McCain and Obama Reach Agreement on Debates

You libs are funny you attack McCain for having 5 million dollars which pails in comparison to what Obama has, to what the know nothing celebrities have that are out there supporting Obama, the millionaires that ?Obama meets secretly with in San Francisco multiple times

Obama is an elitist American Hating Socialist!!

McCain was joking get over it!!

Figures Obama would avoid answering real questions like the plague. Course he also failed miserably at the Saddleback forum so who knows. Hopefully a question or two will be asked as to why Obama is in favor of killing live babies.
Lucy, McCain has always stated (as noted by Marc Ambinder at the atlantic) that only a full blown World War 3. Not surpisingly you're leaving out the vast majority of the question which was "My son is an officer in the Air Force, I'm a vet., and I was raised in a military family. And I think it's a sorry state of affairs. When we have illegal aliens; having a medic-aid card that can access specialists, top physicians, the best of medical, and our vets can't even get to a doctor. And these are the people that we tied yellow ribbons for and Bush patted on the back. If we don't re-enact the draft, I don't think we'll have anyone to chase Bin Laden to the gates of Hell.". If you read Ambinder's post you'll see McCain says nothing about the draft at all in response. In fact the only people who have brought draft legislation are democrats! Even though they lie and say "Well there's talk of a draft" because of their legislation. or the make a crappy ad about a newborn who wouldn't be close to 18 even if McCain served 2 terms.

James, you make my point for me. By "people" McCain means the top 1.5% of the population.

Its obvious from the tape that he wasnt joking and he was being laughed at.

McCain makes about $6 million a year, and he may have been trying to say that he doesn't know, except that he considers himself rich.

If you believe that he was joking you have to believe that he has now idea what he's talking about.

Lucy, and so what is your point about the draft? Several Democrats have been calling for the reinstatement of the draft for years.

McCain will be bumbling fool at the debates. No cone of silence to violate to hear the questions first this time. Also Joe Liberman can't whisper the answers in his ear. McCain is done for.

Sorry, that should have been: "...that comment will be distorted.."

Lets hope these debates are not bias to one candidate or the other. Without telepromtor, Obama does not do well. Make sure Obama doesn't have a hearing piece in his ear.

I understand that Sen. McCain was asked yesterday this question, 'how many houses do you own?,' and he couldn't answer that question.

"I think -- I'll have my staff get to you." -- John McCain, when asked by Politico how many houses he owns.
-----------
When a McCain supporter said that she thought we would have to institute a draft to pursue bin Laden, McCain said that he didn't disagree.
------------
Yesterday at a townhall meeting, an audience member praised Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) for his vow to "follow bin Laden to the gates of hell." After a long question about veterans' care, the questioner said she believed we needed to reinstate the draft, to which McCain seemed to readily agree:
QUESTIONER: If we don't reenact the draft, I don't think we'll have anyone to chase Bin Laden to the gates of hell.
[Appaluse]
MCCAIN: Ma'am, let me say that I don't disagree with anything you said.

Why won't 0bama do town halls?

Obama needs a teleprompter.

Flash Override: "$5 million" WAS a joke. Here is what Sen. McCain actually said:

"So I think if you're just talking about income, how about 5 million. So--seriously, I don't think you can--I don't think, seriously that--the point is that I'm trying to make here seriously--and I'm sure that comment will be distroed, but the point is--the point is--the point is that we want to keep people's taxes low and increase revenues."

Obviously he was joking! And the audience laughed because it was a joke. A poor joke. But a joke nonetheless.

Now then Sen. Obama's answer was: "If you are making $150 thousand a year or less as a family, then are you middle class or you may be poor. But $150 down, you are basically middle class. Obviously it depends on the region where you are living."

GUESS WHAT? According to the latest IRS data (2006) updated July 2008: $153,542 is the cutoff for the Top FIVE PERCENT; and $108,904 is the cutoff for the Top TEN PERCENT.

According to the latest USA Today/Gallup poll, the answer is yes. Released at 2:16 this afternoon, the new Gallup numbers give McCain a 49 to 45 percent edge over his rival from Illinois.....

Newsweek, July 28 2008

The second debate is a townhall filled by Gallup with "undecided voters".

uh huh

The local people of Nashville will not be able to attend.

Strange.

Obama can not handle real debates.

He can only do scripted debates, speeches and statements.

Shows his inability to be able handle any diplomatic situations that can arise.

What is he going to do if a foreign nation ask him a direct Question, take recess to get the answer from someone who knows something?

He should go to hollywoods where They make their claim to fame on scripted living.

The second debate will be a Town Hall.

They say --

"In the spirit of the Town Hall, all questions will come from the audience (or internet), and not the moderator."

Are the questions from the audience pre-screened? Who decides which questions from the internet to use? I am sure it will be McCain and Obama handlers.

The other 2 debates -- can you really trust the Jim Lehrer and Bob Schieffer to ask tough questions of both Obama and McCain?

This is good for McCain because if he could hold his own in these 3 Liberal controlled debates means he won the debate!!

The only network that even attempts to be fair.....has no representation on the debate moderator team

While George, Jake and others were asking tough fair questions Tom was reporting on the flavor of ice cream Obama liked. Cant wait to see the deep questions he selects.

Why won't 0bama do town halls?

Nobodys fool

You're absolutely right! It's hilarious to be that they can't seem to figure out why they were excluded from the process. Duh! Their line of tabloid questions was a disgrace.

Flash...exactly my opinion...he looked VERY unfortable..and that laugh was very telling
