Senator John McCain provided the American public with a little comic relief Tuesday night during his debate with Senator Barack Obama. Just 13 days ago, John McCain suspended his campaign so he could deal with the economic crisis. The move stunned the nation. Since when has a candidate suspended their campaign so he or she could sit around the table with George Bush and other lawmakers grinning like an idiot for the cameras? That was 13 days ago. Last night, John McCain told the nation he could tackle energy, health care and entitlement reform at the same time. Moderator Tom Brokaw asked both candidates, "In what order what you put [energy, health care and entitlement reform] in terms of priorities?" 
Energy, health care and entitlement reform happen to be three of the most important and complex issues confronting the next president. The man who couldn't even juggle his campaign and participation in a debate on a bill in its final stages before a US House vote, responded, "I think you can work on all three at once, Tom."
Hahahahahahahahaha. My sides are hurting. Maverick? Comedian. It's like driving while talking on the cell phone, eating a Big Mac and drinking a bottle of whiskey at the same time.
Senator Barack Obama actually answered the question. "We're going to have to prioritize," Obama said, "just like a family has to prioritize. Now, I've listed the things that I think have to be at the top of the list. Energy we have to deal with today, because you're paying $3.80 here in Nashville for gasoline, and it could go up."
McCain testily responded: "Look," he fumed, "we can attack health care and energy at the same time. We're not -- we're not -- we're not rifle shots here. We are Americans. We can, with the participation of all Americans, work together and solve these problems together."
Really? WE can? This was a question for YOU. Are you going to attack health care and energy at the same time like you attacked the economy and your campaign at the same time, Mr. McCain?

ALABAMA EDITORIAL ABOUT DEBATE SAYS IT ALL FOR ME:
The paper in Birmingham Alabama, almost as Deep as you can go into the Deep South, had this to say, and to me this says it all: "It's not a pretty sight, as a man who not so long ago commanded genuine bipartisan respect - in 2004, Democratic Presidential nominee John Kerry tried to recruit McCain as his running mate on a "unity" ticket against Bush-Cheney - descends inexorably into a Rovian cesspool of fear-mongering, race-baiting and character assassination." by Stephen Fox (96 articles, 3 quicklinks, 11 diaries, 802 comments [33 recommended, 1 rejected]) on Wednesday, Oct 8, 2008 at 9:31:21 AM  (0+)

thinking on his feet
This debate clearly showed that McCain has lost the ability to think on his feet. He couldn't formulate an answer quick enough on live TV and everyone saw it. by Kyle Murphy (1 articles, 0 quicklinks, 4 diaries, 25 comments) on Wednesday, Oct 8, 2008 at 10:15:59 AM (0+)

Obama.. do one thing at a time.. stop free radio
To elect Obama will be the beginning of America's failures... The down fall of America was when Nancy Pelosi took office. We will soon have the same type of Government as Russia if Obama is elected. He never said what the fine would be if you didn't buy into his health insurance plan. How can we sit here and be so blinded. He is very racial and it will show once he get's in office . Our freedoms will go with it, freedom of religion and freedom of the press... The Democrats blame Bush on everything, except the problems really began when Nancy Pelosi took office. Now we can have a full Democratic Congress and President.. We've kicked God out of America... Didn't Obama say that... we are cowards who stick to their guns and religion... my God have mercy on the unbeliever..

Reply: God bless you, Don
Although the facts in your response are completely off base and inaccurate, it's clear that you are troubled by the situation in this country. Don, believe me when I say, you have friends here. We that support Obama do so because we support you. You have a right to be worried about losing your freedoms and this country looking like the worst aspects of Russia. President Bush has approved wiretapping, torture, and unprecedented levels of government surveilence on its people. Google it. McCain SOUNDS like a friend, and he villifies Obama, but ask yourself, "Why does McCain have to attack Obama for his friends to get elected? Why can't McCain get elected by talking about what he wants to do once he becomes president? It's because he wants to work against you and your interests. Bless you for caring about America. Don't buy the Corporate Republican Company talking points. Those slime-balls are a disgrace.

Funeral services will be held at 9 a.m.
McCain has the emotional affect of a funeral parlor director. If he is elected he will preside over a funeral for America and make every American feel like a prisoner of war. He even called Americans prisoners the other day. Forewarned is forearmed. by Outta Names999 (0 articles, 0 quicklinks, 0 diaries, 3 comments) on Thursday, Oct 9, 2008 at 6:49:33 PM (0+)
