Tuesday night, the second presidential debate took place in was the defining moment thus far of this election and the stark opposite minds and character that are Barack Obama and John McCain. 72-year-old John McCain showed himself last night, to some American viewers who were paying attention for the first time, as the real "elist" a rich, upper class arrogant old man. He looked argry, stark, and frozen stuck in the past with references to Ronald "Satan" Reagan, proving himself again as a wolf in sheep's clothing, which is exactly what Mr. Reagan was. Many independent Ohio voters felt both candidates spoke mostly about the same things, with some slightly new ideas about issues this time. Like Sen. John McCain cited buying up all the bad mortgages and re-financing to families can stay in their home - However, under a mortgage rescue plan announced at the debate Tuesday night by Senator John McCain, much of the burden of paying to keep troubled borrowers in their homes will shift to taxpayers.
It took just eight minutes into Tuesday's presidential debate for Republican candidate McCain to land the first blow, blaming Obama and Democrats for the collapse of mortgage giants Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae.
"They're the ones that, with the encouragement of Sen. Obama and his cronies and his friends in Washington, that went out and made all these risky loans, gave them to people that could never afford to pay back," McCain said.
Obama responded: "I've got to correct a little bit of Sen. McCain's history, not surprisingly. ... In fact, Sen. McCain's campaign chairman's firm was a lobbyist on behalf of Fannie Mae, not me."
I had to stop and think about this. CRONIES? Senator John McCain used the word three times in this debate
The most memorable moment of this presidential election thus far, the most cynical, character defining words from John McCain's mouth were most definetly spewed tonight.
"I know you grow a little weary with this back-and-forth. It was an energy bill on the floor of the Senate loaded down with goodies, billions for the oil companies, and it was sponsored by Bush and Cheney. You know who voted for it? You might never know. That one. You know who voted against it? Me. I have fought time after time against these pork barrel -- these bills that come to the floor..."
This was such a racially charged statement and a statement of ignorant disregard to a great man's legacy and life, STAN GRIMES wrote a beautiful decription of exactly that "THAT ONE" really means and the context that it is used.
Clearly, Senator Barack Obama showed himself as the better candidate throughout this entire election, and it was made crystal clear in this debate and it will be very interesting to see what these desperate people do in the last 26 days of the election. Barack Obama won a number of interesting polls, let's take a look:
National Polls
- Barack Obama was more intelligent in this debate - 57%
- John McCain was more intelligent in this debate - 25%
- Barack Obama was more clearly expressed then McCain - 60%
- John McCain was more clearly expressed than Obama - 30%
- John McCain spent more time attacking Obama - 63%
But Senator Barack Obama has shown himself as the better candidate throughout this entire election, the republicans are running out of ideas, stragedy and tactics, lol, against Barack, they know he is the leading candidate at this point, and they are going to hurt so bad when he wins and they lose.
