Random Thoughts on First Obama-McCain Debate


Well, they debated for the first time on 9/26. Interesting evening…

-“Festooned?”…nice job by McCain to stick that one in although it’s a phrase he’s used in the past so it’s not like he came up with it off the cuff or anything. “Festooned with Christmas Tree ornaments”…nice imagery.

-Can Obama say uh..uh..uh. a little more? He set himself up for the perfect soundbite when he attacked McCain on his original pro-Iraqi invasion stance in 2003 with the following; “John, you were wrong about us being greeted as liberators, you were wrong about there being weapons of mass destruction, and uh…uh….uh….uhhhh, you were wrong about the war paying for itself”

-McCain looked and acted like the curmudgeonly old man at the nursing home. Or maybe more like a post-Civil War plantation owner having his first conversation wtih his newly-freed slave…”look him in the eye John, look at him!”.

-You measure the importance of a war and your support of said war by the number of bracelets you have on and the dramatic impact of the story behind the reason you are wearing the bracelet.
