Obama Wasn't Prepared for his Opportunity?

Equal rights a.k.a. equal opportunity is this country's stated goal.  You've got to admit, “we've come a long way baby”.  The laws are mostly there and need to be “simply” enforced -- let's hope better than border security and regulatory oversight (e.g., current credit crisis) have been.

You can nudge history along but hurrying it causes problems too.  The butterfly flapping its wings in Japan notion does apply.

 If Obama is going to be the president of the United Sates how, and why he makes decisions is a big deal. 

You're dad gum right I'm not electing Rev. Wright to be President of the United States.

Can we talk "bitter?"

Ockman's razor Theory says that when in doubt, the simplest explanation tends to apply.

People believe what they believe because … well … cause that's what they believe.  Who are we to tell them they're wrong.  Folks in this country believe, with their very soul, that you get to do what you want to do so long as it isn't hurting anybody else.

Making decisions colored by the idea that others are just stupid and need to be protected from themselves can lead to bad decisions.

As odd as it may seem Republicans under George Bush decided that big brother wasn't that bad of an idea if they were going to get to be him. 

You're dad gum right I'm not voting in a socialist big brother.  My mama didn't raise no fool.

Patriotism boils down to whether or not, when it comes down to it, you put America first. Why?  Because as the benefactor of its many gifts we are obligated to sacrifice for its defense.  Thank God that some men and women are willing to actually put their lives up as collateral. 

Obama should have slam dunked this one.  Surely there was a index card with an answer for this one. 

So … while few doubt Obama's patriotism, a better answer would have done wonders.

Now we are left to wonder whether Obama's inability to address the ABC debate questions once and for all is an issue in and of itself.

The problem with experience is that its value can only be seen by those who have it. 

I asked my mom for something once and she told me I wasn't mature enough yet.  I asked her when I'd be mature enough.  She told me that I'd know it when I was.  She was right.  I did.

Economy? Foreign Policy? Jobs? Mortgage Crisis? Iran? DPRK?

If you saw the debate and/or read the transcripts, its clear he was ready to answer the scurrilous accusations you mentioned. His responses to them were clear, reasoned, well thought out and well delivered.

The issue is that the entire debate was centered on that stupidity, not the things I mentioned in my subject line. If we were interviewing someone for participation in the next reality show, the items you brought up and those that were the center of the debate might have been appropriate.

For President? Not so much.

You Missed the Point

You missed the point.  How Obama answered the Wright, "bitter" and patriotism questions shows us how Obama will address "Economy? Foreign Policy? Jobs? Mortgage Crisis? Iran? DPRK?"
