McCain Owned Obama

[hilal2020]

Obama, was't offensive, but he was more like presidential
Tonight. I like when he said "mcain even doesn't wanna meet with Spain prime minister" I thought that was funny.

I liked what McCain said about Somalia, that he wanted to see the US complete its mission in our country. You could see that he was getting a bit emotional, and I have to admit, at that moment he felt a bit closer to me than Obama.

Starscream.


Nope, he said that he SUPPORTED the withdrawl of US troops from Somalia in 1993 after the mission changed to PEACE BUILDING

McCain was my hero in 1993 Along with ceeb Luger of Indiana.

[Starscream]

Yeah he scored points with that one, MCain didn't know who Zapatero was, that's why he didn't want to meet him.

Ismahan so the guy is willing to kill innocents in Pakistan, once a friend, but talk to those that actually verbally assault the US's so called 'nationally security'? but at the same time do some damage control and fix America's imagin to the world..

This is just sad..They are both grounding themselves in promising more war..

First of all he didn't say he will just go and bomb Pakistan. As you know, the Bush administration is already bombing pakistan, they just recently did. Obama is simply saying that he will not hesitate using military attack on them if they are found to be abusing the aide they are provided with to fight terrorist at their border. As for the others, they cristicsed the actions of the current administration and he is willing to work with them using diplomacy which is something foreign them Bush. I think he is willing to take steps that McCain wouldn't even let cross his mind.

Aw,

How exactly did he move you? what did he say? I'm baffled here.

The old man was emotional full stop. He made me laugh the way he kept going back to the whole 'sitting across the table..'..lol

Salah, I see no difference there than, no change just a different suit. what I don't understand about him is that he is contradictory! He needs to stop playing the change card. He is planning to create another enemy and just place the army from Bag to Afgan, while Mcain wants to keep on the same road...

Afcourse they're the same. American Foreign policy doesn't change drastically based on the president. The objecives are always the same. It is always about America's interests. Those interests means influencing the world in a way that Amercia dominates geopolitically and economically. If they have to bomb Pakistan so be it. The only difference between McCain and Obama as you stated is one is saying we're too focused in Iraq, we need to divert our recources to dominate elsewhere. We're letting China do what we normally do while we're stuck in Iraq, lets get out to exploit elsewhere.

Ismahan,

I loved his SOmalia comment along with his sincerity to fight earmarks. I was a former moderate Republican before W. & supported McCain 2000 then worked hard against Al "The Butcher of Xamar" Gore in 2000.

With the current political and economic situation Obama should've destroyed McCain but he didn't

Biden was doing a way better job after the debate then Obama was. Biden should've been debating

That's what Obama picked biden for. He's got the authority to hold John McCain on foreign policy. Obama job was to survive unscathed and he did.

[American Salafi]

I think Obama stutters. He kept saying "UH..Uh". Miskin. This is the guy all somalis like. Wow. The old guy made him look like a kid.

[+chilli]

Ismhan are you telling me you'd rather support the wolf in sheep clothing over the wolf?..
Salah just said that Obama wants a wider context to exploit..He just wants to shift the focus of the American war, Afag. region has already suffered, now he wants to take full control of the surroundings...Al Qa'id? the old myth is back on the table again.

Salah, I just picked up little hope when I heard he was against the Iraq situation, I didn't know, he was just shifting seats.

I dont care what anyone else says about the debate tonight..including the paid pundits on these networks..(some think that he won..like Olberman)

But Obama barely held his own.. He didnt win..if anything McCain landed more jabs than Obama even dared
except when he turned to him and told him he was wrong about Iraq and WMDs etc.

WTF was he thinking..saying McCain is absolutely right..like 100 times?? was he endorsing him or something???

Obama needs to learn how to speak in plain english..he needs to get the votes of the white working class who are already resistant to the idea of a black president..
and if he keeps talking with his articulate and elite glasses on..he will win ppl like me and you..but he already has those votes
What he needs is the white illeterate voters.

Exactly.

It would have been nice to hear from those in this topic who claim that Obama won hands down to support their argument. I look forward to what Fah and Kolombo have to say about it.

[SummerRain]

Its not about JABS but getting points based on issues and Obama just did that. If you check out the latest polls, all the issues are in favor of OBama.



Chilli,

This is politics hun politics and its American politics...

For me BHO offers better social baggage then McCain and for someone who lives in this country, thats my number one priority.

[Nabeela]

Anyone else noticed that McCain wouldn't look at Obama during the whole debate, he hardly acknowledged him, even when the debate was over. WTF...
