The Truth About The Debate – We Analyze – You Decide
Or something like that.
First, a debate oddity. The host-reporter never followed up a question. He kept trying to prompt McCain to look at Obama. Obama looked at McCain. McCain never looked back. Obama called him John. McCain called him “Senator Obama.” McCain looked a bit edgy at first, then settled down. Obama smiled instead of seeming irritated by McCain’s answers.
McCain started slow – finished strong especially after his name-drop on foreign leaders. Obama had piercing eye contact. McCain was very folksy and tried to be poignant, especially about the war.
Both men made big deposits in their “trust” account. Obama was very specific on his tax program, and McCain defended his, but on the bailout, they could have been running mates. They sounded so similar on the bailout program. No specifics. Just “let’s get one fast.”
Sharpest exchange -Iraq. And you thought that was an old story? Obama effectively stressed the need to reinforce Kabul, rather than Bahgdad. McCain looks for victory in Iraq. McCain used the words, “Senator Obama doesn’t understand” about ten times. Obama said, politely, “John is incorrect”, almost as many times.
Both men achieved their goals. Obama displayed vast knowledge of foreign policy. McCain looked like he’s been around the block.
Was it great? Almost. The only thing missing was a little anger. I mean, these guys look presidential, but so polite.
If they read they letters to this blog, they would be fired up immediately.
Keep on writing.

Hello Larry,obama fared well in the debate but so did john kerry and al gore against bush jr,John Mccain’s not a great debater or speaker but he is a great leader and that is what came across last nite my friend.
mccain 1 obama 0.
Larry,
There isn’t much to say. Obama performed excellently on what was supposed to be McCain’s turf. Instant polls gave the debate to Obama, often by 10% or more.

McCain also made a big gaffe, calling Pakistan a “failed country” at the time of Mushariff’s military coup. It wasn’t. It was a functioning democracy. If it had been a failed state–one with nuclear weapons, mind you–you can bet that we would have invaded Pakistan, not Afghanistan or Iraq.
Leo, you have become a full time McCain basher. You are so much in the Obama tank that it is laughable. Your incessant bashing of McCain, links to liberal nonsense and propping up of Obama when he stumbles is laughable. No one is listening because you have no objectivity. You are a blind follower like JR with the Clintons. You will not convert anyone to the Obama camp. You are generally a bright and insightful guy but you are really embarrassing yourself here. I don’t understand what Kim Shee sees in you.
In the spirit of fairness and objectivity, I would have to say that Obama was probably the winner last night if there was a winner.
McCain should have buried him on foreign affairs. McCain had a condescending attitude and was more interested in name dropping and defending the surge. He missed an opportunity to gain ground.
Obama was a bit weak and backed off direct attacks. He did demonstrate a modicum of knowledge in foreign relations and some balanced positions. He put McCain on the defensive about Iraq.
Overall, neither really distinguished themselves. Obama is playing not to lose. He did not get buried last night. He pretty much held his own. For those reasons I’d say he won if anyone had an advantage.
Larry, thank you for refreshing topic.
OOOJ,to compare the Clinton’s to the obama’s is like comparing Babe Ruth to ryan howard there is none.
The Clinton’s are American Royalty when Bill talks everyone listens,it’s so clear that democrats blew it when it comes to Hillary.
John Mccain picked up a lot of votes last night in the battle ground states.
obama studied hard for the debate but he just doesn’t get it.
jr, you’re dreaming. Obama did what he had to do last night. He showed he could address foreign policy questions intelligently and that he had a command of the material. McCain, on the other hand, spent too much time trying to talk down to Obama (and the “Obama doesn’t understand” refrain is one of the things voters found unattractive about McCain’s performance. Obama clearly gave answers that made the case that he does get it.) McCain failed to achieve what he needed to achieve, which was to show voters how he would be different from Bush.
In any event, the polls don’t lie. People who watched the debate thought Obama won it convincingly. You’re in the minority.
