Or am I mistaken and didn’t hear it correctly?
“I’ve got a bracelet too” (But I’ve never looked at it before and I don’t know the name of the fallen hero that is on it).
bttt
I really don’t get the whole argument that we’ve taken our eyes off the ball. What, do they expect us to put a half a million troops in the mountains of Pakistan? Did they expect us to invade Afghanistan and then say, “Well, that’s all taken care of.”?
That Roosevelt bought houses during the Great Depression? WTH? Someone has to look that up, but it doesn’t sound right.
No I heard him say that too. He did say that the Bush administration was focused for eight years in Iraq.
Cheers
Yes that’s exactly what they wanted us to do. They wanted us to invade Afghanistan after 9/11, but, they wanted our military action limited to catching Bin Laden. I think Obama mentioned Bin Laden about 8 times tonight. They wanted us to only go to Afghanistan, and not follow Al Qaeda if they turned up in other places.
So true.
Afghanistan and especially the Taliban was the FIRST country that America made pay for 9/11.
Then we trusted NATO to do a decent job. Last I checked the Germans aren’t even allowed to shoot their weapons.
Anytime America isn’t in charge of the military, there are problems.
Orgy.
Wasn’t Odumbo the one just earlier this week stating that a President should be able to multitask?
"the shining beacon on a hill"
The manchild should have stated the stats on how many Al Qaeda terrorists have been killed in Iraq. I don’t give a s-— WHERE we kill them, as long as we kill them. Iraq..Afghanistan. Who cares. Just kill them. Also. His namesake, Obama bin Laden IS DEAD!!!!!
Blamed the whole debt mess on Bush when we know most of the blame, 90%, should be on the Democrats passing bad laws.
If Bush concentrated only on Iraq..how come the people in Africa love him? How come the PM of India just praised him?
How come a bunch of dictators go on the tube every day and diss him?
Obama’s “I have a Bracelet” line already up on youtube - crystal clear he had no clue whose name was on it. he has to read it.

MCCAIN should have challenged him - he didn’t.
In a sense this was a pillow fight excewpt towards the end.
Roosevelt had many public works projects that bought up existing housing, eventually demolished it, and then put a highway thru, or public housing, or a monument to some senator’s mommy whose vote he needed. There were also pilot public housing projects. And people engineering projects.
And he had a great program for housing the Japanese.
That was funny when he fumbled over the name of the Sargeant, wasn’t it?
I heard that too. The Depression started with Hoover in office.
FACT check please!
Misquoting Kissinger to McCain about negotiating with Iran with out preconditions!!! what an *ss hat
Did I see a glint of a little earphone in the Obamer’s ear?
Obama said he warned the Bush administration last year about the coming debt crisis that is happening now.
???
Can he back this up? He’s blowing smoke up your....
“We're fighting two wars, one in Iraq and one in Afghanistan”
“There was no al Qaeda in Iraq before we started the war there”
“We need to give Iraq their country back”
“The surge was a tactic but the strategy question is whether we should have been there”
“John McCain doesn't care about Afghanistan...ADM Muller supports my view that we need more troops there”
“I was the first to say Russia needed to cease its invasion of Georgia”
“I was opposed to the war in Iraq 6 years ago when it was politically risky to be...”
“I never said I would sit down with Ahmadinejad without preconditions.....besides, he's not the most powerful man in Iran”
"In 2007 I wrote a letter to the administration warning them of the problems in the financial system..."
There are Rumanians, Georgians, Lithuanians, Latvians, Ukranians, even Uzbekistanis who are ready to do the job.
Sen McCain: Senator Obama is the chairperson of a committee that oversights NATO that’s in Afghanistan. To this day, he has never had a hearing.
Obama: (Joe Biden says I don’t have to hold a meeting...Wahhhhh....I’m calling my big brother....Wahhhhh)
OBAMA: Look, I’m very proud of my vice presidential selection, Joe Biden, who is the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and as he explains, and as John well knows, the issues of Afghanistan, the issues of Iraq, critical issues like that, don’t go through my subcommittee because they’re done as a committee as a whole.
