McCain sure lost the debate

Commentators pointing out how McCain never looked at Obama, seemed to be looking for a fight, kept saying Obama doesn't understand - then Obama looked at McCain, looked at camera and spoke to people at home, and showed McCain over and over that he DOES understand.


The bracelet - loved how Obama retorted "I have my own bracelet",

McCain doesn't even know Kissinger's position - his own advisor!

"The claim: Obama was put on the defensive by McCain for saying the United States should be willing to talk to Iran without preconditions. In response, Obama said former secretary of State Henry Kissinger endorsed his position. McCain said Kissinger did not mean president-to-president talks.

The facts: Kissinger said in a CNN interview that aired Sept. 20: "I am in favor of negotiating with Iran." He said he would do it at a very high level almost immediately. "I actually have preferred doing it at the secretary of State level," he said. As for conditions, he said: "But I do not believe that we can make conditions for the opening of negotiations. We ought, however, to be very clear about the content of negotiations and work it out with other countries and with our own government."

You can read the transcript of Kissinger's remarks here: http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0809/20/se.01.html"

Interesting!

Didn't you hear how many times O had to say, "That's not true..that's not true..that's not true John" and also to Jim after going over a point again and adding, "And John knows that", speaking again of another lie.

ITA, he was just being so smug, calling Obama naive. It was so condescending. It was like he kept saying that thinking if we all hear it enough we'll believe it.

Obama did say that isn't true that isn't true John...but then didn't refute what McCain said.
