Any red-blooded American presidential candidate, especially one who purports to have a superior grasp of the economy, should be spring-loaded to jump into the current economic crisis and show leadership to effect a solution.
Obama's response has been limp, to say the least. Leadership requires a grasp of the situation, an ability to synthesize numerous viewpoints, and an ability to rally others toward a solution. Just like the root cause of the crisis, Obama's performance as a leader has been sub-prime.
Obama wants to have the scheduled presidential debate to take place on Friday night, yet the most important debate perhaps in our country's history is taking place in Washington over the next few days. John McCain will be an active participant in the debate, why not Obama?
What's more, the presidential debates often focus on what the voters want to hear, but the debate in Washington involves a real-world problem that demands leadership skills, what better situation to demonstrate presidential timbre?
Obama's response is proving that he is only prepared for staged events, and unable to lead in a real-world situation. His "solution" involves only affixing blame, while not offering a framework to repair the situation and keep it from recurring.
He is clealy a sub-prime candidate.
Yup, and I’m sure a big fuss is gonna be made out of it. We will hear anudder Obamawhine fest.
I know!!! I am counting them too! It is great!
So, Hemmer on Fox is now saying those were “applause pauses. Riggggggggghhhhhhht.
Fox news just gave Obambi an out... saying these were “applause breaks”...
Fox is reporting that the pauses were cause he was hearing applause in his earpiece from NY crowd.
WTF?
Talk about multitasking. Speak on place, listen in another, and look stupid in both places at the same time.
The big O is amazing. He was probably channeling Tom Cruise too.
Fox just said that it may have been the applause in Bambi’s ear (they have had emails from viewers as to the stops being because his teleprompter isn’t functioning), but there were breaks where there would be no applause! This needs to be a youtube video.
Wall Street is in danger of a melt down, no one can get a loan these days, and he's going on and on about how a mosquito bite and malaria are going to kill little children!!

He mentioned his grandmother in her village. I guess he forgot about his brother in a hut.
This requires DDT.
Not for mesquitos.
For Obama
Applause breaks - Translation: Brain farts
LOL
Why the hell don’t the African leaders paying for their own citizens vaccinations? That is their responsibility. They had to get rid of the evil colonial rule so let them deal with the consequences.
get a load of this sh**. One of Obama’s “senior advisors”, just said ‘there is scant evidence of McCain’s concern for the Freddie Mac- Fannie problem. Hemmer mention McCain is on record & she is wrong.
(Some stephanie person)
we need an edit function....
should be pay not paying
He has no business talking up malaria or Aids problems in third world countries ($$$$)when OUR own country is in a financial crises.

LOL..good one!

Is this a hoax? Where was it reported that Obama asked to use teleprompters?
But he is still on the level of a community organizer!!!
