Presidential Debate II: McCain vs. Obama

I know Obama voted for the energy bill, but I thought McCain didn't vote. I hope the fact checkers catch it.

 

Is it a commodity or not, Obama?

 

I think he's answering that. He didn't say commodity, but he is addressing the question, in my opinion.

 

Alright, and I appreciate your input. I've read about the disaster going on with ethanol. It's working out fine in Brazil, but not here. Sadly I think Obama has ties to it, and is heavily invested in. I think I've read about from bipartisan sources which is pretty damning.

Solar has been around for awhile but I don't seen any sort of improvement on it. I think it should improve when solar panels grow smaller. Sort of like how computer chips have become drastically smaller since their first creation, and run many times faster over the past few decades. It doesn't really seem to keep the same pace or show any sort of improvement though.

Nuclear does seem to be a good idea, but I think the stigma with it is going to be tough to sell to many American citizens.

I agree that wind seems most viable. Again thanks again though for your input.

 

I’d like to hear your rationale. The argument in favour is pretty bullet-proof. These projects need to be built. For the most part it makes the most sense for the government to build them. If the government builds them in economic down times then:

a) they are cheaper to build.
b) they put people to work and stimulate the economy.

 

I agree. Not impressed by either of them.

 

Yeah - I think you're right Ismail. It would just help for him to say "yes" or "no" right off the bat. Then elaborate...

 

McCain is limping around like his legs are of different lengths.

 

I think that it's due to 1) the format sucking and 2) questions being asked/answers being given that most of us have heard before and the same rebuttals from both sides.

 

Hair transplants, I meet need one ofthose myself....

Is he trying to play a joke on his age?

 

Hair implants...

I'll resist the Cindy McCain reference.

 

Cross state lines to get healthcare? Will that cover mileage? WTF?

 

McCain, screwed up.

Healthcare is a responsibility? Isn't that what we think right now and have gotten no where? Leave it to the executives at companies?

 

Obama just plain destroyed mccain here. Just plain demolished.

 

It comes off as much more of a "he-said, she-said" debate.

Brokaw is helping Obama with the time a whole lot. His one minute rebuttal has gone on for at least 2 minutes.

 

That's the third or forth time Brokaw has cut Obama off. WTF Tom!

 

Yup, Obama smashed him on that.

 

Will someone let me know when they get to the Ayers topic?

 

Maybe he's writing a book about McCain?

 

I hate comments like these. He's old. I get it. Criticize his issues. Not his health, unless it pertains to Palin. I think this issue is exaggerated the more I read about it. His mother is still alive and over 90 years old so genetics must be on his side a little bit.
