Obama Looks Presidential in Debate Against McCain

Reader Comments
Back to blog

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!

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.

Sounds to me, when they use terms like 'liar' and 'terrorist', when referring to Obama, that they come across with the attitudes of junk-yard dogs, rather than of Presidential and VP candidates. Do we really want people like this governning and representing the nation? Or are we so far gone in standards of public decency that voters do not care? What on earth do people in other countries think of the nastiness that comes out of the mouths of these people?

If all parties other than the majors agreed to be represented by one independent spokesperson -- a Bob Barr or a Ralph Nader, for example -- an essential third opinion could be heard.

Should read:

Honestly, I am from Jamaica, am black, and I was just a bit amused by John McCain calling Obama "that one". Growing in a mixed race society where white mothers and black fathers or black mothers and white mothers are the norm - not to mention that any given person may also have Indian, Chinese or other race in the mix, we don't have so much of a problem with color - however, I really did not feel offended by it- it was just amusing and I believe McCain was too nervous to be racially aggressive.
If Sarah Palin had said it, I believe it would be racist - because she is all that is crude, low and cruel in the American psyche. Her humor is sarcastic - the lowest form of wit, I'm told - and she really is lacking in REAL humor.
John McCain, no matter how I might not like him at times, has a genuine, if sometimes misplaced sense of humor. This was just a bad attempt at it, I think....

A turning point and 2 words for the ages
--
Remember the debate in 2008 when the out of control McCain was so enraged by having to face Barack Obama as his presidental rival candidate that he could not say "Senator", or, "Obama", or "my friend" or any title worthy of a human being - instead McCain uttered - "That one" - so revealing as stated by McCain -almost as if he thought he were in a race with a non-human.

McCain has shown an increasing amount of disrespect to Obama. Not addressing by his name and/or title has shown his disdain for Obama.McCain is not suited for the presidency if he is unable to show respect towards his "enemies."

Seems more like someone had clearly coached Senator O about how to walk, talk and sit like a TV celebrity. Oh, yeah, and how to plaster that wide-eyed incredulous look on his face. Who was his deportment teacher? Thanks, but I prefer "real" personality, regardless of the candidate, and this wasn't his. Rhetoric was same ol' same ol' from both.
