PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE #2 LIVE THREAD
10/07/08

Posted on 10/07/2008 2:01:24 PM PDT by TornadoAlley3

While the two presidential candidates, Senators John McCain and Barack Obama, prepare for their second debate on Oct. 7 at Belmont University in Nashville, Tom Brokaw gets to sift through questions submitted by you. In addition to queries from a group randomly selected by the Gallup organization, Brokaw will be fielding questions submitted online at mydebates.org, the site created by the Commission on Presidential Debates and Myspace. The focus of the town hall-style debate will be domestic and foreign policy, Brokaw's specialties.

Again obama with BS and mcCain letting it slide.

“we`re 3% of the world population but use 25% of the worlds resources....”

But the USA produces 25% of the world`s GDP !

DAMN JOHN, SPEAK !

LOL. Another even-handed questioner. “Health care sold as a commodity...” naw, that’s not loaded at all...

Mac is right on Nuclear. Was wondering if he’d mention natural gas ala “Pickens Plan”. Don’t know how much traction Pickens is getting, but money talks.

Had to turn it off - every time Obambi speaks, I get angry. And, I have to be up at 0400 in the morning. McCain is doing OK, but I wish he’d just walk over and B-slap Bambi upside the head to get his attention. Maybe knock some of the BS out of him.

Healthcare as a commodity? Obama has no idea what that means.

He just NAILED OBama on who voted for what!! AFTER Obama did the “McCain voted against alternative energy”....

Obama now trying to grasp the concept of what a commodity is...and isn’t answering the question, either.

McCain nailed that one. Government enterprise vs private enterprise. I don’t know if Bambi would have got that one.

“Is health care a commodity?”

Yeah, they’ll start trading it along with pork bellies . . . okay, at least it’s not the pony-tailed guy from 1992 asking for a metaphorical hug.

I fell off the couch with “that one.”

The pundits are going crazy on that one.

All these questions sound like they were made up specifically for O-man's talking points.

I say McCain is getting in some pretty good shots at the Zero and I think he is making some good points also.
