Title: Oxford, Ms Presidential Debate Live Thread - September 26, 2008 - 9PM Eastern
Post by: Wretched Excess on September 26, 2008, 02:03:53 PM
Quote
Neither has been a particularly distinguished debater. McCain has a blunt and straightforward style; Obama can be much more cool and diffident. McCain's reputation for being easily angered can work against him, while Obama will have to fight a tendency to sound too nuanced and professorial.

I got the above quote from here: The Debate (http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20080926/ts_nm/us_usa_politics_debate_scenariosnews;_ylt=Ahi0tZcbO_Hj72O393YQmmJsnwcF)

Maybe I've been seeing a different Obama than the "journalist", but the Obama I've been seeing tends to sound somewhat like an idiot when without a teleprompter instead of "too nuanced and professorial". Is this just another case of media bias or have I missed something about Obama?

Obama's performance at SaddleSore was like an 0-16 football team. He didn't do anything right. Offense, Defense and Special Teams.
He can't do any worse, so he'll be seen as "doing better", which is the same as going from 0-16 to 3-13.
An improvement, but still no playoffs and certainly no Super Bowl. That just gets your coach fired.
John McCain is quite the opposite. He went 16-0 so any little thing will be seen as a loss. Going 12-4 after a perfect season is strong but it will be seen as a disappointment.

So far Obama has demonstrated that he has a bitch of a time saying anything that actually makes sense when he is speaking off-script, and he has a ponderously over-intellectualized way of delivering the gibberish he eventually does manage to choke out.

Supposedly, the Obamessiah will try to make some comments blaming McCain for the economic mess, to keep McCain on the defensive.  I tend to think that McCain will bring up the $105,000+ that Obama got from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac quickly, and put the Obamessiah on his heels.

Hugh Hewitt has a thread on his blog which tries to establish an over/under for the times Obama says "Ummm . . ." or "You know," or 'Aaah," or "And."  Don't quite know what has been established.

I can't find that, either. I was just going to watch it on tv.

Well remember, both candidates know the questions and have prepared answers...the only off the cuff responses will be when they are allowed to respond to eachother.  still may be worthwhile.

Barack Hussein Obama runs a risk of being over prepared:

Quote
As President, how would you strengthen international cooperation to prevent nuclear capabilities from falling into dangerous hands and turn [our current] failing grade into an "A"? -- What alternative fuel, energy efficiency, and emissions reduction policies would you seek to implement nationally and internationally by the end of your first term as President in January 2013? -- How will you elevate both the level and effectiveness of US government development spending to advance our national security and foreign policy goals? -- How will you reaffirm America's global leadership in promoting human rights and the rule of law around the world? -- As President, how will you actively engage China while encouraging it to become a stronger stakeholder in the international system?

He also interrupted him too much, and McCain got to say "naive" way too many times.

From what I saw/heard. I thought both did well.  Different in their own aspects, but well nonetheless.

Obama has to stop the "McCain is right..." at the beginning of an answer, that's a killer.

I think Obama could have hammered McCain on some aspects, but McCain did well hammering on to Obama.

Overall, I still say it's a tie, with McCain leaning to the win.

It had the professor v. student aura - Obama looked like he way in over his head, and I don't think he should have kept callin McCain "John" - he looked like a disrespectful teenager when he did that. He also interrupted him too much, and McCain got to say "naive" way too many times.

I noticed all the interruptions too. It was like, well...... like ya said, he was a spoiled teenager throwing a fit because his dad won't let him borrow the car.... it was great.

From what I saw/heard. I thought both did well.  Different in their own aspects, but well nonetheless.

Obama has to stop the "McCain is right..." at the beginning of an answer, that's a killer.

I think Obama could have hammered McCain on some aspects, but McCain did well hammering on to Obama.

Overall, I still say it's a tie, with McCain leaning to the win. 

your boy got obliterated. :-)

Interesting quote from DU.  

Quote
My personal (and unhappy) opinion is that the fact that it ended on National Security, with McCain speaking last and sounding all the right notes with regard to his "experience", the final outcome is that this debate gave a big edge to McCain among undecided voters.

