and I have noticed that he is starting a lot of sentences with, "understand that . . . . ", and then goes on to basically confuse whatever point that he may have just inadvertently made with any clarity at all.

"understand that . . . " is going to get old very quickly if he keeps this up.  I haven't noticed this habit of speech before tonight, but it is jumping out  at me in this debate.

I missed the first part of the debate, and the rebroadcast doesn't air until midnight, but I was surfing for
debate discussion, and ran across this quote:
Quote
    OBAMA: You know, I've heard from an Army captain who was the head of a
    rifle platoon — supposed to have 39 men in a rifle platoon.  Ended up
    being sent to Afghanistan with 24 because 15 of those soldiers had been
    sent to Iraq. 

    And as a consequence, they didn't have enough ammunition,
    they didn't have enough Humvees.  They were actually capturing Taliban
    weapons, because it was easier to get Taliban weapons than it was for
    them to get properly equipped by our current commander in chief. 

did The BarackStar! actually say that?


Yes, he did...and people are jumping all over it....

it's ironic that hillary is getting killed by this guy.  it's a given that she is completely wrong on the issues, she at least knows the issues inside and out;  he clearly does not.  The BarackStar! is much better on the stump, where he can read his (mostly stolen) poetry, than on the debate stage, where he really does need to say something with some substance to it, but can't.





His speeches sound like Rush's parodies:"The future is in the future and not in the past. The past was back before but now we can see the future is not here yet." "Hope is hopeful so we all need to hope hope will continue to be hopeful."

The man is a waking collection of platitudes.

Rush was all over that today.  Hell, he even put Bo Snerdley on the air and let him have the show for a while.  They were not pleased.

That was hilarious! And every time he had a criticism of Barrock, he had to call Bo back to the mike.

Another Democratic debate tonight @ 9PM EST in Ohio.

The last one was a laugh riot.  I'm going to see if I can find an audio stream for MSNBC.

I think American Idol is on tonight and I think the banter between Paula and Simon is of a higher quality than hussein and satan.
