Yes, the disgust in his voice for the very idea of saying that out loud was palpable.

Obama is lying (or flip-flopping, take your pick) about (1) his pledge to hold direct meetings with leaders of Iran, Syria, Venezuela, etc..... (2) his previous opposition to missile defense.

We need to get the previous videos and transcripts of his past statements which contradict what he said tonight.

Also (3) he did NOT take the position on Russia-Georgia on the FIRST day of the conflict that he eventually took by day 3.

These are 3 different foreign policy issues on which Obambi LIED about his past positions/stands.

"I think Obama is a African-American John Kerry. Is that racist?"

No, it's just wrong.
He is ARAB-American, or rather, just plain arab, not hardly anything American about him.

But when most of us think "African-American" we think of someone whose lineage is from THIS country...

Is it time now to trawl through the MSM sludge?

I hope people stay on the thread and report the various comments made.

You’re right, he does sound like Reagan.

I like it.

I'd love to hear him read part of a Reagan speech.

“This time we really need a landslide to counter the “racism” garbage etc. that is sure to come

That’s why it’s important for everyone, even in blue states, to vote if they support McCain. The spread on the popular vote needs to be as large as possible.”

I was going to “reader’s digest” your remarks, but every word is important.

You are 100% correct and I hope everybody heeds your advice, safe state or a sure loser, we must all go to the polls and even if we are not totally thrilled with McCain, or even with our beloved Gov. Palin, we must vote against the emptiest of empty suits, Barack Obama, and the who-knows-who, such as Bill Ayers and Rev. Wright, will be “advising” him.

McCain beat Obama tonight, hands down.....LOL I disagree. I think McCain was far to quick to use canned answers and didn't come across well. I'm nervous.

Oh yes, it was moderated well: if ther’s anything I know about Jim Leherer, I know he is a dyed in the wool Clintonista, I was actually cheering at the way he caught Obam trying to change the subject from the question he [Leherer] thanked Obie for the answer and asked pointedly for Obie to answer the actual QUESTION, which Leherer would then patiently repeat. Leherer’s expression looked like that of an elementary school teacher while slowly and clearly forcing Obie to answer the QUESTION...I can relate to that.

Kristol likened it to an 8 round boxing match, Obama won round 1 and McCain won the rest or perhaps 1 or 2 rounds a tie.

Hoover was Pres. when it started, but he wasn’t Pres. when it ended.

Thus, Hoovervilles.

I can’t believe Chris Wallace didn’t notice McCain called Obambi “Senator Obama,” while the Messiah called McCain “John.”

I think McCain did have a slow start, but was on a roll towards the end, Obama was just flapping his jaw about half truths and agreeing with McCain alot...I respect your opinion though....

Bull! McCain spoke from experience and authority. He knew world history and applied it to his answers. He exuded leadership.

Obama stuttered, repeatedly while McCain was speaking said “not true, not true”....instead of planning his counter.....Obama spoke in generalities like he has NEVER had to actually deal with foreign affairs, and that is true, he never has.

McCain cleaned Obama’s clock tonight. Awesome win for McCain.

McCain really got under Obama’s skin when he said Obama was just like the Bush administration with how he is unwilling to admit he was wrong on the surge.

That tweaked him good.

Yes it was. It was dripping...

I'm still watching CNN and they are SCRAMBLING to make excuses for Jim Leherer...the whole failure of Obama to win the debate may be Leherer's fault! Castle(lands??) says it was a tie

When did his father write these letters to the US schools? Did he say the 60s? How old is this guy?
_____________________________________________

Obama was born Aug 4, 1961...

Which means his parents “got together” about November, 1960...

Which means Obama Senior was in Hawaii in 1960..

Wiki says he was born in 1936 and came to school in Hawaii at age 23.. (That would be 1959)

How many times did Barry “agree” with McCain??? I’m starting to wonder if he just might vote for McCain…himself.

Think Jim got a few phone calls from the Master & Mistress of Politics and gave Obama the wrong prep sheet???
