10/07/08

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.

White knuckles on my mouse ... I’m praying.

[Abigail Adams]

O telling the questioner what the questioner is interested in and what he’s not interested in.

[Terriergal]

Cheap shot “I;ve gotta correct some of Senator Mccain’s history though, Not surprisingly...”

idiot

I just can’t buy though that this bailout was necessary or good, nor do I buy Mccain’s line that gov’t has to find a solution to this problem. They should just get out of the way.

He’s going to pay those words (lies) about Fannie and Freddie.

[valkyry1]

0bama lies lies and lies

[red flanker]

McPalin should slam him: "Obama writes and speakes, but he never accomplishs anything."

[jackv]

Prayers up for McCain.

[luvie]

Snarky!

[NoLibZone]

It wasn’t De but rather over regulation that compelled Banks to lend top those that would not qualify for loans

Google reno v Chase Manhattan.

IF McCain doesn’t jump on that he may as well leave the debate early.

Speaking as an entrepreneur for 30+ years, I never borrowed a dime to meet a payroll. Must be talking about large corporations with wide fluctuations in sales.

Obama wrote two letters! He the man! Don’t senators introduce legislation?

[Galleta]

LORD have mercy Obama’s raising his voice already.

[668 - Neighbor of the Beast]

0bama smirking

And McCain's voice is quavering badly. I'm listening without watching. I hear a confident 0bama and a shaky old man. However, McCain often picks up steam as he goes along. And Brokaw also sounds very shaky.

[meyer]

Obambi - I wrote to Paulson, I wrote to Wall Street.

But you didn't introduce legislation or bring these issues up on public, did you Bambi....

[Political Junkie Too]

McCain should rebut: You're not interested in finger-pointing, but you don't want the people causing the problem putting the person to fix it in office.

[vamoose]

?What the H is O talkin’ about. A minute into his answer he repeats Oliver’s question back to him. Sheesh

[Gordon Greene]

Has anybody noticed Obama looks only at one group?
And that directly at the front row?

[maggiecakes]

OBAMA IS SUCH A LIAR!
McCain is going to go in for the kill pretty darn quick.

[deport]

I want to cuss!!!!!!!!!