Thats what I'm seeing - Tied. not a good sign for the Obamessiah. Otherwise there would be a total Obama lovefest going on right now. The only clear Obama win Ive seen was just on fox with a focus group. Honestly though.. I think the group was infiltrated, some of the folks questioned spit out Obama talking points.

Dick Morris is wrong nine times out of ten. I'm hearing more of this:

Quote
Obama certainly made it clear that he's conversant and nuanced in foreign policy, but McCain finished strongly and deflected deftly Obama's attempts to associate him with George Bush. McCain was tougher than Obama.

Just now I spoke with Herb Smith, the astute political science professor from McDaniel College in Maryland and one of our keenest political observers. "Eight times, Obama said something like, 'Senator McCain is right, or John is right,' and that is unprecedented in a presidential debate," Smith said. "You don't do that in a debate. By contrast, I counted McCain saying, 'What Senator Obama doesn't understand . . .' about six or seven times, suggesting his naivete in foreign policy. McCain stayed on point, stayed on message."

So Obama was too nice again, too gracious. "He bent over backwards so far," says Smith, "he almost fell on his face. His media handlers should be taking him to the woodshed for that."

Too nice, too gracious (barf) - but the left is mad that BHO looked so weak. I thought McCain was hilarious when he asked Obama if he thought that McCain couldn't hear him.  :-)

They are coming unglued and are on the verge of eating each other at the DUmp so MaCain must have done pretty well.

I was sitting at the dealership getting my oil changed and breaks redone when the debate was running. :(

Fight Night!
Scoring Obama-McCain, round by round.
by Jonathan V. Last
09/26/2008 11:50:00 PM

Round 1: Where do you stand on the Paulson bailout plan?
Obama says that Main Street was suffering long before Wall Street and that we have to move swiftly and wisely. Also, he says that he's put forward proposals to make this plan work better, most importantly to make sure we bail out the deadbeats who are being foreclosed on, too, and not just the Richie Riches at Lehman. Oh, and by the way and Bush and McCain caused this whole thing.

McCain opens by saying that he wishes Ted Kennedy all the best, signaling that he believes Sarah Palin has brought the GOP base onboard for good. He then points to the bipartisan nature of the modified Paulson package. And says that this is only the end of the beginning of the financial crisis. Neither guy answered the question, prompting Lehrer to re-ask.

On redirect, Obama says he can't say whether he's for it or not because he hasn't seen the details. But that it's important to remember that he warned of the crisis two years ago. Which kind of leaves one wondering why, if he knew that the "worst economic crisis since the Great Depression" was coming down the pike, all he did was write a letter to Paulson instead of acting to head it off.

McCain says that he is going to vote for the bailout and then talks about how important it is to hold people accountable for their actions. This is a close one since neither guy conveys any deep understanding of the situation or insight into the solution.
Round to Obama

Round 2: Are there fundamental difference between your two approaches to the crisis?
McCain goes right after spending, hitting his reform theme and blaming Republicans for their earmarks, out of control spending, and scandals. It's like he's daring Obama to be harder on the GOP than he is.

Obama says that earmarks are bad--though not as bad as "the special interests"! But Obama maintains that McCain's tax cuts for evil corporations and the rich are a worse source of waste than earmarks. Standing traditional supply-side economics on its head, Obama says he wants to grow the economy from the "bottom up."

The two then go back and forth on McCain's business tax cuts, culminating in McCain pointing that the U.S. business tax is 35 percent, Ireland's is 11 percent, and that lowering business taxes is one of the ways you keep businesses in America and create jobs. When Obama challenges this, he says that all of the "loopholes" actually make business taxes too low--suggesting that he'd like to make the U.S. less hospitable to businesses. Then McCain hits Obama for talking and not doing. Obama looks peevish.
Round to McCain

Round 3: As president, what will you give up to pay for the $700 billion bailout?
Obama says, quite nonsensically, that he's going to give up foreign oil by turning to wind, solar, and alternative fuels. He then goes on to talk about all the other things he is going to spend money on. If you were at all concerned that Obama's "no new taxes" pledge might not be written in stone, he isn't setting your mind at ease.

