Yep. The McCain camp has gotta be working on a commercial right now. 30 seconds of Obama saying “John is Right, John is right, John is right”... it’s gonna be a hoot.

I'm confused! How can McCain be right and still be President Bush's water boy?

Has anyone verified what Henry Kissinger really said when discussing meeting with adversaries?

Henry K spoke out right after the debate and said Obama misrepresented his position. Henry K said he doesn't agree with McCain on everything, but on the issue of talks with Iran, he agreed with McCain NOT Obamuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh.

Kissinger has already come out saying Obamba got it wrong, misrepresented his position, which Kissinger is non to pleased with and he said his dear friend John got it right.

uh, well, you know, eh, if you take, uh, a man who spent, eh, well, you know, 30 years in Washington, uh, carrying President Bush’s water and stuff, you know, uh, you’re gonna um, make mistakes that, uh, your political opponents, you know, uh, will use against you. But, uh, you know, um, I don’t want to, you know, politicize, uh, the issue.

Thanks. I’m still catching up on all the details. I only got to see part of the debate due to time zone constraints, but they’re showing it in its entirety again this evening our time and I plan to see the whole thing.

I only saw the closing remarks and watched the bows. From BO’s body language as he left the stage, one could see he thought he had been bested.
Of course, I turned the TV off after that because that ridiculous “spin alley” invention of the msm is why no one should pay attention to these debates. They are an expensive show for the msm to make themselves feel relevant.

“I thought it was disrespectful of Obama to keep calling McCain by his first name”.

...anyone who believes in “respecting you elders” and I think most do. Further, I think it damages BO to talk to the “Maverick” like he’s his equal. BO acted like they just got off the golf course together. The doesn’t work.

When the Empty Suit rattles off giveaway after giveaway, McCain should just respond: “Well, I'll never win the contest with you if it comes down to who can do the best Robin Hood imitation, but that's OK.”

Main Street is nothing more than a newly contrived ‘Obamanism’ meaning my ACORN malcontents. It’s similar to ‘working people’ which makes me puke since most of us are working people all of our lives. Watch out for this socialist/marxist movement.

The post about the spittle that Obama had on his lips on several occasions didn't make for style either. He actually was very incongruent between his speech and his sweating and spittle.

I agree 0bama ‘sounded’ better. I actually was surprised to not hear a lot of uhms & ahhs from him, but then I am sure he practiced quite a bit to avoid them.

That being said his substance was lacking. Much of the first round sounded more like campaign rhetoric than answering the question posed. McCain came closer to giving real answers especially to the very real question of how we're going to be able to afford the bailout. (not by raising taxes, but by cutting the taxes on business, keeping jobs here at home, and creating 700,000 new jobs in the energy sectors). 0bama didn't seem to have an overall strategy, just campaign rhetoric and blame gaming.

On the ME it seemed to me that 0bama might be more willing to jump to using force with Pakistan than McCain. I thought that was actually more telling, although most may have missed that little slip in position.

What will the American people think? Initially I think they will appear close in this debate due to 0bama rhetoric. By Monday though I think Americans will have evaluated and reevaluated especially since most have/are learning to look closer at rhetoric.

Here is the video of Obama saying he would attack Pakistan with or without the approval of NATO. In the debate he says that he NEVER SAID THIS. NO NEWS SOURCE HAS CALLED HIM ON THIS!!!

Thank you Bear. I thought I heard that too.

If I hear any more whining about “main street” I’m going to scream. “Main street” took out these crappy loans that got us into this mess. “Main street” is just a bad as the crooked lenders and corrupt politicians who engaged in this crap.

Not all of "Main Street". I didn't do it but I am going to have to pay for like the rest of us. It really was Wall Street, aided by Congress, that got us into this mess.
