Support NeoGAF

[Tamanon]

Yeah that was a good answer, framing the whole Iraq thing as a philosophy instead of a problem.

 

[strikeselect]

Wolf wants to instigate :lol

 

[Particle Physicist]

wolf is such a douche. glad she didnt take the bait.

 

[harSon]

Nothing. I'm just not impressed with politicians who rely on empty, sentimental rhetoric.

You're impressed with politicians who change from week to week, both politically and characteristically?

 

[Akia]

What was Hillary's killer line? I was on the phone and missed it.

 

[lil smoke]

Which is better I think. It's better to go after current opponents than after someone you're not going to be running against.

I don't think so. Not with so many people in the middle. Especially with McCain.

 

[avaya]

What's wrong with going after Bush?

Even the Republican's last night didn't wanna be associated with him.

It's a Democratic Primary, attacking this clusterfuck of an administration should be natural.

 

[GhaleonEB]

Finally got home so I can watch this online. Obama nailed that last exchange.

And then it was a love-in for a sec there.

 

[alr1ght]

Yes, please bring up the electability.

 

[Master Thespian]

Does Wolf HATE Obama, or is he just trying to create spicy television?

 

[Particle Physicist]

What was Hillary's killer line? I was on the phone and missed it.

it takes a bush to fix a bush.

or something along those lines.

 

[Amused_To_Death]

I don't understand how she speaks out of one side of her mouth and blames the Bush administration when she voted for the war in the first place!?

 

[SleazyC]

it takes a bush to fix a bush.

or something along those lines.

It was something along the lines of "It took a Clinton last time to clean up the mess made by a Bush..."

 

[topsyturvy]

Does Wolf HATE Obama, or is he just trying to create spicy television?

pretty much spicy tv

 

[Ether_Snake]

Fuck I can,t get the stream>:|

EDIT: NM

 

[Particle Physicist]

i was a joking.

 

[Piper Az]

Wow. Obama is not very convincing/impressive when he's thinking on the fly. Interesting. Quite a bit of stuttering and stammering.

I still liked what he had to say more than Clinton.

Do you think Einstein was a smooth talker when described the Law of Relativity?

Oh, come on! /Gob

 

[Tamanon]

Let's see what her answer is to this.:lol

 

[PhoenixDark]

You're impressed with politicians who change from week to week, both politically and characteristically?

Of course not. I applaud Obama for being against the war from the start. But I'm more interested in current substance

And wtf @ the constant mischaracterization of McCain's "100 years" comment.

 

[Dolphin]

Why is Hill getting all the questions?

 

[sangreal]

:lol Obama supporters dominate the internet so these online poll questions are really not fair

 

[dasein]

stuttering, lying, stammering, uhm, ah, uh, etc.

 

[Anno]

I think Hillary seems more genuine in this debate than in those previous. So far I think she has the slight edge in this debate, though neither have hurt their chances.

Need more Anderson Cooper, though, and farrrr less Wolf.

 

[topsyturvy]

I don't understand how she speaks out of one side of her mouth and blames the Bush administration when she voted for the war in the first place!?

She just answered your question, very well too. :/

 

[deadbeef]

I don't understand how she speaks out of one side of her mouth and blames the Bush administration when she voted for the war in the first place!?

She was for the war before she was against the war?

I would much rather have a President who can change their mind when a situation changes rather than blindly moving forward when something isn't working.

 

[APF]

He thinks he is being spied on by evil Republicans CIA FBI NSA, so he acts Republican to make sure "they" know he's on "their" site.

Republicans like Obama. They dislike Hillary.

 

[Rur0ni]

Lots of "We" talk.

 

[RiskyChris]

Hillary is getting like 90% of airtime, can we get some Obama questions ffs?

 

[harSon]

What was Hillary's killer line? I was on the phone and missed it.

It was basically Hillary piggy backing on the Clinton name once again.

 

[Tamanon]

She just answered your question, very well too. :/

Basically she said I supported the war, but wish that I didn't

 

[scorcho]

Nothing. I'm just not impressed with politicians who rely on empty, sentimental rhetoric.

you're joking, right? that whole line from Hillary that essentially said 'vote for me because of Bill's presidency, but i'm my own leader!' was pure silliness and completely incongruent.

 

[sangreal]

good opportunity for obama on the levin amendment

 

[Anno]

+1 for using "gravitas".

 

[Dolphin]

I would much rather have a President who can change their mind when a situation changes rather than blindly moving forward when something isn't working.

I would rather have a President that makes intelligent decisions over popular ones.

 

[topsyturvy]

Basically she said I supported the war, but wish that I didn't

thats a bad thing?

 

[scorcho]

i'll say this again, in bold - the surge is not working because its original goal is simply unmet!

the surge was meant to bring about breathing room for political reconciliation. that hasn't happened, it likely won't happen, and now we're at a complete stasis.

 

[sangreal]

I want you to respond, but in the context of this entirely different question

 

[deadbeef]

I would rather have a President that makes intelligent decisions over popular ones.

How can one make intelligent decisions when one is presented with inaccurate Intelligence (e.g. bogus reports of WMD, etc)?

 

[Dolphin]

Great Obama answer.

 

[Amused_To_Death]

She was for the war before she was against the war?

I would much rather have a President who can change their mind when a situation changes rather than blindly moving forward when something isn't working.

She was in the White House for 8 years so she had plenty of time to make an educated decision, she made the wrong one, she can't say "what I know now what I didn't know then" and get away with it, someone needs to call her on that...

 

[Grizzlyjin]

Nothing. I'm just not impressed with politicians who rely on empty, sentimental rhetoric.

Well I know that can't be true, cause you seem to be siding up with Hillary in this thread. I'm all for Obama personally, but you gotta be full of hot air yourself if you think one is more sincere than the other. The only politicians that don't give lip service during these debates are the nuts like Kucinich and Paul.

 

[avaya]

Fantastic answer from Obama!

 

[maximum360]

To this day though, she has nevered admiitted to making a mistake in supporting the war, same as the Bush administration.

 

[dasein]

has he actually answered the Q? I guess...sort of.

 

[Tamanon]

She was in the White House for 8 years so she had plenty of time to make an educated decision, she made the wrong one, she can't say "what I know now what I didn't know then" and get away with it, someone needs to call her on that...

There's Wolf calling her out on that.:lol

 

[Manmademan]

thats a bad thing?

its a bad thing when you're running against someone who had the sense to never support the plan in the first place.

remember, this is a question about Judgement, not remorse.

 

[Particle Physicist]

thats a bad thing?

yes. she needs better judgement on issues such as starting a war.



EDIT
:lol two similar answers to the same post at the same time.

 

[Rur0ni]

I think PD said he hated the Obama meme on GAF, so it is inhibiting his thought processes.

 

[Ether_Snake]

yes

 

[harSon]

It's perfectly fine but it's the equivalent of Tookie Williams attempting to abolish the Crips.
