McCain just said about 10 false things about Obama, reading it all from a piece of paper
During the town hall meeting they just showed (part of) on MSNBC, McCain rattled off all these lies, from Obama being against every form of renewable energy to raising taxes on everybody to leaving Iraq by a certain date no matter what's happening on the ground. It was such a pathetic scene. He READ all of this while hardly taking his eyes off his notes the entire time. How could this guy even be CLOSE to Obama? I don't think he WILL be close once he's head-to-head with him in the debates.

1. Yea, I'm not sure why
people think town halls and debates are McCain's forte. Anything that involves speaking is never good for McCain.

5. I kind of like the fact that the bar has been set so low for Obama...
it will make his performance in the debates all the better when Obama kicks McCain's butt.

2. McCain is now outright lying and being abetted by the media

They won't hold him accountable for his lies, just like they wouldn't hold the swiftboaters accountable in 2004.

8. At LEAST they're starting to QUESTION his negative statements...
but they're not challenging them NEARLY enough.

13. At least Obama knows how to turn this shit around on McCain
Edited on Wed Jul-30-08 01:11 PM by IWantAnyDem
Obama will handle it. He knows he's running against both McCain AND the media just like he was running against both Clinton AND the media in teh primaries.

It's like Mchelle says, Barack is always the underdog until he's in the White House.

Time to go throw another $25 into the pot...

14. Yes he does...but he may need to make another ad or two real quick...
Michelle's exactly right. I just hope this BS bites McCain in the butt.

Good idea! :hi:

I'm surprised he doesn't need his bifocals.
He sure doesn't look comfortable up there.

4. Any one have a link to this townhall?
You noticed it too, eh?

I posted in the bear dna thread to see if there was a link to the video.

*snip*
There's something he said I need to google. He mentioned something about him not voting for/support any pork barrel projects or something........it didn't sound right but I need to listen to the meeting again

9. Close?
I doubt if he's really that close poll-wise right now. I seriously don't trust the polls: Obama can fill a stadium at the drop of a hat, and McSurge can barely fill a medium-sized high school gym. Go figure!
