CBS Evening News: Obama And McCain Answer Katie Couric's Presidential Qutestions

[andylance1]

We have the unholy alliance of America''s enemies: Iran, Venezuela, Bolivia, Cuba - Muslims and leftist Catholics and agnostics and orthodox Russians attacking their neighbors. It is a dangerous world and Iran and Hamas continue to pledge the destruction of Israel.

Obama is quick to renounce both his Muslim faith and his allegiance to Rev. Wright. Meanwhile, Father Michael Pfleger endorses Obama and gets censured by the Catholic Church along with Pelosi and Biden.

In South Florida, we have two Jewish congress people endorsing Obama, while the Israeli government is scared to death of Obama. Party loyalty trumps survival. How do you get people to support their own destruction?

"I don''''t guess Katie had guts enough to ask either of them who was responsible for the first 9/11 and call them both liars when they said Osama Bin Laden."

Yep, when the correct answer, Bill Clinton, came out, it would have been tough medicine alright.

[anotherview2-2009]

Somebody needs to put a new record in Obama''s mouth. His stump speeches are getting stale.

Big surprise that CBS and NYT team up to give a poll that gives their hero a lead. Also have noticed that CBS has lightened up on the "Troopergate" now that Hollis French and his Obama cronies have come under fire by Republican filing suit and the Alaska Attorney General stepping in.

On economics, anyone talking about all the perks received from FEMA and Fannie Mae?

And the MSM has buried the story on Rothschild endorsing McCain/Palin.

We are safer because Barrack Obama has not been President using tough diplomacy to keep our enemies at bay. With Russia entering the Caribbean basin with Venezuela as a partner who has bought billions of Russian arms, we have a whole new threat building here.

We don''t need a leader who is riding with training wheels in the White House. Obama should have stuck to his 2012 plan and stayed in the Senate or tried for a Governorship. Then he could equal Palin in experience.

sheila2u: And McCain''s was any better? The guy jumped all around the map, stumbling over his own tongue while trying to respond.

I think placing Obama in the presidency will guarintee we are attacked again. He is basically like Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton gets a lot of undeserved credit for being in the right place at the right time of an iformation age bubble but in foregn policy and expecially anti terrorism he was a total failure. Basically 9/11 happend because Bill Clinton never really responded to the many terrorist attacks that happened while he was in office. So Obama while at some level might make us feel good will most certanily make us regret the choice after his failed policies and nieve point of view invited more attacks.

You are very right - he cut military funding, personnel and dismantled the pentagon - he ignored every threat, and soon, after he was out of office, we were attacked.

It becomes more apparent, every day, that McCain is senile. Sad.

[musethalia]

BO''s ''I ''think'', ''I mean'', ''I think''...very disturbing...she''s asking where they stand to prevent another attack, not opinion of the 9/11 invasion - you better do more than ''think'' and ''mean'' when faced with that type of very real, very dangerous question.

[musethalia]

And BO''s answer is? No answer, just a report of what we already know? Taking my shoes off at the airport like I''m going to have to do flying into DC tomorrow. I already KNOW that - His response in stating the obvious things I already know does not make me feel safe - it makes me nervous.

I hope Katie is not going to turn into a "female" Charlie Gibson. It was quite noticable during tonight''s interview that when she questioned Sen. McCain, she had such a serious and determined look on her face. However, when she spoke with Sen. Obama, she giggled while telling him "oh come on, you can do better than that!"

[sheila2u-2009]

This response from Obama is totally LAME...EMPTY...NOTHING...Omg what will he do if it happens !!!! FRIGHTENING I SAY !!

[ljb6599]

standlee5....Barrak Obama was not arrogant at all.Lets face it you simply do not like Obama not matter what he would say.Why should Obama give any credit to Bush.He has done nothing but divide this country even further than it was 8 years ago.The country is a mess and it occurred on his watch.McCain will continue the same devisive politics because his campaign is being by cronies from the Bush administration.McCain is no longer a maverick or an independent.He is a necon just like all the rest of them!!

[standlee5]

What an arrogant answer from Barrack Obama. We''ve had the luxury of being secure thanks to an entire network of homeland protectors. He can''t even manage to acknowlede those that have done a fantastic job. He''s never managed anyone or anything, that''s why he''s so clueless and obviously risky.

[inventagod2]

We have yet to truly investigate the 9/11 attack.
The Bu$h administration stonewalled any investigation for 444 days, while quickly destroying as much evidenve as possible. Sudpoenas and individual testimony are necessary, and hard questions must be asked. This never happened. We are left with no truth, and many suspects, some in high places...
