McCains Freudian Slip during the last debate

That's my take on it.

I agree in all respects with this post. On the point of what McCain said, I too heard "...before the intervention of the tragedy at Dallas..." This makes sense too in the context of what he was talking about. Although the video starts in the middle of his remarks, he appears to be talking about an invitation to debate Obama, and he contrasted Obama's ostensible unwillingess to debate, with Kenndy's willingness to debate, which debate did not ocurr because of "the intervention of the tragedy at Dallas."

Was he merely making an historical observation? Was there a hidden message in his remark? We can speculate, but I think he was merely trying to wax smart. McCain and Obama are both cut from the same block. Witness their recent "roast" in the company of many Democrats and Republican big shots, with Cardinale Egan sitting between them.

That's my 2 cents.
