PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE #2 LIVE THREAD
10/07/08

Posted on 10/07/2008 2:01:24 PM PDT by TornadoAlley3

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.

Food stamps, scrimping, scholarships. Went to the best schools. I want to see who paid for what. Down to the dime.

Now Obama is hitting his ending note. Obama loves America. He came from modest means. He is not answering the question but going into his summation. What a farce.

None of the things we were hoping for materialized... It’s the same exact crap as last debate...

You're missing the point - he wasn't talking to YOU, he was talking to those limp-wristed, uncommitted, should I wear the brown or the mauve, INDEPENDENT voters. He has to appeal to a bunch of indecisive pansies, and I thought he did a fine job of it this evening.

BTW, did you even bother to read the hundereds ofpositive comments on this thread?

Obama doesn’t know how to answer the ‘what don’t you know’ question.

McCain’s response to the military serviceman (their shaking hands was a great photo op for McCain) was the best response he’s given tonite. He’s great when talking about Israel and our defense of her. Finally he hits one out of the park.

In the final analysis, it doesn’t really matter what either of the candidates says or doesn’t say, with the entire MSM ready to report Obama has been seen walking on water and the benighted American electorate - who gave us TWO terms of the corrupt Clinton regime - ever ready to swallow down the delusional Obama hagiography like mother’s milk.

That was a loser answer...

So was the rest of it. He didn't answer it!!!

He truly thinks he does no wrong...the ultimate narcissist. And, in my opinion, Godless.

How American. His typical grandma, his mom who got food stamps even though Hawaii didn’t have them yet, was working on her PhD and flying back and forth to Indonesia, Pakistan, India.

“what don’t you know and how will you learn it”

There’s nothing of substance in O’s answer.

O: “Here’s what I do know: I wouldn’t be standing here ... because this country gave me opportunity ... mom scrimping, food stamps...I went to best schools on the planet... will we pass on the same American dream”

And now he’s on to the “last eight years”. He hasn’t answered the question at all.
