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.

Yep, we had a joke early on that Obama colors his hair depending on what he wants to portray. If he wants to come across as ‘youthful Obama’ he darkens his hair, for debates and such, when he wants to look serious, he adds gray coloring to his hair. You can Google images based on what was going on and see his hair change day by day.

Hearing the whole small businesses thing again really gets on my nerves, nobody ever really calls BHO on it.

Obama looks and acts as if he has been coached and trained by an Unrepentant terrorist and Leader of The Weathermen, Cold and Steely!, as You note.

He’s also lying that few small business “make” more than $250K a year - most subchapter S corps declare far more than that as income before deductions.

My new company starts 2-weeks before the election, and I can tell you
that many other companies will hide their money if 0bama gets elected.
I will do the same.

If you look closely in the background, you can see a couple of women in the background slightly nodding their heads while Barry Hussein was talking.

"Oh it does, does it? I happen to enjoy photos of nude women with Sarah Palin's head photoshoped on. And lot of other guys do to."

That probably explains your 'premature' problem then (by hitting 213 instead of 214).

The second question from an African-American. I guess there is no quota system.

Obama has three talking points he keeps repeating; McCain is being much broader and specific on his answers.

Not to pick on you personally - but to all those who are saying McCain is sucking wind tonight - would you have the same opinion had he been up by 5 points heading into this debate?

Yes. He's now pounding on environmentalism. Ugh! He's right about Nuclear Power, though.

Way to point out 0bombers tax record when he first arrived to the senate. McCain is beginning to step it up a bit, needs to continue hitting him. HARDER.