McCain says that we have to get spending under control and that he'd examine every agency of the government. Then, just throw an elbow at Iowa voters, he says that the first thing he'd do is cut the ethanol subsidy. Also, in an attempt to drive Michael Goldfarb from his staff, he singles out the DDX program in a long list of government waste that he'd go after.

When asked again what he would give up, Obama ducks the question, saying, again, that he will invest in ending our dependence on foreign oil. Not to pick nits but technically, that's new spending. Lehrer seems perturbed.

McCain then goes on the offensive saying we ought to consider a spending freeze (minus defense, entitlements, and veterans affairs). Thinking he has an opening, Obama pounces, saying that he wouldn't endorse a spending freeze because there are lots of under-funded programs that need more money from the federal government. It's not clear how this is helping reassure people that he won't raise their taxes.
Round to McCain

Round 4: What are the lessons of Iraq?
McCain says that you need to be mindful that strategies can fail and that flexibility is important. He says that we're winning in Iraq and that we will come home with victory and honor and a newly-minted ally in the region. He gives Gen. Petraeus and the troops all the credit.

Obama says that this is a fundamental difference between the two men because six years ago he stood up the salons of Hyde Park and bravely opposed the war. He then paints a picture of American defeat around the globe and claims that al Qaeda is stronger than it's been at any time since 2001. For whatever it's worth, this last assertion is counter to recent analysis of al Qaeda's strength. It betrays a staggering ignorance on Obama's part; his position deteriorates from there.
Round to McCain

Round 5: About that Afghanistan . . .
Obama says we need more troops in Afghanistan, which is why we need to pull out of Iraq and get tough with Pakistan.

McCain says that he regrets the mistake we made by neglecting the Afghanis after they drove the Soviets out, allowing the Taliban to take hold. He then paints Obama as reckless for wanting to cut off aid to a tottering nuclear power. The knowledge gap is beginning to show and it gets worse when Obama mangles pre-Musharraf Pakistani history.

As the exchange goes on it becomes clear that these guys like each other about as much as Ali and Foreman did.
Round to McCain

Round 6: How big a threat is Iran?
McCain says that a nuclear Iran is an existential threat to Israel and a strategic threat to the stability of the region. He notes that Russia is blocking action at the U.N. and touts a "League of Democracies" which could implement serious and tough sanctions on Iran. But "have no doubt," he's ready to throw down. He gallantly doesn't mention that Mahmoud Ahmadinejad seems to prefer Obama.

Obama says that we need Russia and China to help with sanction. But the real thing we need with Iran is--hold on to your seats--tough, direct diplomacy!

McCain hits Obama for pledging to talk with Ahmadinejad without preconditions. Obama should just take his lumps here--this is the cost of winning the Democratic nomination. But instead he tries to weasel out of it, saying that he'll "sit down with anybody" but that there have to be "preparation." Then he tries to get cute by saying that Ahmadinejad may not be the most important person in Iran. It's a weird pride that keeps Obama committed to a losing position when he should just find different ground to fight on. You'll notice, by the way, that whenever he loses his way, he blurts out "President Bush."

McCain says that his opponent's views aren't "just naive, but dangerous." Obama isn't doing anything to dispel this notion.
Round to McCain

Round 7: Russia. Competitor? Enemy? Partner? Discuss.
Obama says that the evidence of recent weeks says we need to reevaluate our relationship with Russia and that we should start expanding NATO immediately. But that we can't return to a Cold War posture.

McCain says that Obama's first reaction to the Russia-Georgia conflict was to urge both sides to show restraint, evincing further "naiveté." It's pretty rough, particularly when he starts talking about the specifics of South Ossetia.
Round to McCain

Round 8: What is the likelihood of another 9/11?
McCain says it's "much less than it was the day after 9/11" and that we are a safer nation, even though we are not safe. He talks about how he pushed for the creation of the 9/11 Commission against the wishes of President Bush and how he worked with Democrats to pass most of the Commission's recommendations. Most gratifyingly, he talks about how important it is to bolster American intelligence capabilities, particularly in the area of HUMINT.