Don’t forget that this was on McCain’s supposed turf. The GOP was claiming Obama couldn’t say anything coherent without a TelePrompTER. He blew past that low level of expectations handily. McCain was playing this debate not to lose, and Obama upstaged him. Neither had a knockout blow, but Obama clearly emerged in a better position than he’d been in going in on foreign policy. McCain got nothing out of last night’s performance.
p.s. McCain couldn’t pronouce the name of Iran’s president, and he got the name of Pakistan’s president wrong. He must be spending too much time with Palin.
JR, you missed my point. My point was that Leo blindly believes in Obama the same way you blindly believe in the Clintons. You are consistent, my friend, I give you that.
You are correct that here is no comparison between the Clintons and Obama except for the fact that they are both in it for themselves. The Clintons are controling, conniving and and not trust worthy. Obama is naive, untested and an elitest. Very different.
Leo, haven’t found a link for McCain mispronouncing name of Pakistani leader yet?
He called him “Qadari.” It’s Zardari.
On another note, Obama won the debate before it started (contrary to the web ad McCain’s campaign posted earlier in the day that claimed McCain had won the debate), when McCain flip-flopped on having to be in D.C. to rescue the financial system. This capped a week in which McCain looked like a chicken without a head. The only thing that helped him with was deflecting attention from what a disaster Palin is.
Leo, like I said, you are embarrassing yourself. You are over the top. Like a tree that falls alone in the forest, no one is listening…
OOOJ, you’re entitled to your opinion, obviously. Four years ago, the right was all over Kerry for so-called flip-flops. McCain is a flip-flop supreme. He can’t even maintain a position for a week (e.g., “The fundamentals of our economy are strong” to “ZOMFGWTFBBQ!!?!?!? I’m needed in Washington right away because we’re on the verge of another GREAT DEPRESSION!!!”
There is someone who’s embarrassing himself, alright, and he’s the GOP candidate for president.
Leo, my friend, you are way over the top and embarrassing yourself. Are you trying to convince everyone else that Obama is the guy or yourself?
If McCain is such a tired old flip flopper as you suggest, why can’t Obama put him away?
And for the record, I was disappointed that:
McCain was GOP nominee
McCain picked Palin instead of Romney
McCain failed to take the lead on the economy a month ago before the current crisis
YFAP, do you think that Leo is actually Larry Kane?
Mr Larry I take Sarah Palin in rickshaw to Irish Pub last night yes last night everybody cheer for John McCain in Pub we drink Johnny Walker black on rock all night I take Sarah back to hotel in rickshaw she goodlooking and smart she say I see New Jersey from hotel wife Kim Lee very jealous Sonny Lee sleep in rickshaw again.
Leo has brain washed me, someone help! I waivered on McCain and now my family and friends don’t want anything to do with me. They call me “Leo’s bitch”, its really mean.
I thought the debate was quite close and very high brow compared to last several election cycles. Juan Willams (my favorite chocolate commentator) graded it like a prize fight, with no knock-outs or knock downs, and a close decision in favor of McCain. That’s how I saw it and it put me on the fence, not fully ready to write off McCain, but I am seriously considering the the great honey walnut colored communicator.
Did anyone know both McCain and Obama’s fathers were alcoholic? Clintons father was as well. You wonder if this commonality says soemthing about these leaders and their current personalities? Also all left handed, myself included. A little pop psychology for the blog boys and sock puppets today.
I’m going car shopping now, great give aways on all brands. I hear consumers can bend over the sales managers and violate them right in the middle of the showroom floor these days if you have cash, its a buyers market! Larry time for you to buy a new car too. Mrs Kane deserves an upgrade, better get her a new car before she upgrades husbands.
Sonny Lee, I saw you outside of the Irish Pub on the news waiting in your rickshaw for Sarah! You are becoming the iconic rickshaw driver of the campaign, keep up the good work, and kim lee please forgive him, he’s your dragon man!
