when Kerry said something about the troops not having body armor and Bush did NOT take that opportunity to talk about the $87 billion.

That was a bid one for me too. Also that Bush didn't point out that Kerry's plan to give Iran nuclear fuel is exactly the sort of failed policy that has lead us to the predicament with North Korea. Also I was disappointed that when Bush said Kerry's mixed messaged were sending the wrong signal to our troops, our allies, and Iraqis, he failed to include OUR ENEMIES in that list. He did this twice.

I was sitting here last night shouting Bush's responses to Kerry. He never picked up on one of them.

He could have made a fool out of Kerry several times. One of the most obvious was pointing out, dramatically, Kerry's contradiction in wanting a multilateral approach to Iraq, but a unilateral approach to North Korea.

Bush is a smart man, but was obviously nervous and self-conscious last night. I would think he'd be beyond that by now.

Kerry, OTOH, is a smooth talker, but is simply not that smart. It was obvious last night that Kerry was making stuff up, and Bush never called him on it.

"he failed to include OUR ENEMIES in that list. He did this twice."


I caught this exact same thing. I was a little surprised that he didn't catch that one.

Well...doesn't change my vote, but still...I was dissapointed.
