For those of who were asking about the McCain calling Cindy a cunt.

WE HAVE A SAFER NATION?

Oh for the love of god Obama, go for the kill here. Start namedropping every motherfucker you can think of, and even make some up!

 

[heliosRAzi]

Obama is being more calm and cordial but its making him seem passive. He's just giving up on questions when McCain out shouts him.

He's also black. If he starts yelling, he will be seen as the angry black man

 

[Chiggs]

What a tremendously dumb response by McCain.

This.

 

[Dolphin]

Towards the end there McCain came off as a bumbling old man, Obama starts talking and McCain starts mumbling to himself.

 

[thefit]

9/11 9/11!!!

 

[Insane Metal]

Oh shit McCain freezed for like 5 seconds in this last question lol

 

[Kildace]

Jesus Christ Obama, fight for it, don't let it go, McCain never does!!!

 

[Caj814]

we are safe. . . but a long way from being safe.

HOLD ME!

 

[gkryhewy]

People here think McCain is WINNING?!?!?

Obama needs to stop trying to cut in on McCain and then let McCain talk over him. It makes him look weak.

 

[RubxQub]

What a tremendously dumb response by McCain.

Depends on how Obama counters, but yes, that was fucking bad.

 

[Alcander]

McCain acts like a huge prick during debates

 

[Brannon]

Rudy is orgasming right now.

 

[StoOgE]

What a tremendously dumb response by McCain.

that hesitation was bad before he answered on another 9/11

 

[HolyStar]

Obama didn't do very well in the Democratic debates against Hillary but he did better in this one.

 

[DeathbyVolcano]

This debate makes me sad

 

[Lemonz]

9/11!

 

[sprsk]

You guys are wrong.

 

[Acerac]

I don't see what the hell is wrong with you Americans. Obama agress with McCain when the two agree, he makes complete and accurate answers, and is quite honest. I don't see how he's losing, unless you're going by pure presentation, which is why you guys have such problems in the first place.

 

[Judderman]

Obama needs to stop trying to cut in on McCain and then let McCain talk over him. It makes him look weak.

He's had a balance of cutting him of and attempts of cutting him off and then letting him finish.

 

[Funky Papa]

Obama lost this debate. Good thing there's two more.

Pretty much. He may have the facts, but he is coming unexperienced as fuck. And some of you people may not care about his stuttering, but it is becoming problematic considering McCain's smooth tone and the way he pours the BS.

 

[cashman]

get him OBama.

 

[maximum360]

King and Bennett are the only ones who have McCain positive.

 

[MIMIC]

McCain trying to out shout Obama when he was being called on his bullshit is really prickish

 

[grandjedi6]

Did he just mention torture?

 

[StoOgE]

People here think McCain is WINNING?!?!?

I think its basically a wash with a slight Obama tilt right now, which is overall a win for Obama considering this is the FP debate.

 

[Askani]

You guys are wrong.

Who and in what regard?

[X26]

pretty shitty that the moderator has consistently cut off obama's responses but has let mccain keep shouting

 

[thefit]

He was for expanding government but he just said we wants to cu big government and fire everyone who isn't a pow!

Ok, try this. Listen to nothing of what they are actually saying. Focus on tone of voice and the occasional sound bite. Now you're watching the debate like ~70% of Americans do.

 

[3rdman]

This thing will come down as a "tie"...which is to say that Obama has passed the threshold he needed to do tonight. McCain is a good debater and he's on his turf but he didn't do enough to move the polls I'd wager.

 

[Rewrite]

Rudy is orgasming right now.

:lol

 

[gkryhewy]

You guys are wrong.

McCain came off as a weird old Red Bull addict.

 

[Judderman]

Obama needs to stop trying to cut in on McCain and then let McCain talk over him. It makes him look weak.

He's had a balance of successful "cut-offs" and letting him finish his point. For a moment during the debate I thought he was doing it too much.

 

[pxleyes]

You guys are wrong.

buh?

 

[GenericPseudonym]

Uggghhh.

 

[Crisis]

Obama is right on the issues but he's not forcing through on this. Lehrer and Obama just let McCain interrupt whenever the hell he feels like it. And Obama being cordial would work nicely if McCain was too. He obviously is not being cordial.

 

[Atrus]

Russia won't just let "peacekeepers" leave Georgia

The point was to dismantle the peacekeeping disguise by trying to displace them with international peace keepers. In this way the Russian ability to propagandize this event as an attack on their and only their 'peacekeepers' would be hobbled and would contrast drastically to the more restrained reaction an international force would have had.

It would also have mitigated a Georgian attack when they potentially endanger their NATO bid by accidentally killing of NATO allies in a conflict.

 

[dasein]

In terms of the dynamics of the debate, McCain really does make Obama look naive; unexperienced.

 

[GhaleonEB]

Obama didn't do very well in the Democratic debates against Hillary but he did better in this one.

Agree. He's come across as very knowledgeable.

I don't want another nuclear 9/11 holocaust either. I'm voting for FREEDOM and PEACE.

Explain.

 

[Speevy]

To an uninformed American, the more confident, assertive, and least rebutted candidate wins the debate.

Yes, McCain sounds like a weird old Red Bull addict. Obama is the calm one. Confident. No mistakes. He won. At worst tied, which is winning for the FP debate. He answered the question, "can this young weirdo hold his own?"

 

[sprsk]

Who and in what regard?

The people saying Obama needs to interrupt and throw more attacks at McCain. He has been doing it, but he knows when to play his cards. McCain is just acting out all the time.
