Post-debate Palaver

Right from the first question, Barack Obama showed his cool and calm, and McCain showed agitation.

McCain: we’ve got to have a package of reforms, and it’s got to lead to reform prosperity, and peace in the world.

Um, what is “reform prosperity?”  I suppose one could read it like “reform, prosperity, and peace…” but he didn’t put a vocal comma in his sentence.

Meg Whitman, CEO of Ebay, for Treasury Secretary?  Ugh, didn’t she just lay off 10 percent of her workforce?

Warren Buffett, on the other hand, is like a financial force of nature: strong, stable, prudent, and not a huge risk taker.

And Brokaw, reminding people of time constraints?  Ugh, what a schoolmarm.

The debate continued on, with McCain seeming to grow older before our eyes, and Obama staying calm and collected, in command of his ideas.

I’m glad the debate stayed civil, with nothing particularly nasty coming out.  I liked Obama’s body language and voice.  They conveyed confidence and strength.  McCain seemed almost hunched over, as if he were hiding something.  At other times, you could see the anger just beneath the surface of his face.  Calling Senator Obama “that one,” though, is too reminiscent of the racist phrase “those people,” and that was a mistake that let his true colors show.

John McCain is a weak-minded, anti-semitic, racist, spoiled scion of an American military dynasty.  He’s so desparate to be the Commander-in-Chief that he’ll say or do anything – his long career of flip-flops shows that clearly, and his current “regulate them to death” mindset is just the latest flip-flop in his unremarkable, yet corrupt career.

If we really want to put Country First, we’ll vote for Change We Can Believe In and elect Barack Obama the next President of the United States of America.
