You bet

I heard it once.  The sad thing is that Obama was telling the truth...

Also, McCain thought that Spain was in Latin America.   Right next to Czeckoslavakia, I'll bet.

I don't think so

The guy is ancient and has false teeth that tend to whistle. He was simply saying, "of course" to the fact that Spain is a member of NATO.

The first time he said "of course" - but it came out "uh-korshha"

The second time, it sounded like "korsh"

Obama might do well to use some emphasis

To tell you the truth, I wish Obama would get mad enough to stop pulling his punches with McCain. I'm not talking about smears or lies like McCain continues to be guilty of. There are so many legitimate accusations that Obama could use.

I'd like for Obama to let himself lose his temper slightly in one of these debates. He should get animated and use the word "dammit" just one time. He shouldn't use it directly towards McCain, because he would come across as cussin' McCain out. He should use it in answer to the moderator's question. Something like:

"Senator McCain and I are very fortunate to have excellent healthcare that is paid for by you, the taxpayer. Now if it's okay with him that you pay for our healthcare with tax dollars, why is it not okay to pay for yours? That's just not right, dammit!"

It is possible to be mad and still conduct yourself like a gentleman. And a mad gentleman will use strong language sparingly, but effectively in getting his point across.

Right on!!!

I agree with you fully!

It may not go over well, being used in the pulpit, but this is the real world we are dealing with, and dammit isn't even strong enough in this case.  Having said that, I guess I'd better not say it in the pulpit either, heh heh.

There are times when one must hang up their cloak of religion and let 'er rip!!! Then gently put the cloak back on.  There are just some people who don't listen, even if it isn't horses**t!

francineRetired university professor.

Way too deferential

I understand that he does not want to come across as an angry black, but sometimes, he comes across as a sambo, and it's not much better.

Obama tops McCain in several areas, but he does not seem to have enough agon in him, he never fights for his life, he never goes for the jugular. His problem is he is not mean, whereas Republican candidates are plenty mean. Do Americans want a couple of pitbulls in the WH, with and without lipstick, or are they tired of Republican mean?

Oh sure,...

but was he saying it because he was angry and embarrassed, or was it simply an advertisement for the rest of his remarks through the debate?

Horseshit

I fully agree the man said horsehit under his breath not once but twice. I also didn't catch it as I was yelling at Obama to stop agreeing with McCain as well. Obama needed to be much more confrontative with McCain, he really needed to pound McCain for his lack of voting for Vet's benefits in his voting record!

Of Course, is even better

If McCain actually said "Of Course" as the transcript says, then that is even funnier and scarier.  Because in essense, if he is saying "Of course" when Obama says that McCain is so rigid that he wouldn't even talk to Spain, that means he is agreeing with something that is preposterous.
