Wouldn't someone that is inspiring at least be perceived as being honest? For McCain, all the responses seem "normal" except for the last. How is there a tie between being moral/good and dishonest? Very contradictory if you ask me. And you are right about the Muslim remark. It probably has to do with people not really being informed about who Obama is, and since his name sounds like Osama, an uninformed person might make the connection. That could possibly explain the dishonest and not likable responses given as well.

I am a bit surprised that the word "Muslim" even came up with Obama; I don't particularly like him as a candidate but thinking of him as a Muslim smacks of being mis-informed. Also, "dishonest" and "not likable" was a bit of a surprise. McCain got "old" as the first word that comes to mind is not much of a surprise. Wow!