OOOJ, the reason Obama can’t “put [McCain] away” is that there are a lot of people out there who are 1) racist (viz. George) and 2) woefully uninformed. Many of those people vote for a candidate not because of the candidate’s views on crucial issues but because they believe the candidate would make a good drinking buddy, etc. What’s an intelligent man supposed to do when there are so many anti-intellectuals out there who won’t vote for him because of his academic accomplishments and his skin color?
I saw another poll that had men who watched the debate give it to McCain 42% to 40% for Obama, but women who watched the debate–and these are the ones the campaigns are after–giving it to Obama by 58% to 32% for McCain. If McCain has Palin, why couldn’t he win the women?
Sorry, Leo, not working.
Are you sure you are not a Larry sock puppet?
I agree that part of Obama’s problem is race. The bigger problem is his inexperience and partially his elitest attitude.
George, don’t go over to the dark side (Dems). McCain may not be perfect but he won’t get run over by Congress. Obama is no match for the Clintons, Reed, Pelosi and Byrd. 2 years from now they’d be changing the expression to ‘Obama-in-the-headlights’.
Did anyone feel the tension in the air during last night’s debate?…..Neither did I. The boxing match analogy would work if instead of gloves, each candidate had a pillow. Obama spent the whole debate trying to act presidential, and McCain spent the whole debate trying to act as though Obama wasn’t even there.
Don’t worry OOOJ, I’m not going to the dark side just yet. Look at the way Leo shamlessly plays the race card, he feels guilty about being white and wants desperately to have a black president to demonstrate his virtue on racial matters, no matter what the cost or risk to the country.
Obama lacks experience and has not yet proven himself in the senate, so if questioning that makes him call me racist, that’s on him, he’s anast name caller. I’m a patriot as are most of the people here, many of whom (including myself) may vote for Obama, but because it is a close call, not because we want to purge ourselves of racial guilt.
Regarding the intellectual aspect, there’s nothing wrong with that, but when it causes Obama to put too many words and qualifiers in a statement it sounds tentative and comical, like a professor full of himself and the sound of his own words. That type of talk impresses college girls, but not most thinking adults. Parsed bullshit is parsed bullshit, no matter how eleoquently its spoken and regarless of the color of the speaker.
Not once during the debate did I look at Obama and say hey that guy is black. At least I didn’t say it out loud, I don’t think I did. I was at the Irish Pub and had a few. It was so loud in there I’m sure no one heard me……
OOOJ-Leo= Larry ? I dunno,Larry’s kinda old & I’m not sure he would have the stamina to be posting at midnight Friday & early on Saturday morning.They do share an unending love of Obama so anything’s possible.
As for the debate,I didn’t see the aggressive ,confident McCain that I saw during the GOP debates.Not a bad showing but probably didn’t change many undecideds.Oh well,enough for me today,think I’ll go catch the Flyers game.Last NHL game at the Spectrum,could be fun.
Larry would you please delete my last comment. I hit the submit button by mistake. That post was for my eyes only.
Plus I don’t want to be on Leo’s non/pc list
Right, George. Calling someone a “chocolate commentator” isn’t at all racist.
Attributing racial guilt to me is laughable and is simply another racist way of belittling Obama’s accomplishments.
Obama’s answers were direct and in English last night. McCain was the one who kept resorting to impenetrable political jargon.
If anyone believes that you can give away $300 billion in tax cuts on top of the various bailouts and costs of prosecuting the war against terror without cutting spending to the bone or borrowing massive amounts of money from China, I’ve got a country to sell you. McCain had no answer. As Obama pointed out, a spending “freeze” freezes bad spending in place instead of eliminating it.
Ed, calling out someone who is spouting racist views isn’t “PC.” PC is claiming that someone isn’t patriotic enough because he doubted the run up to Iraq. The GOP and right wing commentators have seized the PC mantle.
