Default Re: The Debate

Because McCain had Obama agreeing on two many points. So if the choice was/is inexperience (C'mon on now who really becomes CEO of any major corporation straight out of college? Better yet, who among us really wants a boss who has never performed the job functions?) and education and experience, hands down the guy who has been the been there, done that over the course of time wins. McCain was able to admit mistakes and be flexible at looking at solutions; Obama just avoids admitting much of anything. Clearly it was a victory for the well-seasoned old guy who Obama's people tried to suggest was backing down from a challenge because he clearly chose to go to Washington and do the job he had been elected to do FIRST before campaigning. He showed that he could do both effectively - legislate and debate - for the American people.

I believe neither won. Both got some points in but nothing major.

Michelle Malkin Debate video: Obama can’t remember the soldier’s name on his bracelet
I've seen him do that before, and its more of a nervous twitch, than anything like something he's trying to hide.

His stutter on it was more of him going from naming the soldier to naming the mother. That was one of his more noticible stutters.

But, that's my take on it.

Obama's reaction was a childish response. He is cheesy, discourteous, pompous, and a phony.

Obama didn't bother or spend the time remembering the soldier's name to memory. He had to look down at the bracelet to read the name.

Those are his good qualities.

Only time Obama stutters is when he isn't front of a teleprompter and a scripted speech.

Obama wasn't trying to hide anything, he didn't remember the soldier's name which was Sgt. Ryan David Jopek.

Obama couldn't think of of the soldier's name because he is a phony opportunist.
