Just as I thought, Obama appeared WEAK in this debate. What do you think?

Obama, "John is correct"

McCain, "Senator Obama doesn't understand"

    I think you and I watched different debates.

    Being respectful and agreeing with someone doesn't make you weak, hear.

    But trying to put down another person in order to try and make yourself look better does.

    I saw it completely differently. Obama appeared very confident, gave definite answers, responded to all of McCain's comments, and generally came across quite well. McCain, however, sometimes appeared as if he wanted to be somewhere else, tended to get into logic loops, and just flat looked uncomfortable.

    The real question should be: did either man gain votes tonight? To that I would have to say probably not. While I personally think Obama looked better than McCain, I do not think he scored any real knockout blows.

    I was watching Fox News just a while ago and they are saying Obama did surprisingly well in a debate that mccain should have killed.

    McCain "Obama claims Iraq has not been a success"

    Obama "John, that is not true"

    Why does McCain like to lie?

    I thought that Obama talked well as usual. He did better than I expected. I felt he could have been more detailed though. That is one thing that worries me about Obama. He likes to tell us what sounds good but there really isn't a good plan behind it.

    That replaced into not a good commerce if that be actual. The polls are exhibiting that he did not win the 2nd via lots (if in any respect) in terms of voter sentiment. hence "clever" does not be a be conscious that properly might describe one among those approach. i might think of "stupid" could be a greater precise description (this is, if it replaced into accomplished on objective).

    That you are wrong in your assumption...

    Plus, using your logic: if Obama was saying McCain was correct, but McCain was saying Obama doesn't understand, would that not defacto make McCain wrong...yet again?

    Obama said 8 times John your right. Obama appeared weak. even the commentators on MSDNC said McCain won.

    "John is correct" was Obama being cordial. He said that most often followed by the word BUT...