Leo, you are really losing it, chocolate is not a racist term, just as vanilla is not. I’m sure you remember Vanilla Ice. Juan Williams is a smart commnetator who I respect greatly, calling him chocolate is a term of endearment. You’ve got some serious politically correct hang-ups. You’re the guy that thinks the saying “calling a spade a spade” is racist- since Obama used that term recently I guest he’s a racist, or at least his vanilla half is racist.

How A Clinton-Era Rule Rewrite Made Subprime Crisis Inevitable
By TERRY JONES
INVESTOR’S BUSINESS DAILY | Posted Wednesday, September 24, 2008 4:30 PM PT
One of the most frequently asked questions about the subprime market meltdown and housing crisis is: How did the government get so deeply involved in the housing market?
——————————————————————————–
IBD Exclusive Series: What Caused The Loan Crisis?
——————————————————————————–
The answer is: President Clinton wanted it that way.
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, even into the early 1990s, weren’t the juggernauts they’d later be.
While President Carter in 1977 signed the Community Reinvestment Act, which pushed Fannie and Freddie to aggressively lend to minority communities, it was Clinton who supercharged the process. After entering office in 1993, he extensively rewrote Fannie’s and Freddie’s rules.
In so doing, he turned the two quasi-private, mortgage-funding firms into a semi-nationalized monopoly that dispensed cash to markets, made loans to large Democratic voting blocs and handed favors, jobs and money to political allies. This potent mix led inevitably to corruption and the Fannie-Freddie collapse.
Despite warnings of trouble at Fannie and Freddie, in 1994 Clinton unveiled his National Homeownership Strategy, which broadened the CRA in ways Congress never intended.
Addressing the National Association of Realtors that year, Clinton bluntly told the group that “more Americans should own their own homes.” He meant it.
Clinton saw homeownership as a way to open the door for blacks and other minorities to enter the middle class.
Though well-intended, the problem was that Congress was about to change hands, from the Democrats to the Republicans. Rather than submit legislation that the GOP-led Congress was almost sure to reject, Clinton ordered Robert Rubin’s Treasury Department to rewrite the rules in 1995.
The rewrite, as City Journal noted back in 2000, “made getting a satisfactory CRA rating harder.” Banks were given strict new numerical quotas and measures for the level of “diversity” in their loan portfolios. Getting a good CRA rating was key for a bank that wanted to expand or merge with another.
Loans started being made on the basis of race, and often little else.
“Bank examiners would use federal home-loan data, broken down by neighborhood, income group and race, to rate banks on performance,” wrote Howard Husock, a scholar at the Manhattan Institute.
But those rules weren’t enough.
Clinton got the Department of Housing and Urban Development to double-team the issue. That would later prove disastrous.
Clinton’s HUD secretary, Andrew Cuomo, “made a series of decisions between 1997 and 2001 that gave birth to the country’s current crisis,” the liberal Village Voice noted. Among those decisions were changes that let Fannie and Freddie get into subprime loan markets in a big way.
Other rule changes gave Fannie and Freddie extraordinary leverage, allowing them to hold just 2.5% of capital to back their investments, vs. 10% for banks.
Since they could borrow at lower rates than banks due to implicit government guarantees for their debt, the government-sponsored enterprises boomed.
With incentives in place, banks poured billions of dollars of loans into poor communities, often “no doc” and “no income” loans that required no money down and no verification of income.
By 2007, Fannie and Freddie owned or guaranteed nearly half of the $12 trillion U.S. mortgage market — a staggering exposure.
Worse still was the cronyism.
Fannie and Freddie became home to out-of-work politicians, mostly Clinton Democrats. An informal survey of their top officials shows a roughly 2-to-1 dominance of Democrats over Republicans.
Then there were the campaign donations. From 1989 to 2008, some 384 politicians got their tip jars filled by Fannie and Freddie.
