  5. Right off the top McCain blows a perfectly good opportunity to lay the blame for the sub-prime debacle at the feet of interfering government. Obama blamed Bush & McCain, and McCain let it go.

  7. Amazing that the Americans actually know how to conduct a debate. Nothing like the circus we experienced last week.
    This is much better and more interesting.

  15. McCain sounds like a grandpa reading to his grandkids. This is just about over.

  16. I predict Obama, 1 term, tripple the deficit and an economy in ruin. Ayers will be the secretary of state.

  17. Oops, Rocky just started to sputter there. McCain’s starting to get some traction after all that wheelspin.
    Rocky’s a friggin’ communist.

  19. As Jimmie Walker used to say about Bill Ayers in the Chicago Projects:
    “DYYYNOOOMITTTE”

  22. Barry’s mom was 53 when she was died from cancer. Now let’s see,did she not have a son who would be about 35 and wealthy that could have helped her out? Mom,brother,is there anyone that Obama will help but himself?…

  26. Barry….Cambodia…Bin Laden….reverse course…Pakistan Barry…encourage democracy and shoot them some bucks…kill him if we absolutely have too!
    The Old man kicks him in the jewels.
    Syncro

  28. Obama just said he doesn’t support invading Pakistan ,but if Pakistan is unable or unwilling to give up Osama they will go in. WTF?

  29. “I’m going to drink every time they say Harper.”
    LOL
    I can’t watch it. I turned it on to an Obama distortion that so stretched it may as well be a lie. I know I am going to have to watch him lie for the next four years when Jindahl takes his job. The way he lies, it might be Pres Biden by that time.

  31. The Ubermessiah has a barritone voice; this is what misleads people into thinking he is a good speaker.
    Come on guys! Oratory 101.
    This man cannot think and speak at the same time. That capability defines an orator.

  32. Phantom: “Barry’s a pretty good speaker. Damn it.”
    My husband says the same thing: Obama’s “impressive.” I just don’t see it. Every time he talks, he reminds me of a smooth, condescending ‘expert’ coming down to the level of the not-as-smart folks he’s trying to explain the world to.
    I can’t get past his presentation style which reeks of phony to me. He’s a good actor–or, depending on your viewpoint, a “bad actor.” He sure knows how to use all the right words: hope, change, yada, yada. He knows ZIP about national defence and I just can’t see him as Commander in Chief. The world will be a more volatile, less stable place if Barry becomes POTUS.
    I just don’t think Obama means what he says. He just means to become POTUS.

  33. I have changed the rules of my drinking game. It’s my game and I can do that. I am now going to pour one whenever my glass is either half-full or half-empty.

  36. This is a town hall format. I’m surprised how much foreign policy is coming up. Bread and butter and financial crisis wins this one.

  38. Jophn @ 9.42, I also predict the Ubermessiah for one term.
    It will be the end of the left in the USA.
    However, it will probably be very costly to the USA, just as the CArter thingy was. That bad, if not, probably, worse.

  39. Wallyj, @1024, my variant is: I pour my drink when I run out, or when you do. I expect to win 🙂

  40. the ums and ahs dont make the speech very Churchillian. but Churchill had to wait for a biographer to do his life. he wrote 43 books in 70 plus volumes , but not about himself.

  41. Viewers at Chez Phantom are calling for an Obama win in November. He’s a prat, but the stock market just nailed the lid on McCain.
    I really hated Jimmy Carter. This is going to be SO much worse.

  43. Interesting how Obama contradicted himself so completely in that last bit. He was born poor and got to the best schools through scholarships but now students aren’t going to school because they can’t afford it. But… you just said… you got to school through scholarships cause you had no money! Huh?

  44. I think Barry may be a little handicapped by the necessity of minimizing the ‘revival preacher’ aspects of his speaking style in order to help distance himself from Mr. Wrong, Rev Wright. Not that I agree with him much, but he would probably be a more effective speaker if he felt more able to ‘be himself’. He does have a pleasant sounding voice, if that was a major criterion for POTUS he would be a shoo-in.
    Wallyj is a lush. I will only refill when my glass is half empty, and so should only drink half as much;)

  47. I think the Ubermessiah will not even be a full term president. I reckon he will be revealed to be a puppet for the left aristocracy and ignored after two years, even by the liberal media. The USA does not tolerate aristocracy.
    There will be a vacuumn, or interegnum, for the USA for two years. This will be disasterous for the Western world. Then, Palin will become the first female US president and she will be tough, fair, and re-establish global order.
    This is the way it shall be … more or less.

  48. “obamessiah thinks clinton should have gone in to save the Rwandans”
    Look for the Clinton machine to work 24×7 for McCain after that shot.
    The question Obamessiah forgot to ask about Rwanda is:
    “What would Bill Ayers do?”

  49. This is the way it shall be … more or less.
    So let it be written; so let it be done. Yul Brenner.
