Not the first 2, but tonight!
As one with experience in TV debate, I try to be objective about this.
Obama is on defense though the night, stuttering much more than previous, notice?
McCain went after BO much more than other way around McCain is smiling, relaxed, while O is nervous
ABC & CBS both had focus groups, and I was happy to see in both groups, one lean more towards O, but 3 more McCain! McCain is rebutting EVERY point brought up, an improvement
McCain score points on Education (not throwing more $, vouchers), Health Care, (Mandate vs choice), tax (not spreading around wealth, class warfare, we #2 corporate tax, no one should pay more taxes now), oil drill he’s opposed, notice Obama’s eloquence,”we could LOOK AT” drilling. That was funny!), programs you will cut (Obama bombed out! McCain point out O’s pork)
Best McCain's lines /moments
"I am not Bush, ..you should have run against him…” Smart! He said he was going to debate me in town hall, any time…, O spent MORE $ in negative Ads than anyone..I can prove it!”
“Your point of standing up against your (Demorat) leader isn’t very convincing!”
He gave $830,000 to ACORN, he had political party ay Ayer’s home… facts are facts. Record is record!” Biden got weird policy ideas. Voted against Gulf war, want divide up Iraq”
“Notice O talk about government , spending, why do we always have to spend MORE $?” “Runaway spending must be brought under control!” He sounds like he believes it. “O’s idea of raising taxes in hard times…” “We got too MUCH government, into health care?”
Obama’s best moments- McCain’s criticism of my taxing $42,000…. Been pointed out wrong by even FOX…” Smart! McCain said,” If we talk about economy, we’d lose”
McCain won argument on Columbia, abortion, on how many years you can stop our dependency on Foreign oil (7 vs 10 years)
Obama’s lie- Buffet, Lugar…these are people who shaped my life” (What about Frank Davis, Rev. Wright?)
Missed opportunity
McCain blew it not nailing O as trainer for ACORN, teaching thugs to shake down banks.
ACORN & O had a CLOSE relationship,massive voter fraud has TAINTED this ELECTION already...
O & company caused credit mess”
“Ayers is just tip of the iceberg, long list of leftist pals besides Ayers”
McCain should have nailed O on his pr-union vote in Illinois, stifle school improvement
McCain answered Q on VP much better than O.
From debate standpoint O make repeated mistakes in ALL 3 debates by saying,” I agree with Sen. McCain”
Closing statement, both did okay, but I feel McCain could have done a better job!
No knock out punch and McCain really need one, but he hits & jabs O many times, O is wobbling, I would not be surprised this will result in 2-3% increase towards McCain within 3 days.
Gross.
Glad debates are over for McCain, he makes us all worry. I don’t mind they sending Pitbull Palin against Obama, what a match! Will take a bite from the Messiah’s A
Liberty is in danger when the people crave a leader who “exudes power.”
I don’t want a president who is powerful. I want someone who will defend our rights from encroachment by government and attacks by criminals, fanatics and foreign foes.
While neither McCain nor Obama meets my requirements, Obama is a lot further from acceptable than McCain. Obama’s cult-like stature is, in my opinion, a far greater danger than McCain’s inconsistent defense of a free society.
Oh please....don’t you know who that is? She is a donkey and extremely liberal. She stops by to try and p*ss on every one’s parade...so it’s best to completely ignore her.
She’ll be the first in front of his firing squad. They kill people like her first.
Thank you for the most excellent post, ROTB!!
With appreciation,
I thought Mac did well too and I thought his first two were bad to be honest....and Obama look off his shuck and jive game.
Mac does not hit home runs like he should but he did much better.
one fault I found was when Obama referred to a baby that survives a late term abortion as an infant.
that should be an ad......”Mr Obama how can you condone any late term abortion when you yourself declared a baby that survives such was an infant, are you in favor of killing infants sir?””
Comrade Obama thanks you for your support.
Now please go away!
McCain was great and it surprised me. I am proud of what he did tonight.
Where have you been, troll-breath?
I didn’t watch the debate. I checked YouTube for a video of “Senator Government” but didn’t see one. Is there a video of it somewhere? Is FOXNews or CNN showing a clip of it? I could tevo it. (Dish tv, no ‘big 3’ networks :)
How so? Although I think he was nothing close to being cool under the pressure.
Obamanation’s “cool-cat demeanour” [sic] is pure naked arrogance.
Keep on drinkin’ the Kool-aid.