Over that time, the two GSEs spent $200 million on lobbying and political activities. Their charitable foundations dropped millions more on think tanks and radical community groups.
Did it work? Well, if measured by the goal of putting more poor people into homes, the answer would have to be yes.
From 1995 to 2005, a Harvard study shows, minorities made up 49% of the 12.5 million new homeowners.
The problem is that many of those loans have now gone bad, and minority homeownership rates are shrinking fast.
Fannie and Freddie, with their massive loan portfolios stuffed with securitized mortgage-backed paper created from subprime loans, are a failed legacy of the Clinton era.
In the end, Obama won!!!
Interesting read at #30, the other, other, other jim. Thanks for the heads up.
RSG, I thought so as well.
How does it feel to me our newest sock puppet?
Mis amigos recuerdan soh hoy dia Puertor-Riqueno vienen me ensamblam en eldesfile Puertor-Riqueno del dia, recuerdan que sumos tudos los Puertor-Riquenos hoy.
My friends remember today is Puerto-Rican day come join me at the Puerto-Rican day parade,remember today we are all Puerto-Ricans.
Bravo Tito.Ich bin ein Puerto Rican.
Vrooom
Sounds to me like Tito has come out of the closet on gay pride day. Not that there is anything wrong with that. Is Tito spanish for Leo?
Slowed down by parade. Go to go!
Gee I thought today was Gary Heidnik day in Philadelphia. I even borrowed Clorise’s handcuffs for the occasion. Since Sarh Palin was in town I also thought she could give me a recipe for brain stew.
Can someone please tell me when Native American day is?
Little Big Man Native American Day on first full moon on first month you like rickshaw ride it clean it safe it stop at casino you use in parade.
sonny ree you come home now. you razy bum you need to help around house. you not worry about crazy indian on full moon day. reo where are you my rove?
When you can tell me who should get the credit for defeating Custer.If you say Sitting Bull then turn in your card.
So polls are showing Obama widened his lead with his debate performance.
http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-na-poll29-2008sep29,0,2706653.story
Meanwhile, it looks like McCain has a gambling problem and that his inner circle used him to go after Abramoff in order to pick off Abramoff’s clients for themselves, lobbyists with direct access to McCain and his influential committee overseeing casino gambling on Native American lands.
And Sarah Palin has been telling people that dinosaurs and people were roaming the earth together about 6,000 years ago because she has seen human footprints inside of dinosaur footprints. ALRIGHTY THEN!
Crazy Horse was the man.
reo you and your rinks. how we gonna get it on if you on computer all the time?
Tina Fay had another good night at Palin’s expense, it was all fair stuff after the real Couric interview. This Thursday promises to be quite a car accident and could be the begining of the end for McCain if she repeats her recent performance. The good news is Obama is a much better alternative than Kerry was, so it shouldn’t too bad if he wins, and hopefully it will be much better than it is now! I like the way Obama frequently invokes Reagan, maybe he’s really Ronny’s illegitimate son, and the CIA gave him this new identity; think about it, both his parents are dead and the remaining grandmother has not agreed to DNA testing…and Ronny was originally a Democrat!
Larry, c’mon Fishman and Dunkleberg you’ve got to be kidding me. BTW Fishman had to be wearing a rug. See you next week on The Fear Factor.
Larry,it’s 3 am (even though your clock say 2 am)the chance of anyone answering the phone at the Whitehouse will be slim to none the call will probably be transferred to India.
Mccain and Obama are the weakest pair of candidates since Franklin Pierce beat Winfield Scott in 1852 and he didn’t need a half billion dollars to do it.
Larry,if a 3 am call is needed it will be wise just to call the Clinton’s at home.
Well,you’re half right.
JR, I’m not old enough to remember Franklin Pierce or Winfield Scott. I don’t think I can comment on them. Winfield Scott is an American war hero from Civil War and Spanish American Wars.
I do agree that after billons of dollars and an exhaustive process, we should be able to end up with 2 attractive, qualified candidates. That hasn’t happened since 1960.
