Obama Looks Presidential in Debate Against McCain
For an instant verdict on the second presidential debate, few of the talking heads last night offered a more trenchant analysis (in that I fully agreed with it) than Pat Buchanan, one of my favorite conservative commentators.
John McCain was the aggressor, sort of. Barack Obama looked presidential, again.
And looking like a president was, is, and will be the single most important task for Obama in the fall of 2008.
To quote Buchanan, after watching Obama for 90 minutes: "This isn't some radical."
Nope. It's, maybe, a president.
And folks, let's not make a big deal about McCain calling Obama "that one."
My saintly Irish grandmother referred to whoever happened to be ticking her off at the moment as "that one."
It's an old-fashioned way of conveying annoyance and outrage. Not disrespect.

ACTORS CAN "LOOK" PRESIDENTIAL ...
So far, all the conclusions by all the pundits are
totally based upon POLLS. Not a single actual vote
has been cast yet. Obama supporters gush at how
well their man has done in the debates, which proves
once again that Obama is a good debater and a good
speaker. It doesn't say anything about his character,
judgement, or what kind of a leader he would be.
I still would rather trust a man who would not sell out
his fellow prisoners, even during 5 years of torture,
than to trust a man who betrayed a 20 year friendship,
for personal ambition. And ... regarding this election,
until people actually vote ... it ain't over till it's over!
Obama McCain
The media has not done its job if it thinks Obama told the truth last night. I spent my whole day yesterday reading the Chicago Sun Times, Wash. Post, World Net Daily, and others to see what was really going on with Resko, Ayers, Acorn. What I read blew my mind. Obama outright has lied to the American public about his connections, and you all as the media have sold us down the river of distrust and dishonesty. The media for some reason, is either also liberal left to the point of destroying our country, or they are just ignorant, and truly do not know how to do journalism. I am just a private citizen, and the info. I found, was more than a passing glance type of relationship. Acorn alone, Ayers and Obama worked together to put millions of dollars into these type groups, and education for radical political agendas, and more. They met more than two or three times and Ayers actually hired Obama to distribute and manage some of the funds, and head boards, Woods - Chicago Annenberg Challenge, and Acorn. Worst, Ayers used them to further his radical views. Isn't it funny, if a man is a child perv, he is on a list for life, and can not be around kids, here we have a man, an admitted domestic bomber, over 30 places, and wrote about it, and how they wish they had done more, and we allow him to teach our kids. Has America completely lost its sanity, common sense, and its way to protect us the citizens of America????? And I did not even touch on Resko - that relationship is even more indepth and missed!

That mcslime and the fascist alaska empty bikini will be in the WH for the next 8 years is obvious to me. the polls shd have shown obama way ahead--his campaign is so clearly superior in moral and governmental tone. The undecideds at this late stage are in fact pro-mcslime for only one reason--he is white. our republic is no way ready to turn the page. Instead palin's appaling lies show that she is dialing back to a white supremacist past. tragically we will soon be like nazi germany, morally and economically bankrupt and ascendent only on the demonic wings of militarism and racism.
