Comments on: Obama Decries "Gotcha" Debate Focus

Ill. Senator Says ABC News Moderators Focused On Trivial Politics

[spinster2]

After the media has been treating Clinton so bad Saturday Night Live had to point it out, I can''t help but notice how many cry babies I''m hearing now.

Obama is only where he is today because of millions of republicans crossing over but the same thing that will make you laugh will make you cry. Guess we''re seing some of that tonight.

Oh come on....take the first 45 minutes out of the debate, and Sen. Obama still didn''''t come out well. He fumbled and searched around for words attempting to sound like he knew what he was talking about. Obviously, he was confused and unprepared for the capital gains question, and was really bad on the foreign policy question also. He, his campaign, and his followers are simply trying to mock Hillary again, and complain about the unfairness of the debate, to cover up his ineptitude. He needs to grow up, he acts like a high school senior with his smart alec attitude, and it is really unbecoming to a Presidential wannabe. Never, ever will I vote for him, ever. The nastier his "followers" get, the more it convinces 26% of us to not vote, or vote for someone else.

Give thanks to Pres. George W. Bush & VP D!ck Cheney, for their Experience of 7 years.

WASHINGTON %u2014 The war in Iraq has become "a Major Debacle" and the outcome "is in doubt" despite improvements in Security from the buildup in U.S. forces, according to a highly critical study published Thursday by the Pentagon''''s Premier Military Educational Institute.


The report released by the National Defense University raises fresh doubts about President Bushs Projections of a U.S. Victory in Iraq just a week after Bush announced that he was Suspending U.S. Troop Reductions.

The report carries considerable Weight because it was written by Joseph Collins , a Former Senior Pentagon Official.


"Measured in Blood and Treasure, the war in Iraq has achieved the status of a Major War and a Major Debacle," says the report''''s opening line.

At the time the report was written last fall, more than (4,000 U.S.) and Foreign Troops, more than 7,500 Iraqi security forces and as many as (82,000 Iraqi Civilians) had been killed and tens of thousands of others wounded, while the cost of the war since March 2003 was estimated at ($450 Billion) .


The report said that the United States has suffered Serious Political costs, with its standing in the world seriously diminished.

Moderators were clueless.

First, why would a moderator (who works in the press) ask a question of Obama about Weather Underground when the moderator knows that the Clintons pardoned 2 members of the Weather Underground?
Basically this question is only expected from someone trying to damage the Democrats.

Second, why would a moderator attack on seemingly everything from Obama. Hillary said she was sorry for saying the Bosnian sniper fire story a couple times. The moderator knew it was more than a couple timers.

Also, Hillary said she wished she had more sleep, as the reason for lying. Given Hillary''s repeated 3am ads, this was as easy a lob thrown to the moderators.

I have no problem with some of these questions being asked. However, it is strange that they didn''t focus on the issues until the first hour was nearly over. Also, they were clearly didn''t biased on who they were going to pressure.

Wow! Talk about dirty politics, I have now read up on the grand prize and it goes to Obama! I guess he really is all about a new kind of politics but who knew it was so dirty. The title is called "Bamboozling the American electorate again.

After reading that article, I will NEVER vote for Black Osama. Not even if Bush was running against him.
