Neither of these candidates are going to be able to do what they want to do because of the lack of government oversight of the greed on wallstreet. So everyone is going to have to participate and get out into your community and do something yourself. Stop complaining into your computers and be part of the solution. What can you do for your communtiy?

I think at this point, anyone paying attention has heard enough about the candidates' stances on the economy and foreign affairs. Obama might have well as been reading his transcript from the previous debate. I guess at this point playing it safe is a good political strategy, but really not all that inspiring. If the next debate doesn't address some other topics of interest like our childrens' education, abortion and immigration I think we can all declare that the liberal media won their first presidential election. Congrats to Brokaw for doing such a fine job "filtering" the questions. Anyone who says Brokaw is unbias, probably also thinks O'Reilly is unbiased. To all the socialists out there (oops, sorry, I mean "progressives"), you can say good bye to the capitalist incentive and personal freedoms that established this country as the financial superpower that IT STILL IS. I think Mrs. Obama summed it up best when she said (and I paraphrase), that the average American doesn't want the whole pie, they are happy with just their slice. Really?? Either she's calling us lazy or stupid, I haven't figured out which one yet. Easily said from a woman with an Ivy League education, earning over $300k/year, and currently campaigning to be the First Lady. If you pick apart the Obama's position on almost everything you will see it either signifigantly changes from week to week (off shore drilling, troop surge, Russia/Georgia) or it simply doesn't apply to the times (tax policy). The ONLY point I am willing to conceed to Obama is his health care plan, but even then until a candidate recognizes that it's a demand problem and not a supply problem, we won't have a workable solution to our health care situation (soon to be crisis).

Read up on the Born Alive fiasco and you will see that he bold-faced lied to the American people. Then tell me why the media flat out ignored this topic, not from an abortion stand point from from one of character and EXTEREME liberalism. This is a case in point of jusy how much Obama trusts the media not to run with anything that would condemn him. The same people who are angry with their government (myself included) should be equally as angered by the media's decision to HIDE THE TRUTH from us. And then you complain about how McCain is "desperate" and "angry"...hey, wake up, someone has to say it if the media refuses to. Then ask yourself one last question...not why was Obama interested in working with Ayers, but why Ayers was interested in working with Obama. Let freedom ring and GOD bless this great county on mine.

At this point I believe both of these guys are just blowing smoke. They are like the two deck hands on the Titantic fighting about how to arrange the furniture. Neither is willing to admit that what they have promised for the last 2 years is most likely never going to happen. Our country is in real trouble and these two clowns are either in total denial or just plain stupid. I have supported McCain only because I do not care for Obama. But at this point I am not sure why either would want the job. To many Americans are counting on the Pres. to solve all their problems and we all know that is not going to happen. When these fools realise this I believe there is going to be real trouble in our country. People are going to get a little crazy!

so sad you think that a Christian leader will save this country...and what was Bush?!?!?! believe it or not it isn't about god it is about politics...maybe you should take an economy class and learn a little...don't remember ever hearing or reading anything about god

Trying to find out just WHO Obama really is ..."is like trying to nail jello to the wall." He is a communist plant.

As usual, Richard's analysis was right on. Once again, Obama displayed the characteristics Americans' desparately need in their next president.. He was articulate, calm under pressure, and showed a clear mastery of the issues that face us both domestically and abroad. McCain, on the other hand, continued to demonstrate erratic behavior, an inability to articulate any specifics of his policies (just saying that he knows how to fix the problems doesn't pursuade me that he actually does...as if I should bet on the come that he and the Republican party actually do get it after years of proof that they don't), and carries himself like an angry, out-of-touch old man. McCain's lack of judgement on many key issues was once again called out without any reasonable rebuttal. Finally, while I'm glad that McCain didn't bring up the dispicable negative crap that his running mate is spewing at every opportunity, it tells me a great deal about this man...that he lacks integrity and honor (yes, those qualities he thinks are inherent just because of his POW experience); for if he actually believed that crap, that he would have brought them up to Obama's face and challenge him publicly to defend himself.

I continue to be amazed at how one sided NEWS is reported. If McCain's wife had said, "this is the first time I have been proud of my country, like Obama's wife...It would still be in the news...It was dismissed! McCain is
experience & he has put his life on the line for this country. If Obama has his way, we will be a socialist country!
As far as Palin for VP, she is a breath of fresh air...God Help Us...

If Palin is so savy when it comes to image and camera angles, why after her national debate did she pawn off her handicapped infant to a child who could barely hold up the baby's head? That little boy clearly has some neurological deficits - he belonged with an adult., not one of her younger children.

If she doesn't understand how to take care of a handicapped child, I don't think she understands the economy or foreign policy.

Or even image and camera angles.

I heard loud and clear that Obama plans to raise taxes (especially on the small business and middle class.) "We will all have to tighten our belt to help our neighbors" read get ready for heavy tax burden ahead to fund the trillions of extra dollars to fund my (Obamas) additional programs.
I heard loud and clear that he (Obama) has no clear objective in commiting our troops, but will do so on a "moral" whim (get ready to see our precious troops sent all over for one fruitless clean up job after another) wether or not it really concerns our security? McCain said he would only do so if it were obvious that we could obtain our objective and it was clearly defined.
I heard loud and clear Obama "There was only 18 billion in pork barrel spending this year" Oh really? What about the 150 billion in pork that was JUST PASSED THROUGH CONGRESS?? Wasn't he there? Or was he just not paying attention?
I do the books for my household and just adding in my head I could tell that Obamas policies would add maybe even as much as 90,000 dollars in tax burden to every American. I don't know about you but I can buy an awful lot of health insurance for 90 grand!
But lastly Obama declared "I am standing here (with my fine education) because of Americas oppurtunities" Then in the next breath "But I want to change all that"
America, please take out the cotton from your ears and get out your calculators before you get the big shock. And as far as McCain leaving the debate? How could anyone tell where he and Cindy were since the cameras were only trained on Obama, again the media always giving their man an unfair advantage any way that they can!
