Here is the full video of Sen. John McCain and Barack Obama appearing at the Saddleback Church in California with Pastor Rick Warren for their "Civil Forum on the Presidency." In the first two videos below, Warren talked with Barack Obama. Then, in the second two videos, Warren asked Sen. John McCain the same questions. Actually, McCain wound up receiving more questions because his answers were so much more direct and to the point. But McCain received all the questions Obama received plus some extras because he had time remaining.

Just caught the end of this and McCain seemed to be doing a good job. Did anyone see the whole thing? Did McCain do better than the Obamanation?
McCain OWNED Obama.
bookmark to watch later. I did hear that Obama was a wreck. :) That’s good.
Looking forward to the debates !!
Obama can talk a good game but it is obvious there is nothing behind all that talk .....NO MEAT !!
In contrast, McCain showed love of Country and life experiences that has built CHARACTER & INTEGRITY !!
McCain's stories about his POW days, knocked the ball out of the park !!
Thank you SO MUCH for posting this! I missed it last night, and upon reading notes and such I’ve wanted to see it all for myself! LOL Glad to hear McCain kicked some butt last night.
bfl
Thank you for this...really thanks.
I was watching THE NOTEBOOK on the other channel and couldn’t get to break away often. When I did, it was first Obama.
His answers were thought out, calculated...void of too many of the vocalized pauses as usual, but he seldom looked at the audience or even the interviewer. HIs persona was cold....His answers, like the three most influential people in your life....(did anyone hear what mac said on this question?) was Michelle, his grandmother and Sam Nunn etc...pathetic...But what can he say? REv WRigth? Malcolm X?
I thought that the forum was going to bury Mac...but friends..he flourishes in these arenas.
His answers were quick, to the point, meaningful, funny, informative...He spoke to the crowd, animated wih his hands...a sign that he fully believed what he was saying and wanted to convince you too....
He had Warren smiling and nodding his head...
I mean, I have never in my life seen contrasting forum or debate when both people looked so exact opposite of each other.
Obama cannot possibly win on the issues... He can’t...
I heard that answer, ( what did mac say on both?)
How can you not have an answer to that question regardless of your beliefs.
I mean one could say it begins at conception which mac said immediately....Or you can say it begins when the baby exits the womb....
I mean, what kind of person is muddles in legalize on that question?
McCain’s answer was:
1) General David Petraeus
2) John Lewis (A Democrat Civil Rights leader)
3 Meg Whitman (Entrepreneur and founder of eBay)

In case you haven't noticed - he isn't. Obama hasn't spoken about one issue in any more depth than a 15 second sound bite. Yet, millions of American voters are still fainting at his feet.
thanks for the link
Bookmark for later.
wow
Obama, on the other hand, rarely answered the questions asked of him and gave answers that "beat around the bush".
You hear the media say that Obama is chiseling a large swath of Evangelicals away from the Republicans. If his answers from last night are any indication, then the media is outright lying or the young Evangelicals have not been listening and are left leaning liberals.
Obama speaking to nation
Obama to nation
Obama-nation
Abomination
