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.

obama is out of touch: He said we’re paying $3.80 for gas. Prices are down to $3.20.

Not in northern Illnois.

Great minds think alike. Probably posted the same thought at the same time.

Brokaw cuts McCain off and says we have to play by the rules and limit responses to one minute. But then he lets Obama ramble on for well over a minute, THEN says we need to keep the response times down.

In case you've not seen this.

Narcissistic injury inevitably leads to narcissistic rage and to a terrifying display of unbridled aggression

McCain needs to get BO pissed (politely of course).

Agreed. McCains sucks. He is a rambling old man who goes back to talking points and stump phrases. He almost sounds like he is whining. Obama is coming across as more intelligent and direct.

If he wanted it bad enough to run (mccain), then he better well act like it and kick a**.

I expect the navy attack pilot to show up.

Okay, so McCain says there’s no reason why all 3 issues can’t be tackled at the same time.

Didn’t Obama who just said that he needs to prioritize say 12 days ago in jumping on McCain for suspending his campaign to go back to DC to work on the bailout bill, say that a President should be able to multitask?

BUSTED!!!

Does Obama not know that the line item veto is unconstitutional?

Funny how Tom rips on McCain for going over 5 seconds and lets Dumbomama go 30 seconds or more past the amount...
