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.

No doubt America has been hijacked. Like Obama, McCain offers a big shit sandwich. I wonder if Obama will make Bernadine a drug czar? “LSD and grass, like the herbs and cactus and mushrooms of the American Indians and countless civilizations that have existed on this planet, will help us make a future world where it will be possible to live in peace.”

This reminds me of the old David Frye line in his Nixon album: "I accept the responsibility... but not the blame!"

"Middle class" families ARE paying for their mortgages - 95% are being paid on time.

The real problem is the bankers and divivitive folks. Obama's blaming this on home owners - tacky.

IDIOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! let’s just all scream at this poop head all at once. He is a fraud and he will say anything to get elected. He can NOT BE TRUSTED with our future!

[Terriergal]

We do not trust this polished smooth talker.

Uhh. Uhh.. aahh uuuhh...I I ... I... don't see any smooth talking going on!

[TankerKC]

Question for all...why do they get questions from “uncommitted voters”? If they don't know who they are voting for a this point, then I don't care about anything they might ask.

[BGHater]

This is not the Presidential debate for America.

This is the Presidential debate for France.

The each candidate is trying to outspend the next guy. Buying Houses..etc.. Awesome.

[waxer1]

I think he was third with 103,000.

[mylife]

Well, He is the CANDYMAN

[A CA Guy]

What kind of town hall is it where they call on a person by name and already know the question to be given?

This is an extremely CONTROLLED town hall.

[Osage Orange]

Now why would that surprise me?

[Uncle Miltie]

"buy up bad loans? what the hell is that? is McCain calling for a new bailout?"

That's another sop that props up institutions and managers who made bad decisions.

Until we BANKRUPT the guys who made bad business decisions, this will not end.

Until we FORECLOSE the people who bought houses they couldn't afford, this will not end.

The Government getting in the way of the Free Market was the problem in the first place.

The Government getting in the way of the Free Market is what keeps this thing from resolving itself.

Naturally.

The O is $#%@$ Clueless tonite!

Oooh, bad move. He starts a personal question out with, ‘Look... and is pointing. That is just not smart.

Yup, I just mentioned that to my husband. We're in sales. You don't do that, period.

[NormsRevenge]

McCain: A new loan at the new value of their home?

What the ????
