Saddleback interviews:

[Django]

Did anyone see the McCain/Obama Saddleback deal last night...?

I just wondered if anyone had any impressions that may have either been changed or reinforced by the responses of either candidate.....

Did anyone change their minds or receive any new insights.....?

Did anyone (like me) think that Obama appeared so polished and self assured that they wanted to place a full length mirror in front of B-HO so that he could have achieve orgasm....?

I'm not a violent man...... But there's something so smug and narcissistic about that guy......... I just wanna slap his face off.....

Sorry......

I thought that McCain was doing a bit of acting, too..... But at least he was representing a more noble set of values, credentials and purposes than his opponent..... He is imminently more qualified to handle the reins of the Presidency than B-Ho......

It's a case of a seasoned statesman and war hero vs: a smug ivy league egomaniac who's only qualification seems to be "vote the bastards out"...

Be careful what you wish for..... You just might get it.....

But, what did you think of the interviews...?

[OCBob]

Haven't seen it yet, but I have it recorded. I need to wait until the kids are out for long enough to pay attention to it hehehe.

 

[black pearl]

I think BO did not answer any of the questions. He would just jabber on for 10 minutes.

 

[TNVIPER]

I didnt see it but did read about it this morning...sounds like both are trying attract the middle road voters (indepenents) by saying what they think the middle wants to hear.....they are the ones that will decide this election.......

 

[ChrisAZ]

I've seen enough of Puke Orama aka Barack Obama. If I see or hear anymore I think I will be sick. What a joke that this guy even has a shot. Please don't let him win...please, please, please. That will be the nail in the coffin of this once great nation. I'm getting my passport ready. If he wins, I might be finding a new country to believe in because this one will obviously be f'd beyond repair. How can people be so ignorant to support this fool? McCains biggest obstacle in garnering votes is the fact that he shares the same party with Bush. I think many people will vote for this B.S. "change" and the rest will vote for the furthest thing from GW Bush. I hope that leaves enough votes to put McCain in the Whitehouse.

Obama is a vaccuously empty suit........... He can't be trusted.

One more thing:

MaCain is no more the equivilant of Bush than Obama is the same as Clinton..... So, stop with the stupid comparisons already. Every man is an individual and acts individually.

I'd personally welcome the Clintons back for 8 more years more readily than I'd have B-Ho in the catbird seat.

While I'm at it... What about those ears...? He looks like a brown taxicab with all it's doors open......

I thought McCain was more human than I have seen him before. He answered the audience directly and looked polished. I heard B HO was writing a book to combat McCains stories about his captivity. Its called "the worst 3 years of my life" he was talking about 3rd grade.

Unfortunately he was probably considered as "gifted" and promoted to the 6th grade while still in Pampers........ :argh:

Tim, the comparison was valid as I was stating that they both share the same Republican party. I did not compare them in any other sense. To call that stupid is, well, stupid. Then again, you probably said it to get a rise out of me. Not gonna happen. Wouldn't be prudent at this juncture. Hehe. Maybe Annu will come out and fight with ya.

 

[supercar1of1]

I watched it three times start to finish, and drew the same conclusion as you men.:hmmmm2: :hmmmm2: :hmmmm2: :hmmmm2: :hmmmm2:

Chris, Bro I was speaking on purely general terms about the stupid comparisions... I wasn't even thinking remotely about you.. even though I quoted you... Sounds rather incredible, I agree... But honest, I wasn't addressing you AT ALL.....

Lemme go back and reread your quote and try to recap my reason for quoting you....

OK, I'm back.... and more than a little confused.... You didn't make any comparisons to be called stupid... So I can't (other than the fact that I quoted you to simply continue the dialogue) understand why you thought I was calling you out....

But anyway... I wasn't... 'Scuse the misunderstanding....

And as for Annu..... Well, he is quite the "mystery man" isn't he.....

Peace, Annu......

Another situation in which we don't have a good opportunity to really move the Nation forward. Since we are offering opinions...McCain is just so lacking in brains (and I do compare him with Bush in that category). I also, as one of the resident experts in this category, really believe that he is just beyond his best years by about 20 years. His ability to lead will be greatly limited due to his advanced age...if he is elected there will be surrogate decision makers with immense power...even more so than our current administration. The Vice President will be critical for McCain.

Obama is just too middle of the road (as he works to get elected) from such a liberal voting record. He is a great politician and campaigner...but that is no more of a qualification for being President than being a war hero.