Obama says that we are safer in some ways, but still have a long way to go. He smartly points out that we have yet to harden transportation points (excluding airports), chemical facilities, and other attractive targets. He also talks about the need to focus on nuclear proliferation, in order to keep nuclear materials out of the hands of terrorists. This is the most comfortable and commanding he's been all night.

McCain goes back to Obama's desire to withdrawal from Iraq, saying that Obama doesn't realize how interconnected Iraq is to the wider terrorist threat. Obama responds that Iraq is a huge disaster and hindrance to everything America needs to do in the world.

Then McCain throws down the gauntlet with what I suspect will be the only line people take away from the night: "There are some advantages to experience and knowledge and judgment. And I honestly don't believe that Sen. Obama has the knowledge or experience and has made the wrong judgments in a number of areas."

Then he takes another big swing: "You know we've seen this stubbornness before in this administration, to cling to a belief that somehow the surge has not succeeded and failing to acknowledge that he was wrong about the surge shows to me that we need more flexibility in a president of the United States than that. . . . I don't think I need any on-the-job training."

This round is a Rorschach. If you love Obama, he acquitted himself well. If you have questions about Obama, you found McCain's assault devastating. The big question is how undecideds will see this last exchange.
Round to McCain

My scorecard says that McCain won the night 7-1, which frankly surprises me. On paper that looks like a rout, but McCain didn't seem that dominant as it was happening. Certainly there was nothing in the debate that Obama will worry about as having been a big blow. I saw McCain winning the debate pretty handily, but I doubt he scored any larger strategic victory.

I think McCain did very well and came across as honest.  It was clear he was answering questions off the cuff.    Obama's replies were scripted, and the reason why he stated numerous times he agreed with McCain was because he did not know the subject material well enough to debate it. 

McCain I believe is holding the Fannie Mae cards against the Democrats for the next debate in which the economy is actually supposed to be discussed (I am pretty disgusted that the weasle PBS hack infused it as often as he could in last night's debate).   

The VP debate should be good.   I can't see Biden avoiding making himself look like a sexist condescending pig.    I predict he will use the word "hon" or something similar at least once when addressing Palin -- and Joe, on your comments last night after the debate in which you boast you have been to the same places McCain has overseas,   McCain wasn't there for the top shelf booze, food and women.   Mmmmkay?

That's funny. True, but funny.

Honestly, after watching the debate I thought Obama did a little better than I expected and McCain didn't do quite as well as I expected. Though I viewed it as close, I still think McCain came out on top.

My wife, on the other hand, says that she thinks McCain crushed him. This is surprising as she is about as apolitical as they come. She said that to her Obama came off looking like someone who didn't know too much and was in over his head while McCain came off as knowledgeable and experienced.

NOT BAD... Obama Only Has 7 Major Flip Flops At First Debate

1.) Barack Obama said he "immediately and forcefully" condemned Russia for invading Georgia.
[youtube=425,350]l93Pd96BL20[/youtube]

Obama is not telling the truth. He did not immediately, forcefully, condemn Russia for invading Georgia.  Not at all.

2.) Obama said Former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger supported his plan to talk with rogue regime leaders without preconditions.
Then Obama tried to parse his words suggesting that "preparations" were the same as "preconditions."  Not true- Henry Kissinger responded immediately after the debate. 

http://www.weeklystandard.com/weblogs/TWSFP/2008/09/tws_exclusive_kissinger_unhapp.asp

3.) Obama said he supported offshore drilling.  During the primary, Obama was against offshore drilling.  In August he said he may change his mind.

http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/08/01/obama-shifts-on-oil-drilling/

4.) Obama said he supported nuclear energy.  Not true- His preconditions make it impossible to expand nuclear energy at this time.

5.) Last night Barack Obama said he was in favor of missile defense systems.
