“that would be an act of aggression that we would — that I would consider an attack that is unacceptable. And the United States would take appropriate action.”

Translation: My name is Senator Obama and I wouldn’t have a freakin’ clue about what to do in a crisis.

I’m glad the debate was shown on ABC nationally. More people saw how bad the Dims were.

Both Clinton and Obama were rattled as ABC moderators Charlie Gibson and George Stephanopolous grilled them on a number of issues that have not been brought into focus before.

If you're a Democrat and you can get rattled by Charlie Gibson and George Stephanopolous, imagine how you'd crumble if you ever met a real journalist inquiring about Tony Rezko or how you made $100,000 in the cattle futures market.

Not that there actually ARE any real journalists. This is debate # 20 and just now the hard fastball is "do you favor wearing an American flag pin on your lapel?".

Obama responded unconvincingly, saying that even though he had a close relationship with Wright that spanned decades, it wasn't until he read an article in Rolling Stone that he found out that the reverend had delivered inflammatory sermons

So you sit in a church for 20 years and you don't know what's being said until you read it in Rolling Stone?

How on Earth are you going to find out about Kim Jung Il? Watch Team America World Police?

When Obama was asked a question about his relationship with domestic terrorist Ayers, he made the outlandish parallel to his friendship with conservative Sen. Tom Coburn, who is a fierce opponent of abortion.

Why mention him by name? Why not just "some of my best friends are white people."

she said she would, upon taking office, ask her security advisers, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the Secretary of Defense to draw up plans to begin a pullout within 60 days.

She couldn't even get Bill to pull out of Monica.

Obama dodged the question with boilerplate about the need to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons, before eventually arriving at, "that would be an act of aggression that we would -- that I would consider an attack that is unacceptable. And the United States would take appropriate action."

Let's say, hypothetically, that Iraq had a dictator and he invaded a sovereign country, launched rockets at Israel, lit all of the oil wells in Kuwait on fire, gassed his own people, and actively sought weapons of mass destruction. What action would be appropriate for the United States to take?

Like most Democrats Obama could care less about foreign policy. So he’s not up to speed on worldwide problems. He’s bored by them .....

What really excites Hillary and Obama is making our system more socialist with more gimme programs and national medical care. And just coincidently these are vote buying programs. So they both take money from people who work hard to make good money and give it their Dem constituents. Buying votes from them. Don’t expect logic from the typical Democrat voter. He wants three things. Cheap gasoline. More Gubbermint gimme programs and no Iraq war because that means less gimme payments to him

Asked why he would consider nearly doubling capital gains taxes even though historically revenue has gone up from lowering the rates, Obama got flustered.

Of course he got flustered. He got flustered because he can't say what he really thinks, which is that to him setting tax rates is primarily an issue of morality, not of raising revenue. For lefties like Obama, heavy progressive taxation equals social justice, and that's all that really matters.

What’s this, Charlie Gibson and George Stephanopolous asking TOUGH questions?

I am shocked!

ABC moderators are supposed to throw soft ball questions at Democrats.

Hillary is not pleased. Heads will fall at ABC! The Race pimps will be howling that Obama was disrespected!

MR. GIBSON:  But history shows that when you drop the capital gains tax, the revenues go up.

SENATOR OBAMA:  Bumblebee Tuna!!

  I haven't watched a debate in a while, but I've been enjoying the transcript. Gibson asked a very good question. In fact, there were several good questions asked during the debate. I'm shocked!

Hmm, "The" reverund wrong was a Marine. So were Lee Harvey Oswald and the UT tower shooter of about 30 years ago. Something else I'm sure they all have in common--the USMC is probably most assuredly not proud of their association. Better they earned a posthumous Purple Heart then their post USMC noteriety.

Cpl RushLake, USMC, is standing in the breach this morning, proud to be doing so, and not planning on trashing his country or murdering anyone except hopefully some terrorist filth.

Meanwhile, Obama declared that because Wright served as a Marine, "I believe that he loves this country."

Wasn't Lee Harvey Oswald a Marine too?

Dang, Sean Hannity had George S. on his radio show this week and asked him to bring up the Ayers connection to Obama. Steffi said he would, I thought, "yeah, right." Score one for the maligned Hannity. He's been pounding this terrorist Ayers connection for a long time.

The democrat grown ups, if there is such a thing, in the deepest most darkest recessess of their private thoughts (if they are capable of such thought) have got to be wondering how they allowed these two ding bats to get to center stage.

This was an amazing B. Hussein moment, on the Second Amendment....

“Just because you have a right does not mean that the state or local government cannot constrain that right...”

Its amazing GOD gave me the right, The Founders restated that right,and B. Hussien, thinks he can now regulate it.

The man thinks he knows more than god.

I'd wager that most Americans who listened to Wright shout, "God damn America" would come to a different conclusion.

McPain campaign ad (if Obambi's the candidate). Split screen. Jerimiah Wright..."God Damn America". Pope Benedict...."God Bless America". Nothing else.

The debate was a wonderful thing to watch. I enjoyed watching Hillary and Obama try to answer some of those tough questions...

They both sounded pretty stupid but I didn’t see anything that is going to derail Hussein’s march to the nomination. Hillary was toast before the debate, she’s still toast after the debate.

I used to think I wanted more of a dimowit fight for the nomination, that it would be better if Hillary were strong enough to have a real shot.

But after watching last night, and seeing how stupid Hussein looks, I’m fine with Hillary going down in flames relatively early (probably in the next 30 days).

It’s nice to see the Annointed Queen end up in the gutter.

Very nice indeed.