What a bunch of baloney. I was at church and missed the first part of it — so I didn’t hear that. Will have to watch the first half.
Did Obama really do that much better on the economy? I know he kept talking about
(tired words)
education
health care
programs
BARF!
He said that 98% of Americans would receive a tax cut in his administration. Did he say Americans or American taxpayers?
Either way it is a lie. He wants the present tax cuts to expire which would raise everyone's taxes.
Since a majority of Americans pay no federal income tax what does he mean?
Does he mean that 98% of Americans that pay federal taxes would would get a cut but 2% would see an increase?
He has been a far left radical for his entire history and now we are supposed to believe that he is a sensible moderate because he had his hair styled and colored, didn't stutter and lied well?
Was it “Orgy of Spending”? I heard it, but didn’t register the context.
I caught that one. It’ll surely get picked up by someone soon.
I agree. Al Quaeda WAS and still IS the main target.
Senator Obama just doesn’t understand that, does he? LOL!
How many times did McCain use that line on him. I laughed and laughed.
And the Clintonesque ideas.
Then, Obama decried Russa as a despotic and uncooperative nation.
What's wrong with this picture? Try the syllogism.
The answer: Obama apparently thinks it is inevitable that Iran will develop nuclear weapons and free nations shouldn't work together to try to prevent them.
LOL! Thanks for the link.
Didn’t notice, but others have thought they saw the same thing
BTW, where in the world does Frank Luntz get his “undecided” voters???
He asked for a show of hands and people started shouting for their candidates.
Those who decided “Obama won” were spouting dem talking points. Amazing.
That whole exercise with Luntz is a waste of time.
So is Charles Krauthammer. All he did was spout conventional wisdom about underdogs not being able to lose.
Didn’t he say something about a “missile in a suitcase” ?
Um. uh.
Henry Kissinger believes Barack Obama misstated his views on diplomacy with US adversaries and is not happy about being mischaracterized. He says: “Senator McCain is right. I would not recommend the next President of the United States engage in talks with Iran at the Presidential level. My views on this issue are entirely compatible with the views of my friend Senator John McCain. We do not agree on everything, but we do agree that any negotiations with Iran must be geared to reality.”
Obama denied the ‘without preconditions’ statement about seeing Ahmadinejad but his website states that he would do just that and see the terrorist state leader without preconditions.
Here: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2091545/posts
And here: http://www.barackobama.com/issues/foreignpolicy/
Obama further said that Ahmadinejad is not in charge in Iran.
Hussein Lie,
” Now, we also have to recognize that this is a final verdict on eight years of failed economic policies promoted by George Bush, supported by Senator McCain, a theory that basically says that we can shred regulations and consumer protections and give more and more to the most, and somehow prosperity will trickle down.”
Truth:
-There has yet to be any negative GDP growth in two consecutive quarters under President Bush.
-Regulations were not shredded. It is exactly the opposite. Adherence to bad legistaion, Community Redevelopment Act, which mandated loans and mortgages be given to wholly unqualified individuals created the banking crisis and was defended by the likes of Dodd, Frank, Obama and numerous democrats.
-Trickle down theory has been proven. The trickle up theory of ‘Equality of Outcome’aka Community Redevelopment Act by the egalitarian left has failed.
salvation, I missed the first part of the debate too. We are having a sock hop at in our parish hall and I was in charge of decorating. I guess it was all for the good, because the first 15 minutes were pretty rough for Mc. He did very well the rest of the time.
Thanks. I was hoping someone would bring up the Kissinger quote. I had a lot of doubts about Obamanation’s words there.

Wow! what a list — Thinking I will send this thread to the FoxNews Channel with Brit Hume tonight. They were lame.
Obama warned against the economic crisis two years ago???
