. My mother also. Usually, the implication is that the person is a troublemaker or scoundrel or mischief maker... I have frequently been "that one" in my life. Usually it is said with eyebrows raised and an eye point. Who started the fight? That one. Who ate all the biscotti? That one....fond memories of my grandmother. I think that is why I thought it was funny..Obama certainly does cause trouble for McCain...

He also repeats himself..very annoying...
I read a blog today about the debate and apparently there is controversy
about him saying "that one" in reference to Obama. I thought it was
funny at the time...a way of bringing humor into the debate, but I guess
not everyone thought so.

I didn't think that. I just thought he had a space out moment and
couldn't remember Obama's name. I can see why some people would think
it was racist, but I don't think it was.
