Obama is not his sharpest tonight. Too many ummmsss and ahhhhhhs... also tripping over his words a bit at times... Maybe he's the one that didn't get the sleep this time.

I wish Obama would bring up her vote about confiscating guns in a time of national emergency.

[anonymous171]

26. Geez, Bill is not running Hillary.

[DangerousRhythm]

31. Exactly. Shouldn't that be embarrassing to a 2nd wave feminist...

...running on your husband's record? Or ANY feminist really.

[stillrockin]

waskilly wabbit

[crispini]

28. God, I need a Xanax after the first half of the debate.

[backscatter712]

36. I'm now watching on tape delay from Denver.

Sweet Zombie Jesus, what a load of shit this debate is!

At least Obama seems to be on his game and doing some decent verbal jiu-jitsu.

[rug]

46. Go to ****OFFICIAL DEBATE THREAD 1*********

[Poll_Blind]

50. I come from the future to tell you to TAKE A STIFF DRINK NOW!

Otherwise, beleive me, you will not be prepared for the GOP bias, the shallowness of the questions, and handing the two candidates knives to cut each other with.

PB

[Connie_Corleone]

37. Again, Gibson interrupts Obama while he's answering the question.

[stillrockin]

44. he needs to STFU

[K Gardner]

47. "YOUR HANDWRITING WAS ON THE SURVEY!" no fucking way he did that..

[uponit7771]

[NJSecularist]

[anonymous171]

40. GIBSON YOU PIECE OF SHIT! He gives Clinton a question, challenges Obama.

[global1]

41. There Goes Charlie Again Debating Obama.......

[muryan]

48. This debate brought you by ABC and Bill O'reilly

...................

[uponit7771]

49. This is the most unprofessional moderated debate I've seen, the mods in this debate STANK

[AlinPA]

58. Agree. Sounds like Hannity going after a Democrat.

[tekisui]

51. I am repulsed by ABC's "reverence" of the Constitution

when chimpy and the War Crimes Administration have shredded it.

[thewiseguy]

53. Gibson is too small of a person to moderate this debate

[rug]

56. sexist

[uponit7771]

61. Comes across very uncrontrolled and argumenative to the debaters as if he's debating

[thewiseguy]

65. I read that he was nervous about this debate and was relieved that he had company

[Yael]

54. HRC -- "Cheney is a 4th arm of government by himself". LOL!!

[Life Long Dem]

55. Bad answer Clinton on gun control

[global1]

With All Due Respect Charlie - STFU......nt

[Yael]

60. Gibson -- "I don't think we got an answer out of Obama. Hillary?" What an asswipe.

[uponit7771]

66. he's just unprofessional to the nth degree

[grantcart]

62. what a piece of shit Gibson

[shadowknows69]

63. Oh, what works in NY?

Handgun violence is out of hand in upstate NY. There's at least a murder a week in Syracuse.

[rodeodance]

70. Hillary talked about crime prev. in PHILLY--BO talked about Chicago. oops

[NDambi]

74. where's your rock Rodeo?

[rodeodance]

118. te he--bitter much??

[AlinPA]

67. Affirmative action; waiting for a gotcha by Steph/Gibson

[uponit7771]

68. OMG!! Stop interupting the debaters!!!

[Hepburn]

69. WHITE Affirmative Action???

WTF is this question....!?!?!?

[NDambi]

71. LMao...this debate and these questions are a fucking joke

[meow mix]

73. i know wtf

:wow:

[tishaLA]

72. Why the fucking badgering?

Jesus it's so obnoxious.

[uponit7771]

76. They unprofessionalism of the moderators comes across in question and demeaner

[Phoonzang]

75. God-given potential....

Nice pander.

[Mezzo]

77. I think they both sound fine but Obama looks strung out.

flame all you want, he looks tired. She looks better than I've seen her look in a while.

[anonymous171]

80. NO flames on you. I am sooo pissed off at fucking Charlie Gibson.

[uponit7771]

81. ...I can understand his fustration with the moderators. DANGIT!! She just took his answer

[ShortnFiery]

86. Why am I not surprised? Whereas I think HRC looks "hung over."

;)

[The River]

78. Obama Is Doing Just Fine

and he's getting the majority of on-camera time.
Quit being so fretful.

