McCain sure lost the debate
| Fri, 09-26-2008 - 10:43pm |
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",

>>> That might have been McCains opinion but I didn't hear Obama resorting to name calling.
What names what Obama going to call McCain..."experienced"..."informed"...?
>>> Obama never even called McCain a liar - he would simply say "that's not true"
Obama would have looked foolish calling McCain a liar when McCain hadn't lied.
>>> Instead of calling Obama naive he could've said "I disagree" it just made him look immature in addition to not being able to look at Obama.
First, the left seems to make a big deal out of McCain not "looking" at Obama...even though a quick peek at the debate will show that Obama spend the VAST majority of the time looking just where McCain was looking...at Leher and the audience. McCain was speaking to America, not Obama, so it was appropriate that he make is case to the people, which he did.
Second, I don't think it was simply a matter of McCain "disagreeing" with Obama on several foreign policy issues. Obama didn't simply have an opposing point of view, Obama's position was, in fact, naive...and as McCain and Kissinger stated..."dangerous." It was entirely appropriate for McCain to point out the character and judgment faults of a candidate seeking the Presidency as well as contradicting him on policy.
>>> IMHO Obama looked more presidential even though neither was able to knock the other out.
IMHO, it looked like a clash of experience and book learning...and McCain's experience of "being there" trumps Obama's flashy smile and rhetoric any day.
Here's the link to Fox news where they report that Obama beat McCain in the debate.

I'm sure you won't apologize to the other people on this board for your nastiness, but it sure would be nice.
>>If Obama is elected it will be another 4 years of NOTHING, because Obama and the Republicans will NEVER agree.<<
Do you think that McCain and the democrats will agree on ANYTHING? Do you think McCain will be more apt to reach out to the left to have a bipartisan 4 years?
