Liveblogging the McCain-Obama Presidential Debate

I think that it is amazing that the newspapers and news reporters are all for Obama. Did anyone "actually watch" the debates? McCain made a total idiot out of Obama. McCain stepped up and answered all the questions, Obama talked "around" all of them. I am completely sickened by house this election has been won. It is clearly McCain who has the experience and I have gotten so sick of hearing that Obama wins everything. What happened to the US? This whole thing is ridiculous and it's embarrasing for the news to be one sided. It's disgusting to say the least. Step up americans, make the choice that makes sense. Obama has no experience and his wife is a "proven" racist. Why do we want this in the whitehouse? Wasn't Bill Clinton and his "sex antics" enough???

That was one snoozer of a debate. Very boring. Bring back Biden/Palin. Anyway, I still can't believe Obama said going into Iraq showed bad judgment, when Biden was one of the biggest advocates of the war. Also - what's the deal with McCain and the proposal to buy mortgages to help distressed homeowners? A bit out of "left field," right? Here's an interesting take: http://dissentingjustice.blogspot.com/2008/10/out-of-left-field-mccain-wants-feds-to.html

John McCain didn't debate Sen. Obama, he tried to belittle him. At one point, he refers to the Senator as "that one" as though his title and name are beneath McCain to even speak it! Barack Obama is an elected U.S. Senator and should be addressed as such. McCain's recent attacks against Sen. Obama are unnecessary and unfounded. His surrogate, Sarah Palin accuses Sen. Obama of being a terrorist in part due to his name?

McCain wouldn't forgot., his name, his opponents name, how many houses he has, and where he was; the economic issues effecting the ppl, his policy on cutting Medi-Care for the elderly, the last good movie he watched, why his V.P. is not going on T.V. networks to support the issues,. Dementia effects old people that way.

Blacks are the only people in this nation who were brought here in chains. Whose names and identity were changed to suit their new masters. Whose language and culture was completely eradicated. Do the Asians who move here forget their heritage? What about the Mexicans and every other nationality? Hell no! But blacks are expected to keep the slave names forced upon them 200+ years ago? Have the Irish denied their history? Oo

People who complain about Sen. Obama's name are lost in the sauce. If he had a good old slave name like; Ben Jones, then he might qualify as a good negro, right? He's a terrorist to them who are afraid to look at the truth. Anyone who believes the war in Iraq is justified has to be a war-monger because Osama bin Laden claimed credit for 9/11 not Saddam. So we attacked Iraq... that makes sense in what world?

Obama won. Presidential demeanor. Delibrated thoughts, with educated answers, ON TOPIC, calm, gentlemanly (he offered to shake McCain's hand at the end, McCain is a COWARD who refused!!!).

McCain - continually flustered. Spewed only the same BS he's been shoveling for YEARS ( do NOT confuse this with "experience"!!!). OFTEN OFF TOPIC and attempting to slander Obama with lies.
Senile old snake with a beauty-queen wannabee for a chosen replacement.


OBAMA:
* Occidental College - 2 years
* Columbia University - B.A. in political science with a specialization in international relations
* Harvard Law School - J.D. Class Rank? Magna *** Laude; Editor-in-chief of Harvard Law Review
Wife, excellent Harvard education, supporting, classy, excellent mother of two healthy CHRISTIAN children.

BIDEN:
* University of Delaware - B.A. in history & B.A. in political science.
* Syracuse University College of Law - Juris Doctor (J.D.).

VS.

MCCAIN:
* United States Naval Academy - Class rank? 894 out of 899 (meaning that, like George Bush, McCain was at the bottom of his class). Maybe this merely reflects the fact that McCain was a legacy admit - his father and grandfather were admirals. Just like how George Bush got his Harvard MBA - his dad???s connections.

SARAH: 6 years & 5 random colleges to obtain 1 degree (UNfocused, Flighty, MORON)
* Hawaii Pacific University - 1 semester
* North Idaho College - 2 semesters - general study
* University of Idaho - 2 semesters - journalism
* Matanuska-Susitna College - 1 semester
* University of IDAHO - 3 semesters - B.A. in journalism

Now, which team are you going to hire to lead the most influential nation in the world?

The McCain camp depends on those who are afraid of having a black president to promote their racist rhetoric; fear-mongering is an approach that Republicans resort to when they have no other legitimate issue.
John McCain does not have a history of standing with the blue-collar worker. He voted with Bush 90% of the time and the average Joe Blow or Jane Doe aren't wealthy enough to bear the burden of supporting Wall St.

Obama plans to repeal all the Bush tax cuts to pay for his Health care plan. (maybe)
http://decision.healthcare.com/obama-mccain/
This is a tax increase for all tax payers, no matter what bracket you fall into.
It could possibly bring back the marriage penalty tax. Married couples that make similar incomes will be taxed big time if that tax is break is repealed. The marriage penalty tax was taken away in 2003.

Jesus Christ was a "Domestic Terrorist" in his own time.

I'm not here to slam McCain, I actually like him and appreciate his military contributions. But at the end of the day I think he's become a ghost of what he started out as in this campaign. He positioned himself - believably no less - as a politician that isn't afraid to go against his own party, as someone who's the best person to gain America's foothold with foreign relations, and as a guy that's not going to play typical Washington games. He has greatly disappointed many. He fell right into his party's stronghold, and chose a completely unfit running mate. Now he is trailing in the polls and his VP is grasping at straws with smear attacks while he goes along for the ride. He might not have all the same policies as Bush, but he sure seems to have fallen into the same puppet strings...

Advantage of McCain's plan
Increased competition by health plans to cover the individual/family market should increase visibility of health plan pricing and ultimately lead to better pricing for coverage
Gives health consumers more choices for health plans by allowing them to purchase plans across state lines
Flat tax credit proposed by McCain provides the fairest allocation of government benefits to individuals and families (Because of the IRS??? progressive tax system, the exclusion of health premium payments by employers disproportionately benefits taxpayers in the higher income brackets)
Addresses health portability for private market insurance by enabling the sale of insurance plans across state lines (meaning that members who move states can remain with their current plan)
Costs of enacting McCain???s plan are more visible than the Obama plan and will be lower to enact

The doddering old fool, John McCain, not finishing sentences, making outlandish accusations, stating falsehoods, whispering "my friends" a hundred times... my gosh I couldn't countenance four years of such McCain chicanery! Tom Brokaw issues all these reprimands and time reminders when it was Senator Obama's turn to speak, and then chuckles at McCain's idiotic "we didn't hear the fine amount" snipe. McCain looked like a cardboard cutout of himself, one wingtip in the grave, staggering around the stage proclaiming Ronald Reagan his hero. Please, people. There needs to be an extremely bright but appropriately modest statesman in the White House, someone we can trust like Barack Obama, someone we can admire like Barack Obama, someone who when we go to bed at night we know has the moral courage and keen insight and the ability to consider more than ways to feather his own nest when making crucial decisions affecting you and me, your family and mine, our beloved country. We need to unite behind the gentleman who will relate to the history books the story of the greatest President of the United States: Barack Obama. We have this tremendous opportunity within our grasp. Our nation's voters must elect Obama. ELECT OBAMA.
