There was a moment in the debate where McCain was speaking of Vietnam and the subject of torture briefly. You could tell this is a topic that hits him pretty hard personally. Everyone knows that, even the Democrats.

Well the camera switched a diagonal view of both candidates and you could see Obama raising his hand to interrupt McCain, again.

Totally classless. I wish a veterans group would grab this and run with it.

That Mathews now hes’ a quick study eh?
By the way Chris I have even more contempt for the guy who has his own presidential seal, own presidential coins, own presidential airplane sans American flag on all and who went to the gym in Germany rather than meet with wounded warriors.
My contempt knows no bounds.
Can we now hold the Messiah in contempt of America?

European conservatives are just as willing to sell out Europe to the ummah as the liberals.

Partial excerpt from an email I sent Mr. Berg:

“I trust the judge did not originally dismiss your lawsuit because it does indeed have merit. We, as Americans, in order to fulfill the intent and directive of our Constitution are bound by patriotic duty to determine the legal status of any citizen running for the Presidency of the United States; such determination of status having to do with a requirement that said citizen must be a natural born citizen. Mr. Obama should be required to present pertinent evidence that would allow a judge or qualified public official to determine if he is, or is not, a natural born citizen. It is a legal requirement.”

Mr. Berg sent this copy of Mr. Obama’s and the DNC’s response.

Update: http://www.nextgenerationcorp.com/NextGenBlog/?p=66

It appears that Mr. Obama is trying to stall the matter. The outstanding issue is Mr. Obama’s birth certificate (Certificate of Live Birth). It appears that so far he has obfuscated this issue as well by providing, or having his agents provide, a false certificate of birth for publication.

But to Mr. Obama’s determent, the people of the United States of America demand that he (Mr. Obama) remove himself from eligibility to run for any political office for which he is not qualified and/or for which he (Mr. Obama) will not publicly present authoritative qualification for his candidacy as required by the Constitution of the United States of America.

God bless.

He couldn’t get McCain’s first name right and he won the debate? I think I watched a debate in another universe. In my universe, I caught Obama in four outright lies. Will write about it later once I stop laughing. McCain owned him from beginning to end. No, Obama is not ready to even debate.

By the way, no media can be trusted……….

There are plenty of other post-game analyses to choose from, if you wish to dig into more of the detail.  And yes, I did watch the debate, and was barraging Ed Morrissey with comments throughout, only two of which made……

I believe Kerry was called the winner in all three of the 2004 debates.

People don’t like Obama.

McCain is likeable

Well it was great how Lutz tells how they interviewed people and then told how to get into a Focus group. Sure people do not Lie, to get in there do they? We have never sen that before like hmmm Michigan.

Obama’s closing comments right at the end about Kenyan children looking up to America in the 1960s, whereas now, “not so much” were a real turnoff for me,

If the world hates us so much now, why have Germany & France recently dumped liberal, anti-US heads of state & elected conservative, pro-US ones? I think Italy has as well, & judging from Brown’s polls the UK will soon I’ll bet.

McCain: In the Hanoi prison, they routinely tied me up, whipped me and called me all the names in the book.

Obambi: Oh..Oh.. me too, me too. Every Saturday night, Michelle ties me up, whips me good and calls me names too. Umm..Ehh, umm, and I like it. :)

You are not there to convince Obama, you are there to convince the American people. I suppose after doing television all this time Chris Matthews hasn’t learned that yet.

But but… Chrissy has to constantly look down at his legs to check out those tingling sensations, just to make sure he didn’t wet his pants. He’s way toooo busy to look at the camera. :)

I think McCain said “um” twice and Obama stuttered constantly.

When does Luntz figure this junk out? Is he really that dense?

Those were uncommitted voters like I am Ronald Reagan.

What a load of crap.

That one woman saying she didn’t care about the past and was only interested in today was red flag.

That group was Astroturfed.

Chrissy Matthews is foaming at the mouth about McCain not looking at Obama. He said he’s never seen a candidate with such contempt for his opponent.

Well, that is the kind of thing they have to pull out when there isn’t any substance to criticize McCain on. It is all about body language now for the Dems. They have been hitting Palin on body language now they will hit McCain.

BTW, in a televised debate you speak to the camera, you dolt Matthews. You are not there to convince Obama, you are there to convince the American people. I suppose after doing television all this time Chris Matthews hasn’t learned that yet.

John McCain: I have years of foreign policy experience
BHO: Me too! Me too!

John McCain: I like Jim Lehrer’s suit
BHO: Me too! Me too!

Reminds of a SOAD song

McCain: I attended the National War College!

Obama: Uhhh… I’m friends with a terrorist! and I’m friends with Farrakhan!

McCain: I took off and landed jet aircraft onto aircraft carriers!

Obama: ride funny looking bikes around Chicago with a helmet!

McCain: I was in Prison as a POW

Obama: I could have went to prison for snorting coke and doing marijuana and taking bribes from a criminal, and talking to the Iraqi’s about troop levels ummmmmm uhhh errr umm well.. and I could still go to prison if the FBI digs around to much into Freddy Mac and Fannie Mae and Lehman Brothers you know there is a guy names Auchi that had a sh*t load of money in Lehman.. err ummm why am i inditing myself.. this is off the record right? we are just talking smack right? ummm I did NOT say any of this.. I didn’t say anything about Rezko, Ayres, or Rev. Wright did I? just damn.. let me eat my waffle already!

McCain: is that the type of person America wants in a leader?

Yeah Hawk; Obama kept saying he’d send in 3 brigades. But to do what? He never did explain that. Hell, you can send the entire US Military there, but without a STRATEGY they can’t do much.

What good would a strategy do? Reid and Pelosi would simply tell us the war is lost any way.
