I actually watched part of the debate because I was hoping that they’d just go ape on each other. I was actually impressed by the actual quality of the questions asked by Gibson. Many were questions I would have asked them, and they didn’t handle them very well. Obama worse than Hillary, but both bad.

Gibson actually got a few respect points from me. Finally doing a real journalist’s job. I am not in any way holding my breath it will continue, but it was nice to see dems given direct hard and real questions (even though they dodged them).

Somebody finally nailed this quota abusing Clown who can't speak without a teleprompter. His wife another Ivy League grad says "if you want to know Me and Barak". Pretty obvious this I hate America, affirmative action Broad didn't have any grammar classes at Princeton. But America really sucks, eh?

For the first time - ever - I actually have respect for the MSM. Perhaps they sense the upcoming cliff and want some credibility parachutes before the big dive. Gads, some of these video journalists may have intelligence after all.

Perhaps the news media will get to the point where it actually does some investigative journalism on these two. I’m hopeful, but not optimistic.

Granted, the second half of the debate dealt with issues — Iran, taxes, Social Security, affirmative action, gun-control — that were more "substantial," ...it is actually quite "substantial" to attempt to find out if Obama really does feel contempt and hostility toward those millions of Americans who live in small towns all over the country - it goes to the heart of one of his major campaign themes that this is one nation and that he will be a "uniter" of all its people.......
