Barack was the very junior senator on the defensive the entire evening.
After John McCain eloquently (and without notes) discussed the bracelet he wears given to him by the mom of a dead Iraq war vet.
Trying to prove his own support for the troops, Obama chimed in with a pathetic "I've got a bracelet, too," as he looked down at his notes to read the name of the soldier.
It’s hard to think of others when you’re obsessed with self.
I'm so livid at him I can't see straight. He used the bracelet of a deceased Veteran, whose name he couldn't even remember to bolster himself? What a...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I couldn’t bear to watch the whole thing because Hussein makes me want to damage my television.
Every time I checked in, he was saying, “Senator McCain is absolutely right.”
I'm circulating this around. Hope I don't need to pay you royalty fees!
Obama is too scripted and is blatantly lying about his record, especially on the finance section. I’m watching on CNN and they have a audience reaction bar. Surprise, surprise... it is breaking down largely along party lines. People see what they want to see.
Are you really Lance Armstrong? - c’mon, admit it! Also - Sheryl Crow - huh?
Mega-dittoes! Nice work.
This will go down as Obama’s “I’ve got a bracelet, too” debate.
Agree with your assessment.
McCain is also very knowledgeable about the intricacies of world politics much better than I have heard any politician in some time.
With Obama, he just keeps coming back to Bin Laden as though he is the only threat we face.
So far, I’m hoping Mrs. Palin will be able to bring us back to even. Osama...er...Obama is doing quite well I’m terrified to say! Yikes!
“Puhleeze, were getting our ass kicked. Osama, er...Obama is far better coached. Were doomed”!
...you’ve obviously never debated.
Makes me wonder whether 0bama’s team didn’t somehow have a look at McCain’s debate material.
Did obama say shining beacon on a hill?
I wish I could think of a specific example, but several times, I heard a conservative answer and it was coming from the 0. Is he trying to appear less liberal? Did anyone else think this or did I make it up?
Summary: “Uh, Sorry Jim, but I have to butt in again.”
are you watching the debate?
You’re obviously underestimating the stupidity of the American sheeple. I hope you’re right...but I’m pooping my pants right now!
I’m curious, have you been listening or watching? I have been watching and I don’t feel good about how McCain did. Lehrer says they both got the same amount of time, but i feel like it has been all Obama. Sickening.

Pay up, pup!
And that’s a good one, by the way...
Yes I too noticed that he stumbled on the name and had to look at his notes. Was anyone else p*ssed about him talking over McCain so often? I thought it showed him very rude and impatient.
