PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE #2 LIVE THREAD
10/07/08

Posted on 10/07/2008 2:01:24 PM PDT by TornadoAlley3

While the two presidential candidates, Senators John McCain and Barack Obama, prepare for their second debate on Oct. 7 at Belmont University in Nashville, Tom Brokaw gets to sift through questions submitted by you. In addition to queries from a group randomly selected by the Gallup organization, Brokaw will be fielding questions submitted online at mydebates.org, the site created by the Commission on Presidential Debates and Myspace. The focus of the town hall-style debate will be domestic and foreign policy, Brokaw's specialties.

KEYWORDS: 2008debates; bailout; debate; failout; financialcrisis; jumpingthegun; mccain; notbreakingnews; obama; obamatruthfile; prematurethreadage

I’m still stuck back at the government buys up all the bad mortgages and refinances them...

I don’t believe I heard McCain say that- but I did.

He just tied Obama to Fannie and Freddie, said Obama was the 2nd highest recipient of money from F & F.

Unfortunately, McCain didn't mention it. Obama just said he never lobbied for FNM (which may be the case), but he also didn't turn down the 6-figure donations. I don't think McCain will hit this point.

Obama is a total liar-—I detest this creep.
What happened to the one minute response time limit? I guess it just applies to McCain and NoBama gets to ramble on-—

Mac needs to stop writing stuff down and listen. That way he can respond to 0bama’s lies.

If he wants talking points from this debate, he can watch the tape later.

How is a lobbyist who worked for a company that lobbied for Fannie worse than the former CEO of Fannie? I think the former CEO is more closely connected with the company’s failure.

Brokaw is reminding me why I’m glad he finally got off TV.

“Senator McCain, do you think the economy will get worse before it gets better?” What the hell kind of loaded question is that?

The LIAR wasn’t around enough to ask Paulson and Wall Street for regulation. He has barely been in the Senate & how does he speak without a prompter?
