Re: 2nd Presidential Debate

I think McCain represents war to many people. I think what some see as a huge asset (his military experience) others view from a different angle as a liability.

Re: 2nd Presidential Debate

McCain has proven to be an idiot. McCain's not offered anything significantly different from the Bush regime. Obama is highly knowledgeable of the issues, however his policies still may not work. I think the Republicans and Democrats have broken our country and neither of these two can fix it.

Re: 2nd Presidential Debate

Loved when Brokaw asked about the Treasury Secretary and McCain mentioned Buffet and Whitman. Obama agreed with Buffet, but didn't give us an answer of WHO he was going to appoint - big deal there!

Obama didn't deny mandated health care - at all. Funny when McCain asked, "I'm waiting to hear how much the fine will be." Good move. McCain stressed it makes him nervous about government mandating health insurance.

When the woman asked about trusting either one. Obama's answer included spending more money.

McCain kept reminding everyone to look at their records and not rhetoric.

When did Obama ever write a piece of legislation on Freddie and Fannie? He said he did a year ago. An Al Gore moment? He was making fun of McCain "sponsoring" a bill to address Freddie and Fannie like it was only important if he wrote it. Only four people supported S190. Didn't see Obama on that.

He tried to get McCain on not signing an energy bill that Bush proposed. McCain explained it had too many goodies in it. That is one thing that he is so misunderstood about. For example, he voted against the Bush tax cuts because it wasn't balanced out with less spending. They hit him on voting against the tax cuts solely. That wasn't his issue.

All I can think of off the top of my head. The main thing I came away with is that McCain exuded excitement and a renewed we will survive. Obama seemed to exude some fear. Perhaps, I felt that way because I view McCain as being more in command in any crises and wonder WHO Obama would talk to at 3:00 a.m. on the Red Phone.

Does that qualify as name calling?

Whether it does or doesn't... what has McCain done that has proven him an idiot?
If there is one thing McCain has going for him, it is that he is no idiot.
