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 and his alternative fuels pitch. Let’s see him run the airlines on bio-diesel.

“How in the he** can anyone who is paying attention to this election be undecided at this point?”

Absolutely. Being undecided at this point is absurd. They must be people like some I know who refuse to watch or read the news.

Obama has no answer to this question.. this man could be the president and he’s talking like he’s at the UN.

Something just occurred to me. Does Obama say over and over again that he “put out a statement....” and then refer to that statement as some kind of evidence of his having done something? He used it about five minutes ago and I realized that I’ve heard him say that a lot. What the heck is “putting out a statement”? And why would someone brag about it as if it meant anything?

Obama sounds like he’s making it up as he goes along - poorly prepared.

Definitely good answer; “not yet” would have also been acceptable. I couldn’t parse Obama’s answer.

The next question about Israel from the Navy guy was a tremendous lay-up. McCain did not hesitate to say that he would not wait for the UN if Iran attacked Israel. Obama is parsing again....uh oh...now talking about “diplomacy” and he won’t answer the question—would he or would he not go to the UN if Israel were attacked by Iran?

McCain definitely clobbered Obama on the foreign policy—Obama’s answers are non-sensical.
