This is a live presidential debate thread.
McCain goes in deep with Ukraine.
BO says, “Me too”.
It didn’t help him one bit.

is it me or is FR SO slow tonight. taking long time to post
remember it’s all about perception and giving the drive-by-media enough excitement and talking points to raise BO’s arm in victory...
I admit thhat Obama-nation seems smoother than McCain and in command of 'facts?' whether his facts and proposals are all BS, they sound like good BS.
The MSM will be all high-fiving tomorrow on how Obama wipped the floor with McCain. It doesn't matter that McCain made sense. Obamabi looked and sounded better as a car used-car salesman than McCain...(would you buy a car from this man scennario). McCain and Obama both rambled instead of striking specifics, but Obama rambled his talking points better as i watched it.
I had hoped that McCain would easily dispatch Obama, but I did not see that happen as I watched. I hope I'm proven wrong.
Yep.
BO is trying to pull it back to an economy debate with “Russian Oil”.
He must feel out of his element.
He’s right.
Okay, here’s my take. McCain started out rather slow. Obama looked pretty good. About the second half - honestly - I think McCain is waxy Obama, and it is very clear that there is s serious gap between McCain and Obama. It is clear, and can be seen Obama is NOT ready.

Yes, how many times has 0bama said, "John is right..." Too many to count!
McCain is right to not come to Bush’s defense. Think of what the Bush admin has cost this country ... and I’m not talking the war in Iraq or Afghanistan, the spending the veto pen should have stopped!
I love the guy... look at obammy and it just comes naturally to gravitate to McCain... a real man and real leader.

Yeah, I was wondering if I was seeing things when he did that. What a maroon.
Earlier in the campaign, he was just a politician whom I wanted to lose an election. Then, when I found out he was trying to sabotage troop redeployments from Iraq so he could do it after he descended from on high to the Presidency, I changed over to wanting some terrible things to happen to him. I’m assuming to an ego like his, losing the Presidency is enough of a Terrible Thing.
I sure hope it is, at least.
BO was supposed to talk about Russia and sidetracked himself again
The Geezer just keeps rolling. My God, I can hear the theme from Patton in the background.
i am feeling a bit better now. i think mccain is getting a bit more comfortable. i think the first 1/2 of the debate on the economy threw mccain completely off tonight. it played to BOs strengths because it is simply his stump speach for the past 2 years.
However, i think BO is still spewing his BS that the liberal media will be praising.
The topic was Russia, but Obama got lost and started talking about clean coal.
Trolls don’t seem to be able to control their emotions tonight do they? I think some of them are being outed.
“remember it’s all about perception and giving the drive-by-media enough excitement and talking points to raise BO’s arm in victory...”
This debate will probably have an audience of 80 million or more. The viewers will form their own opinions of who did well or poorly, and not wait for any media spin to decide.
The more voters who actually witness an event, the more they will decide and be less influenced by the media.
QK - It’s been slow for a couple of weeks. Just got on. How is McCain doing? Most comments I’ve read are pretty positive for McCain. Not near a TV yet, but soon will be and catch up.
