I missed it due to a graduate class :( so I wondered if anyone else had seen it. I was surprised not to see anything posted here about it. If you did watch it what did you think? Good? Bad? Valuable info? Waste of time? Are you planning to watch McCain later tonight?

We didn't see anything new. It was the same propaganda that has been plastered all over the TV constantly. Luckily I have TIVO, and can fast forward through.... He does look much better in FF mode, though...

I think he wasted his money. I was really worried about this, but I'm not understanding his strategy. He could have really made an impact, but instead, chose to do more of the same. I am relieved.

Yess, I hear ya. Ours just went up 50.00 a month, so my DH pays 4,500 a year for ours. Plus he isn't getting overtime to counteract the increases. I would rather pay that much more in tax,375 a month and have the Cadallic Health care we pay for our elected officials to have.

A waste of millions and millions of dollars that could have gone to help those poor people instead of making spectacles of them.


I keep hearing this, but, the truth is, people contributed their money to Obama's campaign.

You know, I agree with you here. If he wasn't going to do anything different from what he is already doing = over, and over, and over again, why waste that much money? It was so incredibly wasteful, imo. The Democrats just don't seem to understand wasteful spending, and it's so evident with an "event" like this one.

I was frankly surprised to see, also, that with all his personal millions, he gives less than 3% to charity = yet he wants US to give and give and give.

It's just propaganda. He knows he doesn't have that power (and I highly doubt that he wants it), but the people he is speaking to WANT the president to have that power. That line polled well, so he uses it. That's politics. Fool the uninformed.

Apparently his wealthy donors came up with a way to scam the system. They just put in fake names and donate millions - $35.00 at a time...