LARRY, PLEASE CHANGE THE BLOG.
SUGGESTED TOPIC: How do we attract better candidates for President?
JR, why doesn’t the White House have their line permanently redirected to your phone. You are the only one in America up at 3AM. Even the security guards everywhere are sleeping. Are you ready and up to the challenge?
reo you are strangery ignoring my advances. i’m beginning to think you not interesed in women. no more rinks reo.
sonny ree you in deep kimchee. you not come home all night. you better have pocket full of cash.
OOOJ-What,you weren’t excited by Ford-Carter in ’76 ?
YFAP, not since 1908 when William Taft ran against 2 time loser Willian Jennings Bryant.
GF played too many games without a helmet. Not sure what JC’s excuse was. Too much time exposed to radiation on nuclear subs?
YAP, what is Kim Shee’s preoccupation with ‘reo’?
I dunno,my guess is she’s lonely,notices how often “reo” posts & figures he most be too.
mr. pirate me so horny. only pirate satisfy kim chee. love you long time. no rickshaw husbnand he in deep kimchee. no reo and rinks. twenty dolla. love you long time.
Been there,done that.Who could ever forget the veranda on the Continental ?
Pirates have struck again off the coast of Somalia. They are asking for twenty million in ransom for a Ukrainian ship with a hull full of tanks. Gee I hope none of our pirates are involved. Although I did receive a notice from Capt. Hook which stated “Arrrrg, would you be interested in an off road vehicle with plenty of power?”
BTW, Sonny Lee apparently a local race track is holding rickshaw races next week. If you know where Harrington Park is I’d suggest you get down there. That is unless you are addicted to gambling. The Inquirer this morning had a big article about how you Asians can’t live next to a casino. The smell of blackjack in the air makes it impossible for your people to resist. As Jack Parr used to say “I kid you not”…….
Asians can’t live next to casinos..poppycock!!! next thing you’ll hear from the Inquirer is they want a day to celebrate native Americans. That would be impossible. Name one holiday that doesn’t involve alcohol in this country. Being Irish I know a lot of you would say St. Patty’s day. A very reverent celebration of a man who rid Ireland of all the rats and such, or was that the Pied Piper? Anyway, we all know that to give native Americans a day would cut into Black History month. Wilson Goode jr and his fancy well paid assistant would never go for that. I’ll ask Fox 29 if they could look into this for me.
Ed, you are very active this morning. No doubt trying to make up for an inactive group of bloggers. Once we counted on sock puppets. Then pirates. Who is next rickshaw racing asians or casino owning native americans?
This just in. Native Alaskans are in an uproar after being told that Puerto Ricans held a parade yesterday celebrating Puerto Rican day. They wanted to know why no one came to their Whale Blubber Day party, or the Holey Polar Bear festival. They could understand that Gore a Seal Day might be a little too graphic for the kids. When told about this outrage, Sarah Palin told a reporter that she would be returning home with enough Eskimo Pies to make all the natives happy.
OOOJ, I do feel a little frisky today. After a weekend full of doom and gloom on the financial front I am starting to come out of my depression, somewhat. Besides this being the Jewish New Year, I knew we wouldn’t be hearing from Larry. He’s probably off some where getting plastered. Happy New Year Larry if you are still coherent. I had Manischewitz once and it took a week before my bowels returned to normal. That probably where they came up with the slogan “Man Ohhhhhhhh Manischewitz.”
Kim Lee you disgrace to Sonny Lee and family Lee Lee and Bruce Lee Kim Lee I send you back to homeland to father you cross line you hit on Leo Sonny Lee turn back on Kim Lee.
Mr Ed Sonny Lee too old for rickshaw race but son Bruce enter race Sonny Lee have many problem start drink again.
