Not a Obama fan ... but I think this debate thing has gone way overboard. What is the current count ... 20 plus?
By my count, there hasn’t been a single presidential debate since the 1980s. Every other “debate” has been canned questions and answers, but nothing that resembles a real debate. A real debate would require candidates to state a resolution, then defend it from a counterstatement from the other candidate. The alternative would be for debaters to qustion eachother. What we have now is bread and circuses. Every tough question is left without a follow up. The only exception was when Obama was drilled about the capital gains tax (and he clearly showed he had no idea what he was talking about).
Instead of asking whether Obama ever supported a gun ban in Illinois, ask him if he supports a national gun ban now (he does). What is his position on abortion? Partial birth abortion? How, exactly did Bush “fail” in dealing with Iran’s nuclear ambitions? Would Hillary or Obama have offered to sacrifice Israel? Obama also did not commit to use of force if Israel were threatened—why was he left off the hook with his “appropriate response” answer? What did that mean? Would he or would he not use force? At least Hillary made it clear that she would respond with “massive retaliation”.
All of these debates have been a joke.
I don’t blame him for not debating “the-one who-will-not-be-named-in-my-home”.
I was able to stomach about 20 minutes of the “debate” the other night and for all intent and purposes it seemed to me like a total hit job by Hil…….oops and her minions in the alphabet media.
She has nothing to lose and everything to win (even typing that makes me shiver).
What I gleaned from Obewan the other night was that he does not know how to finish off an enemy or is to stupid to understand what he is up against.
Either way, not what I would call presidential.
Oh no. I think the debates are FINALLY getting around to showing the American public what Obama is really all about (radical socialism, anti-American, etc.).
Let him keep tripping over himself and his numbers will fall, fall, fall.
