1. Obama is a Jedi Master

: - ))))

26. Foolish Hillary and the Moderators were! Forgot the real issues, they did!

Sorry come election time, they will be!!!!!!!

;-)

32. Beware the dark side... tempt you it will; consume you it can. Like it did Chelsea's mother

[0007]

2. Good girl Windy!

[Writer]

3. And this is what you do when you do poorly in a debate: blame the debate itself. n/t

[stray cat]

4. Did you truly think it was a great substantive debate by ABC?

[Texas Hill Country]

14. the last half was decent, and she whooped him on the substantive stuff.

[Arugula Latte]

5. No ... There is overwhelming reaction against it because it was so ridiculously apparent

that Gibson and Stephanopoulous were out to slash Obama over ridiculous shit.

[HysteryDiagnosis]

6. It would be better if debates with twittish moderators such as

these were done in a bar room environment. Then you could knock the hooey out of them for being so inane. I mean, I wish it were ok for the candidate to say "are you out of your ever loving mind???!!!"

[BlueIdaho]

7. So...

To you the real issues all Americans really want to know about are:

1. Flag Pins

2. Obama's Minister

3. How someone spent the 1960's

Not

1. Health Care

2. Iraq

3. The Economy

4. Poverty

5. Racism in America

6. Loss of Individual Rights and Civil Liberties

7. The rejection of Habaes Corpus

Really?

11. Let me ask you this:

Are all those issues at the bottom of the list what we typically discuss on this forum?

[BlueIdaho]

17. No fair changing the subject

when you are losing the argument.

[Writer]

22. Actually you're the one who offered the list of "issues" that ABC was supposed to discuss.

Isn't it just a bit hypocritical that we ask ABC to spend its time on issues that we rarely if ever discuss on internet forums and in the public at large?

[BlueIdaho]

29. I don't own a network

Do you?

By the way - just open your eyes - these issues do get discussed both here and elsewhere.

[Writer]

31. I used to work at NBC.

Typically viewer complaints to the net were placed on an intranet "complaints" file sorted by program. We'd typically read them and laugh.

Go after the advertisers if you're mad at a media firm.

Issues are not typically discussed here. I don't see them. Most people complain about the "cesspool" that is GDP because of this issue. But at the same time we lambaste each other and the media for not considering them. It's crap. We hold the media to a higher standard than we hold ourselves.

[virgdem]

23. If you have to ask a question like that..

you haven't been paying attention. Issues brought up by Blue Idaho are discussed on a daily basis on this board.

[Writer]

24. Where? And how many posts out of the many posted each day? n/t

[Shakespeare]

16. This is not about how either candidate did. It's about that travesty ABC put on last night.

I don't support either candidate--I think neither did either well or poorly, btw--and it was clearly a steaming pile of shit.

50 minutes in before they ask a question on the issues? Are you fucking KIDDING me?

It was inexcusable and shameful, and you should be royally offended no matter WHO you support.

I'm really, really tired of the jeering Hillary supporters--this isn't something the Obama supporters are latching onto and whining about. Every single media review on the debate has taken ABC to the woodshed. It's NOT just Obama supporters.

[Window]

21. Oh please. That so called debate was absolutely disgusting.

[Austinitis]

8. Because he has to!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!

[K Gardner]

9. "Senator Clinton looked in her element last night." ROFL !! GOBAMA !

[TwilightGardener]

10. Always remember, right before Iowa, when the madrassa and

kindergarten-gate stuff started: "This is the fun part". Obama knows what she's all about.

[K Gardner]

13. Did you catch him brushing the.. dirt.. off his shoulder?? That's gonna be a trademark Obama classic

.. BRUSH IT OFF !

[TwilightGardener]

15. Yep--about the best response he can make.

[jenmito]

20. That's a move made popular by Jay-Z:

[sandnsea]

12. That was pretty good

Thanks for posting, I'd have missed it otherwise. He handles this shit beautifully. We will have to make sure and get it out there in the fall because the media isn't going to.

[Unsane]

18. God damn he's good.

[ShortnFiery]

19. Obama's got game! ... He's also got Elvis. :-)

+ Yes. We. Can.

25. Damage control

eh

[goclark]

27. That should be a csmpaign ad ~ the part about dusting

yourself off!

He is too much.

Watch, he will tran his supporters to just dust it off.

He is saying,"Don't get mad,get even and get out the vote!"


:bounce:

[loyalsister]

28. Awesome

This is a perfect example of how his oratory skills will transfer. He would be amazing on the bully pulpit.

[ORDem]

30. That's excellent video there. It really shows what he can do with an

issue, to talk about it openly and honestly and get to the point without a bunch of prepared sound-bites.

:dem:

[Kahuna]

33. He's making lemonade out of those lemons!
