He reminded of the bully on the block gloating over his strength and prowess during and after some of his comments. Frankly, I think this all goes toward McCain's lack of leadership. Leaders don't gloat. He has not been a governmental leader or anything beyond what would be considered a first line manager. Yet, he expects voters to consider him prime Presidential material. I've also got reservations about his involvement in the Keating scandal years ago. That was a real mess and shows a lack of judgment.