So in my mind we have dumb old fart versus non-committal unknown...

While I am certainly not going to leave this country over an election as several have said...I have to think that the results of the election are just not going to be very important. The cabinet and personal advisers that surround the President will be critical...we need a lot of help to get out of our internal and external malaise.

I guess the bottom line to me is that McCain will probably have a larger reservoir to draw upon for his policy makers...but they will need to be something other than what the Bush administration has used. If McCain truly wants to differentiate himself from Bush, we will know by the cabinet he constructs.

If Obama is elected, his cabinet will also be critical...but I see very few pragmatists for him to draw from.

The Germans were in some deep shit after WWI.... They decided to elect a guy who promised to unite Deutschland... He gave all the able bodied me a job building his dream.... The Autobahn...... which would unite all of Europe... They built it. But instead of using it to unite the continent, He used it to attempt to subjugate and conquer most of Europe....

He became such a malignant narcissist that many of his generals conspired and actually attempted to kill him..... They failed...

Before it was all over, he attempted to exterminate an entire ethnic branch of humanity..... Eventually he committed suicide as the Allies (yes, including fkn Russia) were bearing down on his fortified bunker......

Two salient points can be made from this experience....

1) The Russians were used as a neccesary tool at the necessary time... Choose your friends wisely.

2) Exercise your power to vote even more wisely..... Ya' never know what yer actually gonna get.

By the way: Now that it has become glaringly apparent that Obama made a fool of himself on national TV, please observe the frequency of his presence on TV and in the media to hurl accusations that it was all a set-up to make him look bad....

Obama is alot of things..... You can now add "whiner" to the list....

What a fkn pussy..........

Haven't finished it yet, but I there was one thing that really stood out so far to me. McCain was talking about his decision not to support Reagan to send troops to Beirut as a freshman congressman. I was never aware of that, it showed guts to go up against his own party on something like that, but he used his own experience to come to a reasonable conclusion.

But then right after that he went and sort of screwed it up. He then said that everybody knows well over a hundred Marines died there. In actuality it was 241 Marines, Sailors, and Soldiers, the brunt of which were Marines. Yes, it was well over 100, but he could have said 50 or 150 or any other number and been "correct".

It just seems to me that this might be something he would know a little bit more about. I'll chalk it up to just not being prepped for the questions, and trying to remember a million different things, but to be honest it did bug me a little.

And speaking of questions, they were some good ones. They should do 5 more of these instead of the bullshit debates.

I was under the impression that no one was supposed to be prepped on the questions and that was why Obama stumbled so badly... That's exactly what B-Ho is bellyaching about... He claims that McCain got the questions ahead of time and that he (Obama) didn't... It's just a lame excuse for Obama being weak on questions when he doesn't get the answers ahead of time....

Like I said, he's an empty suit.........

D, I have to disagree with you (respectfully of course) for them not to provide the questions in advance to Sen. Obama.

It should be obvious when you look at the qualifications and experience of Sen. Obama compared to Sen. Mcain, that not providing the questions in advance gives an unfair advantage to the latter.

Yes,

....and that's exactly what Obama is claiming....

He's saying that McCain got the questions but He didn't....

Unless I missed the whole premise of Hannity's interview with Rick Warren....

Maybe I'm just having an acid flashback......

WOW... Free dope......!!! WoooooooHooooooooo...!!

Nice article:


“I must confess that I am spending an awful lot of time thinking about Barack Obama. I hasten to add that it’s not, as is the case with Chris Matthews, because the Senator sends shivers up my leg.

Rather, it’s because I simply can’t figure out how he’s managed to convince so many people that he should be the President of the United States... To be perfectly honest, I invariably feel that way about all the candidates the Democrats try to foist off on us.

But, as a rule, guys like Dukakis, Gore and Kerry are just typical party hacks. But at least none of them attended a racist church, they didn’t associate with known terrorists and they usually didn’t display their contempt for national symbols and the U.S. military quite so blatantly.

Liberals have tried to convince me that Obama is brilliant. I find that odd because he has said that there are 57 states, that JFK got the Russians to remove their missiles from Cuba by sitting down and chatting with Khrushchev, and that Iran doesn’t really constitute an actual threat because they don’t spend as much money on weaponry as we do.

Funny, but ‘brilliant’ isn’t the first word that comes to mind. But what do liberals know? They were also convinced that Jimmy Carter was intelligent.â€