One Day we will have a Native American President and with the help of MSNBC,NBC,CBS,ABC,CNN,PBS and Larry that dream will come true.
sonny ree you the one in trouble. you out all night. you not bring home cash. you not take care of my needs. what a woman to do?
Hey guys!You forgot me.
I have been hanging out with Sarah Palin at the Four Seasons.She and I have been swapping makeup tips while she practices her debate makeup application.I mentioned rickshaws to her.She does not know what they are but thinks that Putin might have some.Sonny will you please bring one over.She wants to go to Geno’s for a salmonmoosesteak.
Kerri I once rode in rickshaw and contracted a STD. My boyfriend said that it happens all the time with rickshaws. Since then I only take rides on tractors. Last night however, my boyfriend told me I might catch STD from those too. He said I better go see a doctor.
Alycia Sarah says in Alaska you get it from snowmobiles.She got it from Todd’s snowmobile.She asks if rickshaws are like dog sleds.She got an STD from a dog sled also.
Soverign Bank is on deck gentleman. opened at $8.75, down $5.50 to $2.75, looks like they are next. Bailout bill doesnt really matter, the problem is capital and the banks just don’t have it. There are now a bunch of regional banks at risk of failure after Wacovia’s fall, be sure to keep all of your accounts within FDIC limits at all times!
Girls if you are lokking for a safe ride, look no further. We at Karl’s Kabs
supply riders with protection from STDs. We don’t have seat belts but I’m sure you both have taken a ride or two without being securely fastened in. If you know what I mean
John McCain’s return to Washington, D.C., did not yield the hoped for returns. Now he wrongly surmised that the GOP leadership would be able to hold the rank and file together. And where is he? Has he suspended his campaign to address this financial disaster now that he might actually be needed?
GW, McCain thought he force Obama out of the debate under guise of national crisis. Obama called his bluff. McCain went running to Mississippi. Another failed McCain strategy. Polls are indicative of that.
Palin will likely beat Biden on Thursday night. It won’t make much of a difference.
As hard as Obama tried to make Palin the issue, it really boils down to McCain.
Let’s hope McCain has one last, large trump card to play in the final 10 days. It may too late for that antway.
LARRY, PLEASE CHANGE BLOG TOPIC!
CAN YOU ADD SPELL CHECK FEATURE FOR THOSE OF US THAT ARE CHALLENGED?
The other, other, other Jim said: LARRY, PLEASE CHANGE THE BLOG. SUGGESTED TOPIC: How do we attract better candidates for President?
That is a good topic. Maybe if the “Holier than thou” segment of America would stop going back to every mistake that potential candidates had made in the past we would have more/better people step forward. It seems we can’t recognize that a mistake made in the past does not necessarily reflect potential judgments.
I think the process of expecting ‘perfect’ people as opposed to ‘normal’ people is the problem. Anyway, it is interesting.
JR, you never say anything that makes sense. Weren’t you the one going on and on about how Obama would never get the nomination even though you ‘liked’ him? You supported Clinton but you now support McCain even though Clinton does not want McCain in the White House? You make about as much sense as Governor Palin.
RSG-If you think that Hillary Clinton wants obama in the white house you are senseless you nitwit.
i make the most sense at 3AM. so does hillary clinton – the grace kelly of our time.
****
sad to see cool hand luke go. he was a good actor and a great person.
****
bill clinton is trying to stop the barry obama machine. if anyone can do it bill can. he is masterful.
****
did anyone see rosie o’donnell on that new hbo show last night? something like little britain or something like that. they realy made fun of her being a lesbian.
JR, the only reason why you would be up at 3am is because no woman, not even Hilary, would comfort you to sleep. So, you sit up in the wee hours of the morning thinking up Jerry Springer-ish nonsense to say and mistake it for wisdom. Remember, you are part of that dumb dumb demographic her camp was looking for. Hahaha
Larry as you know #81 is a jack russell sock puppet.
ready set go I am sure you are well loved in the gay community,we see you are a very worried obama bin laden hack.
