Summary of Obama's debate performance tonight: "I've got a bracelet, too."
PBS ^ | 9/26/2008 | PBS

Posted on 09/26/2008 7:20:38 PM PDT by Notwithstanding

Barack was the very junior senator on the defensive the entire evening.

After John McCain eloquently (and without notes) discussed the bracelet he wears given to him by the mom of a dead Iraq war vet.

Trying to prove his own support for the troops, Obama chimed in with a pathetic "I've got a bracelet, too," as he looked down at his notes to read the name of the soldier.

Ya, I notice that too. He didn’t know the name of the soldier off the top of his head, and it was so obvious he had to look it up.

The debate started slow. I was a little worried McCain was not going to go on the offensive. After a half hour McCain turned in to a freaking pit bull. He is scoring points left and right. Obama is on the defensive and sounding amazingly naive.

I went to a high school football game. Who won and why? By win, I mean convinced the ignorant undecided 10% still persuadable voters?

He’s clearly a moron and that’s one of his good points.

McCain has managed to bring out Obamma’s youth and inexperience. BO is NOT presidential material.

He really should have waited his turn until 2012 or beyond.

Why does the DNC keep running further leftists each election?

Gore to Kerry to Obama.

At this rate we are going to keep the White House and regain Congress in 2010.

They better watch it... I’ve copyrighted the phrase, “I’ve got a bracelet too”

Where’s a good lawyer when you need one?

You’re absolutely correct!! 0sama 0bama didn’t even know the soldier’s name! I doubt that he has looked at it since he was given it.

No major gaffes by bambi, but McCain gives the impression of a seasoned and accomplished giant and Obama gives the impression of an empty defensive talking point.

Obama on defense the whole time.
Not a good night for Obama.

McCain looked like a seasoned statesman.

Just heard Obama say something to the effect that HE informed the current administration about Russian peacekeepers in South Ossetia. HA-HA. I’m sure Bush hadn’t heard about this from ANY of his intelligence services until Barry called.
