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.

Brokaw: Is health care a right, a privelege or a responsiblity.

McCain: A responsiblity.

Obama: A right. [A government enforced right, he doesn't say.]

[Fawn]

LOL! Obama just TOLD TOM that he doesn’t care if he goes over time.....because McCAin just threw alot out there.....inotherwords SHUT UP TOM.

[freekitty]

I agree. Just the truth please.

Obama blew it when he talked about his health care vs ours.

[jackv]

McCain point out the fundamental difference...bambi thinks health care is a “right”. McCain a responsibility. You want government mandated healthcare??? Not me!

[KittenClaws]

Obama: “I understand there’s time constraints, but Senator McCain through a lot out there”

What a dork!

[Robwin]

Yeah, he knows they are under time constraints, but what the hell. He is The One os they don’t apply to him

[GOPrincess]

“I disagree Mac sounds lucid and moderate, the mad dog aproach would be a mistake IMO”

I don’t want a mad dog, just a little more energy and hitting Obama on his lies, etc., a little more strongly.

But I hope you’re right and that he is appealing to moderates.

[Blogger]

He is attacking him. He isn’t jumping up and screaming he is a communist bast@#$# like some folks would want to see, but that would lose the election. If you think he isn’t attacking, you aren’t watching very well.

[mrsmel]

If you say something in a debate and the opponent doesn’t respond, it’s true. If you don’t respond to an opponent’s charge, it’s true

Thank you. McCain is framing the debate, and that wins them.

[Miss Behave]

One of the MAJOR soundbites that will be played over and over will be McCain's calling Obama "THAT ONE."

It's a great twofer for McCain in that it's a smackdown that's humorous AND McCain's WHOLE response to the question will be played along with it.

And his answer was GREAT and is a pivotal issue for most Americans.

[Political Junkie Too]

When they say "for all Americans" or "for all American citizens," they really mean "for all people here in America."

[Centurion2000]

McCain: Health care is a responsibility

Obama: Health care is a right.
