LIVE DEBATE THREAD

[Cannoneer]

I caught this trickle up speak of BA’s earlier this week. I’m surprised some GOP pol hasn’t jumped on it sooner. It means he wants to expand welfare programs. He believes he can stimulate the economy by investing in the least productive sector.

Trickle up my bum. Sorta like an enima!

"(looks down at his notes to read the name of the person on his new me-too bracelet). It probably says "Love, Michelle"

More likely, "Love Larry"...

Obama does NOT make sense... OMG, he just used axis of evil in a sentence?????

[maggiecakes]

Obama talks in circles, typical for those emotional-based libs. McCain talks linear, typical for logic-based cons.

[Enchante]

OBAMBI is LYING about the whole “preconditions” issue — he’s trying to pretend he said he “reserves the right” to meet with anyone.

LIAR. That’s not what he said that got him such warm applause from the Moonbat rabid left..... he asserted that he would in his FIRST year in office hold head of state meetings with all these asshole dictators with no hint of preparation or preconditions.

Obambi, you are a lying fraud and you can’t weasel out of this one.

[GeeMoney]

McCain is cleaning Barry’s clock on Iran.....Obama stumbled badly in talking about negotiations with Iran.

“I don’t even have a seal yet”

Good jab!

[RightWingNY]

HELP ME, please!!!

I’m on vacation in SC and way too nervous to watch. Kinda like when my kid is playing baseball.

DH has TV on and is watching but I’m a wuss and have iPod turned way up. So figured I could check here and get an intelligent opinion from intelligent people.

Is McCain winning?????

Please don’t lie but please tell me YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Numbers Guy]

What is up with the CNN rating dials on the sides (it may only be on the HD feed)? You’ve got all these pundits doing their ratings and clearly it’s just based on their political biases — Begala, Brazile, and Borger favoring Obama.

The Republican pundits are trying to be “fair”. So of course this will just lead to an image that Obama’s doing well because one side is being partisan and the other is trying to be “fair”.

Unless he's referring to himself and his Liberal cronies, I think he's misusing the phrase.

Obama: “I’ve got a bracelet, too!”

And he couldnt remember the name - he stammered for a second or two before he mentioned the name!

Idiot. My opinion is that McCain is slightly ahead right now.

[taraytarah]

Did you notice he had to use it fluidly, to emphasize that he knows it better than McCain? Didn't impress me. It just enforces the idea that he's not "American." He's a citizen of the world.

Obamabi is bird without one wing ... fly in circles.

[angcat]

He can't even lift his head away from the TelePrompter. Does he have a thought at all?

[ArchAngel1983]

Has anybody noticed that Barry is wearing a lapel pin? I can’t make it out though. What is it??? It’s certainty not an American Lapel pin.

[knyteflyte3]

Obama is nothing but an “empty suit” indeed, McCain has so much more experience, McCain just jackslapped Obama about Iran, LOL......(audience reacts).

[taraytarah]

"Ahmadinejad spewing nonsense..."

Sounds like he's describing himself.

Yes. When in doubt, invoke the phrase "the failed policies of George W. Bush". Oh, and appease Iran.
