Obama & Mcain on TV Tonight!!

[jdm05]

[B]I thought it was great. To me it was not a debate. No one was bashing the other. I actually liked some of Obama's answers but he could not just simply answer a question. He beat around the bush whereas Mc Cain was straight forward, no long winded explanations. Even Rick Warren made a comment about how he was going to run out of questions to ask Mc Cain. I am NOT voting for Obama. The change he talks about sounds wonderful, but at what cost is that change, going to cost us Americans? Higher taxes no doubt.

but taxes will have to increase anyway.

Obama is being very truthful with the American people. He talked about us having to make a transition to other sources of energy and he said point blank it isn't going to be free. Republicans just want to drill, drill, drill, like that is going to be more than putting a bandaid on a gaping wound.

Agree!
Some major stuff needs to be done, this planted just can't take much more abuse. We all need to do our part, this is the only world we have to leave to the next generation!

Also, I find it comical that Obama said that Clarence Thomas did not have the experience to be appointed as a Supreme Court Justice.

He had more experience in that field at the time of his appointment then what Obama has in his field now and he is wanting to be President. What a joke this guy is.

The above is inaccurate.

What follows is accurate:

Obama named Clarence Thomas, who he said was not a "strong enough jurist or legal thinker," and Antonin Scalia, though he said he didn't doubt "his intellectual brilliance."

Did you have your ears plugged. McCain, along with most republicans want to do everything, including drilling. the fact is. it will be decades before we can totally go to a renewable source of energy. Meanwhile, we must use what we have.

John the war monger McCain is now attempting to compel Republican Voters into believing that granting offshore oil and mineral rights to private multinational corporations will have an effect on the outrageous price that is currently being forced on the American People at the gas pump.

In reality, the Oil Companies have paid the Republican Party off, used low production of Oil, corrupt speculation on trading, and WAR MONGERING to allow the US Congress into giving away offshore oil leases. The Oil Companies are sitting on over 68 MILLION Acres already approved for Oil Production and the OIL COMPANIES aren’t using these leases.

The Republicans in the US House of Representatives have consistently filibustered (blocked) proposed legislation that would force the Oil Companies to begin domestic Oil Production on already approved land, or risk losing the Oil and Mineral Lease Rights. They’ve also dismissed a bill calling for domestic produced oil to stay in America and not to be sold on the World Market.

The Republicans want to give away American Owned Oil and Mineral Rights to Private Multinational Oil Corporations so that they will be able to sit on those leases (probably for 10 years) to then sell our oil on the World Market probably to the Peoples Republic of China.

Is this change we can believe in my friends???

HERE IS WHAT MATTERS THE MOST FOR ME


Excerpt:

Obama was also asked who on the U.S. Supreme Court he would have never nominated. His reply: Clarence Thomas.

"I don't think he was a strong enough jurist or a legal thinker at the time for that. I profoundly disagree with his interpretation [of the Constitution]," he said.

When asked the same question, McCain said he would have never nominated Justices Ginsberg, Breyer, Suter and Stevens.

"This nomination should be based on the critera on a proven record of strictly adhering to the Constitution and not legislating from the bench," McCain added.

The Arizona senator said he was "proud" of President Bush for nominating conservative justices Alito and Roberts to the court.

Warren also pressed Obama on two hot-button issues among social conservatives: abortion and same-sex marriage.

On abortion, Obama said that while he's pro-choice and supports Roe v. Wade, his goal is to reduce the number of abortions in America.

Thanks for posting this. You've gotten to the heart of what would have been the most important thing for me to see had I been able to watch it. I don't have Fox News and am stuck in the middle of nowhere on dial-up, so... even if it is online, I won't be seeing it.

Now, the question I have is what the talk was about a running mate for McCain.

Wait! Obama referred to abortion as murder and also said that he was prochoice??? Or are you calling it murder?
