The Official Final Debate Thread

anyone else notice obama has white guy hands?

[captncrzy]

I don't see Obama scoffing. I see him smiling, probably at the fact that everything McCain says is completely retarded. McCain is the one doing the eye rolling, the snickering, the looking-like-he-wants-to-throw-himself-down-on-the-ground-and-cry-like-a-bitch bit. He's losing, and he doesn't like it.

"I can't believe I'm being beaten by this negro."

[Hannahrain]

I dont think Obama was nearly as bad as McCain, Hannah

He was every bit as bad. He sat there chortling and shaking his head like McCain was talking about wanting to fill the white house with ponies and convert it into a Barbie Dreamhouse.

[Hannahrain]

Every time I see them interact I like both less than I did before. I thought I was supposed to be inspired or something.

This is exactly it. It's not about who you like, it's about who tickles your gag reflex less.

[miscorrections]

Hannah's right. I'm violently not for McCain, but I can't say Obama leaves me filled with glee either. So sick of politicians.

I'm writing myself in this year.

oddly enough foxnew.com wasn't obama bashing on how the candidates did.......

joe the plumber is a real person who questioned obama and that's how he came up bc he's looking to buy a plumbing business form 250-280,000 and asked obama about his plan and hw it would effect him if he became a business owner

interesting.. so this joe plumber dude thinks that if you buy a plumbing business for $250,000, $250,000 is what your income is going to be the first year??? you are taxed on your income generated.. not on how much your assets are worth.. someone needs to send joe plumber to business 101..

ha ha hahah.. Obama was fired up.. you could tell when he smiled.. and those smirky lips.. I thought Obama held his fire much better than McCain..

[gaypalmsprings]

[karecares]

Some of the stupid shit he said was just as bad as the Barbie Dreamhouse bit.

Some standouts-medical records online-fucking retarded...now every potential insurer and employer can hack in and find out if you have the AIDS. Also, uncertified teachers? Yeah, that's a good idea. Let even more unqualified assholes teach children. A tax credit instead of a health care plan? How is that going to help those that CANT QUALIFY for health insurance. It costs about $10k a day to stay in the hospital. How is $5k going to help?

[Quadromarshia]

we spend more than any other country on education?

and Madagascar is ahead of us?

a fucking movie?

way to be selfish and vote for yourself, when millions of retarded and autistic kids are depending on your vote for McCain/Palin..
I think after getting to know most of the candidates over the past few months, I really like Ron Paul (everyone thinks he is nuts but me - ok I don't agree with his views that 9/11 was an inside job) and Dennis Kinichi from Ohio (again everyone thinks he is loony and that's why i like him)..

[MissingPerson]

I like the Troops to Teachers idea, but uh... I think there should be some qualifications involved. Otherwise Delta will be in charge of your children. Nobody wants that.

[luckyface]

I'm really fucking sick and tired of watching these two clowns scoff and smirk back and forth and patronize each other. They're the presidential nominees, not the nominees for the queen of the homecoming dance. Obama should be at least thirty years past feeling the need to be catty, and in McCain's case it's more like fifty. They're not impressing me by each acting like they're too noble to be sitting at a table with the other.

Hannah is smart.

[captncrzy]

Yeah, what's up with all the autism comments? Does he not know the difference between Corky and Rainman?

[miscorrections]

Don't you drag Will Sheff into this.

[luckyface]

Every time I see them interact I like both less than I did before. I thought I was supposed to be inspired or something.

This is also good. Corinna is smart, too.

[MissingPerson]

I dunno...

I think a lot of the time, when McCain was talking, he was attacking Obama's judgement and policies. It's hard to react right to that, the smirking looked more uncomfortable and irked, rather than smug, to me. By contrast, McCain looked like a bodysnatcher doing an impression of a human - he kept smiling into the camera at really weird times, as if he was trying to blend in so that Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones won't find him.

[joppy-slow]

ha hahha.. "You never go full-retard!"

[karecares]

the uncertified teachers thing is primarily for 2nd career people who already have educations in specialty areas such as science, math etc who are teaching while getting their el. ed or high school teachers degree, in nj its called alternate route

[betao]

I think it'd be cool if, for once, the debate of PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES included some of the more popular independents (basically Nader) and people from the other parties. Why only show the Dems and Reps? Why not be fair and let the public see all of the candidates?

Just my opinion.

[SoulDischarge]

With Nader up there, those suckas would have to spit some REAL TALK.

[faxman75]

when did mccain become a smart ass?
he was much more likeable when he was a senator w a sense of humor going on jon stewart

At the beginning of this campaign I was really happy we were going to get one of two people who would be way better than Bush as time went on I felt like was getting one guy who was way better and another that was v 2.0. McCain at least has some brains, not as much smarts as Obama but more smarts than Bush.

[karecares]

i hate to correct you mark but u know i'm an asshole 2.8 is techincally right but bush is probably more accurate. my almost 3 year old dog is smarter than Bush it's really not that much of an accomplishment. i do believe that mccain has good intentions and truly believes "his" (aka handlers) viewpoints would be positive for the country; i just disagree with how he wants to implement them and his presentation of such

[faxman75]

I didn't know you were an asshole lol, however I think the 2000 model of McCain was a stronger candidate. So I guess technically the new version of McCain is only slightly smarter than Dubya. I don't think he even knows what he believes at this point. He really does look like they wind him up and slide audio tracks inside him on a computer disk and just stumps non stop. I really think this race would be closer if he didn't chose Palin and the campaign didn't have to spend so much time hiding and coaching her. It's like they literally did find hockey mom who knows nothing about national or foreign issues. Scary. This would be really fucking close right now if Huckabee was the VP on the ticket.
