Comments on: Obama Won The Debate http://www.delawareliberal.net/2008/10/07/obama-won-the-debate/ Ground zero for all things political in Delaware Thu, 09 Feb 2012 18:23:16 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: Bob S. http://www.delawareliberal.net/2008/10/07/obama-won-the-debate/#comment-67856 Bob S. Wed, 08 Oct 2008 22:41:03 +0000 http://www.delawareliberal.net/?p=6876#comment-67856 The idea of a smaller government and less spending is of course….a foreign concept to you. Chris - I really don't see McCain as the guy to bring about small government and fiscal conservatism. That said, with Obama and a Dem Congress in power I know exactly where we'll be headed as far as government spending and expansion are concerned. And yes, Obama won this debate. He told some boldfaced lies, but he still won hands down. McCain should have stuck with a traditional debate format rather than this townhall thing he's been asking to do the whole campaign. He looked really bad, stumbling and unsure of himself in this townhall format. The idea of a smaller government and less spending is of course….a foreign concept to you.

You want fries w/ dat? Your candidate is still dreaming, and writing sonnets. He needs to move on from creative writing class, and draft an executive summary.

As of th first of this October it is 10 trillion. The repub charge card is now maxed out. Maxed Out. Even the Chinese who have been funding us for the past years are balking at more lending. We have the largest expansion of government in my memory. Any repub who thinks that they are standing up for fiscal responsibility and smaller government <i>now</i> is a Clown. Where were you when Bush was partying hard with our money? When Bush came into office the debt was 5 trillion. As of th first of this October it is 10 trillion.

What percentage of the GDP was contributed by internet companies during Clinton? Very little, actually. But expecting you to understand something like that is a bit much. And you can't answer my question from #39. You are a fraud. I didn’t miss anything, Chris. What percentage of the GDP was contributed by internet companies during Clinton? Very little, actually.

But it was pretty clear that Obama handed McCain his hat, showed him the door and sent him on his way. The AIG remark got him off to a great start and the rest just flowed from there. He played it too cool for school, while McCain was all over the place - angry and reeking with contempt. The bitch-clap of the evening happened when Obama set McCain up by saying that McCain's perceived to be serious (McCain: "Thank You"), then SMACK..."but he wants to annihilate North Korea and sings songs about "Bomb, Bomb Iran". It was a complete death-blow to McCain and his faux perception of being a serious leader. The only one who looked serious, aka presidential, was Obama.....especially in these times.
