I think it just might be due to injury.
If you are thinking..I am not going to look at the guy..I think you might do it least do it a couple of times by reflex.

He was tortured quite a bit. He might have had to turn his body to look at him. Also remember that he has been up dealing with the financial crisis. His body probably seizes up more with lack of sleep, etc.

0bama looks tired, shown by dark areas below his eyes.

I thought he looked real creepy. His skin looked pasty, he seemed to have rouge on his cheeks, and his ears stuck way out (is one allowed to say that?).

The boy said China has launched a space program and we need to catch up.

The boy wants to and has warned Pakistan of his desire to go to war there.

Krauthammer said Obama (the underdog) came out neutral and therefore ahead in the debate. Said he was nimble in foreign affairs and since this area isn't his strength, because he held his own, it was a draw. The next two debates will prove stronger for Obama since it will deal with the economy.

Tuned in to hear Olberman say that McCain got the President of Pakistan's name wrong??

Frank Luntz group feels Obama won the night.

Final score McCain 28, Obama 21.

I disagree, I didn't see any homeruns!

McCain was good. He did blow it absolutely on the economy when he did not mention the GOP move a few years ago to regulate the Fannie/Freddie organizations when the rats would not vote for it. He also should have mentioned that the forcing of lenders to give mortgages to risky applicants.

Huh? Have you been drinking the DU Kool-Aid?

I think we can all agree that Obama lied through his teeth, and so on.... but he sounded better than McCain did. Didn't say a damned thing, of course -- nothing specific, especially -- but people who don't follow things like we do will call this one for Obama because he sounded informed. McCain couldn't get a word in edge-wise, and came across as narrow and tentative.

That's what the polls will show tomorrow, IMO.

Olberman Is saying that McCain admits that the USA tortured people.

He seems to think this is a deal breaker for McCain.

Does dickweed realize that McCain is AGAINST torture?

The liberal mind astounds me

  McCain missed a great opportunity tonight on taxes when he said that businesses in the United States pay one of the highest rates at 35% while Ireland only pays 11%.  Obama shot back that because of the loop holes that John McCain helped write, these businesses often pay no taxes.

All McCain had to do was ask; "How many in the audience own a business?"  ... yeas all around ... "How many have found these loop holes?"
Crickets ... "Jim, this question is finished."

That Biden with his 3 degrees and finishing top 5% of his law school class sure has low standards for himself.

You will get killed here but I agree. I just hope it doesn’t translate to many points in the polls.

Thank you SO MUCH for putting that up! Look at the very end... Obama had to LOOK at the bracelet to REMIND himself the name that was on it... What a jerk. If you’re going to wear the bracelet you should know that name without LOOKING! How horrid!

Obama: “I’ve got a bracelet too, From, um... uh... (looks at bracelet) Sgt. uh... the mother of Sgt. Jopek(sp?).”

I could swear that Michelle shook her husband’s hand when she came on stage. That’s just weird.

No smile, no kiss, and DEFINITELY no congratulatory whoopie.

Cindy looked like she was ready to jump John McCain's bones.

The real question is...

does Michelle throw ashtrays?

Cheers!

Obama acted like a junior high schooler. The smirks, the grimaces, the rolling of the eyes - and the downright rude interruptions - were straight out of 8th grade.

Barry came across as having been heavily coached without understanding what he was saying (hence the “block answers”), he spouted a cloud of generalities, and he was obnoxious and immature in his personal manner.

Barry interrupted like a bratty child...he was disrespectful of his elders. He was angry. He rambled. Stuttered. How anyone couldn’t see that...they’re nuts.