[LSK]

79. RUNNING OUT OF TIME AND NOW YOU GET TO GAS PRICES??!?!?!?

818-560-1000

[uponit7771]

88. right!! those the 2 independently rich moderators don't really care about the gas prices

[LSK]

96. GAS PRICES 30 SECONDS, REVERAND WRIGHTS PATRIOTISM, 30 MINUTES

[high density]

82. Charles Gibson now spouting rightwing nonsense about gas prices

Wow he's playing John McCain's role in this debate.

[Yael]

83. Hillary -- I'm with McCain. Tax holiday on gas.

[OzarkDem]

84. IMHO, this debate is a focus group for the GOP

The questions being asked and the audience feedback is giving the GOP information on which wedge issues they should use against either candidate in the GE.

[anonymous171]

89. Yep. That's why Gibson is being such an asshole.

[OzarkDem]

94. Are you watching the audience feedback?

Its very telling and I'm sure that's why they're asking these questions.

Same old issues will work for GOP - guns, taxes, religion, etc.

OTOH, criticizing Bush and talking about the shitty economy really helps Dems.

[PM7nj]

92. Wow, I agree with you...

This debate is absolutely ridiculous.

[OzarkDem]

113. GOP is going to dust off the Affirmative Action wedge issue

They haven't used it in many years, primarily because its pretty much been wiped out. I was surprised to hear them bring it up.

Bet they're thinking that combined w/ growing unemployment and an AA or woman candidate, AA will be a wedge. They probably wanted to see how it plays out with both candidates in this debate.

[oviedodem]

85. She has gotten such softball questions; she will kill him in Philly because of how this debate

has been handled.

If he is not the nominee I won't be voting for anything other than my local issues.

[Teaser]

91. She won't kill him in Philly.

I live there. Trust me.

[ShortnFiery]

97. Relax, really - Obama handled those two with style and grace :-). eom

[muryan]

87. $50 says if Obama goes half a second over one minute

Gibson cuts him off.

[grantcart]

90. lol he will stab him with a flag pin

[GoesTo11]

93. Deep breath time.

On Intrade.com, no movement at all in prices during the debate (O: 81%, C: 18.4%).

Wonder what they'll loop.

[crispini]

95. "You've said you believe in using former Presidents"?

WTF kind of dumbass question is that? :rofl:

George S is an idiot.

[stillrockin]

103. GW would make a fine door stop.

[spanone]

98. the final GOTCHA question

[Connie_Corleone]

104. Senator Obama, why do you hate America?

Oh wait. That was the first 50 minutes of the debate. My bad.

:eyes:

[book_worm]

99. I think Obama's been doing great. Handling all the attacks with dignity and

looking presidential not like an attack dog. He'll come out of this experience fine.

[JCMach1]

100. Hell no, Bush Sr.'s policies have been shit!

[oviedodem]

101. I'll be honest his foreign policy was not terrible, Hillary even THINKING about using GW

ROTFL!!!!

[anonymous171]

105. What's the least important and most laboring position in the WH?

[mckeown1128]

111. The guy who cleans up after the pardoned turkeys on thanksgiving. nt

[ShortnFiery]

106. If you get beyond the ideology, Bush Sr. DID have a brain and a few good ideas.

:shrug:

[JCMach1]

115. Death squads in Central America... Civilians killed for no damn reason in Panama

and Gulf War I that simply left the stage for the current mess. Oh yeah, managing the fall of communism. He sent in the capitalist wolves into Russia and they nearly turned the country in 4th world.

No, there was not 1 good thing.

Get a grip people.

[mckeown1128]

107. The Persion Gulf war was handled well. nt

[JCMach1]

116. Define well! We put the same dicators back in-place and left one where he was

:wtf: are you talking about?

[mckeown1128]

119. so you are saying that we should have invaded Iraq???

So you prefer the Bush 43 policy.

[JCMach1]

120. We left him in-place with the world BEHIND us...

[tishaLA]

102. Wasn't this mess supposed to be only 1 1/2 hrs?

If it were a horse it'd be euthenized.

[spanone]

112. it was so mesmerizing they just couldn't stop

114. bo would seek advice of GWHB on foreign policy.--BO luvs them REPUGS!!*********

[susanwy]

117. Did Obama just say...

The president sets the mission????? WTF! I think we had that with GWB!! I want my president to set the goal, ask me to support and *gasp* sacrifice to achieve the goal and listen to the military to decide what mission(s) would best carry us to that goal. I have enough of an inexperienced president trying to "set the mission", or declaring "mission accomplish" when he doesn't have a clue. That is what got us here in the first place.

Sorry -5 on points for that answer.
