[gaiilonfong]

7. Here we go with the "Surge" again... n/t

[elkston]

8. Great answer!!!

He said .. "Why haven't you asked John McCain if his original Iraq vote was correct?"

[Skidmore]

9. Yeeahhh! Ker-freaking-pow!

And called the media on the reverberating echo chamber in that answer as well. They need to start asking other questions.

[quantass]

12. BIG +1

[creeksneakers2]

15. I'd love to see McCain's answer

MeCain told Stephanopoulos this morning that US troops WERE greeted as liberators in Iraq.

[moondust]

11. M$M hacks/McWacko stooges.

There should be a way to throw them out right along with the Republicans they serve.

[Ichingcarpenter]

10. Is that CNN's Dr. Sanjay? The one that slammed Michael Moore?

[elkston]

13. Uh oh. Hard, Hard question.

He was asked if his administration would issue an official apology to Native Americans.

SHIT...
now the Reparations question. Shaky ground....

[mucifer]

14. he answered well

[Basement Beat]

19. How did he answer it??

I'm very curious....

[Bobcat]

16. Re; Questions

"Would you have progressed this far had you BEEN a Muslim?" Barack is correct to respond that these "Muslim" questions are "no-win" questions. Why don't these "reporters" ask McCain these very same questions? Put his lame ass in a hypothetical box and watch him try to flail his way out.....

[elkston]

18. Yeah. Ironically, these UNITY questions were harder than MTP.

These were the toughest questions I've seen him asked since getting the nomination.

Very tricky, nuanced stuff about reparations, immigration, official apologies, affirmative action.

In general: I think he answered well, but Barack is a tad too optimistic in people's ability to see past discrmination -- at least at this point.

However, I realize that Barack is trying to catch more flies with honey. He wants to beleive in our hope to come together instead of being pessimistic -- even though I beleive HE knows its tougher than that.

[gblady]

17. I think....

he did really well...did not take any shit whatsoever!
I hope he gets that nap he talked about, boy looks tired.


oh god....wolfie is back on the surge in the after discussion...
they are so sickening!
