~Obama 3 McCain 0

I felt the same way. The way he says "that one" is so disrespectful. That really made him look like the fool. He is getting old, and i think he is forgetting things everyday.

thank you for your response Cobrateacher, now I'm just waiting for the nay sayers and the negatives on Obama...watch, it's coming, guaranteed!! ~G~

I'd say YOU are confused! OBAMA, NOT McCain, has been saying again and again that McCain voted with Bush more than anyone. It was McCain who has said again and again, I've been with Bush on some things, and have NOT hesitated to go against him as well. McCain didn't change. He just made the same point he's always made... he is NOT a continuation of Bush. If you don't understand that it is a TACTIC by Obama to keep bringing up Bush, you are more confused than just on who said what. I've never understood the problem with his saying "that one". It's an old colloquialism, that's all (and it's not a negative one either). How about when Obama states in each debate that he has to correct McCain's facts, and then says, what's new, or no surprise there. You don't call THAT offensive tho, do you?

Obama is the great interrupter! He cut McCain off when McCain had just begun to explain his health care plan. McCain mentioned one part of Obama's, and Obama just jumped in, and said, no let me say this, and then went on to explain his whole health care plan, THEN went on to "explain" his version of what McCain's plan is. Then when McCain got a chance to speak again, the moderator cut him short and said they have to move on. Obama interrupted even more in the other two debates. His "plans" and "answers" are the same ones he's always had. But they are NOT good for US.

Hi my friend, thanks for the response. I am soooooooooo glad that someone agrees with me that Obama won all 3 debates!! Now let's see him in the White House...is that a coincidence or what? An African American man in the White House...I love it!! ~G~ *NOTE: Please don't anyone get me wrong...his skin color is not, repeat, NOT what I look at in my choice, it's the content of his words, his demeaner, his coolness, his calm nature...Yes, yes, we need Obama to be our President!! ~G~

All the networks and both candidates' sites are offering transcripts and videos of the debates. Perhaps you could benefit from checking on them. If you look again, you're sure to see the many errors in your posts.

It's been mentioned several times since last night's debate that neither McCain nor Palin ever uttered the words "middle class" once in all the debate. We don't matter to them at all, it's just the same old trickle down theory that doesn't work. Annie

No, McCain and Bush aren't QUITE identical but they're close enough for me to know I sure don't want McCain in the White House and I SURE don't want Palin anywhere close to Washington. Annie

If they're not alike, why would McCain be so proud of having voted with Bush more than anyone else in the legislature? If you don't want to bother with fac-checking, re-run some of his commercials, or read the junkmail he keeps sending out. It's all there.

Sorry, gwoman, bur facts are out of date. Those teachers are almost entirely gone. To be perfectly honest, though, the accountability that got rid of them has gone so far that now the best of the best are being driven out. In my department meeting after school this week, we added up the extra hours required by paperwork to "prove" that we do what we do, and each teacher is adding more than a dozen hours a week, along with a reduction in pay. Can't they just walk into the classroom if they wonder whether we're doing what we're supposed to do? As of 2009, they've thrown out academic freedom entirely, and we're each told exactly what we must teach, how, and when It will, I predict, be a disaster. My classes are the same subject, but I can't teach any two the same way or at the same time, because of the personalities that make up each period. Some need more time on one thing, some on another. Now that time is not being allowed. The kids who get lost will drop out (I teach high school seniors so they're old enough for that option), and some very important material is being dumped. We're being required to teach to the state test, even though kids can't be seniors if they can't pass the test. so they have no need to do that. Every state now has tests that are not only difficult; they're poorly written in order to let as few as possible pass without a number of re-takes. Kids that can't pass them, as in being fully literate, etc., can't ever get a diploma!

Oops--almost forgot to mention that the majority of charter schools throughout the country are failing, and being closed down.

Hi Mcat19, on the school thing...both candidates are missing one very important issue...Obama came close but not close enough...the most important thing in our school systems today is the fact that we have too many "teachers" who actually don't care about the education of our students...this is the reason that there are soooooooooo many students that graduate with a cap, gown, and a diploma and cannot even read!! We need more caring teachers so that if a child is not meeting his or her grade levels that child should be held back. I am steaming over the fact that my youngest graduated and couldn't even pass the college entrance exam...UGH...and believe me when I say it was not because of a lack of parent involvement and help, I was with her all the way and I still am and will be always. Thanks for your response. ~G~

I don't know where you are, or if you saw the debates, but Obama wants to leave Iraq quicker, and by announcing to our enemies WHEN we will leave, so they can be ready to do whatever they want. BUT he doesn't want to stop fighting; he wants to put more troops in Afghanistan, he's talked about invading Pakistan, etc.

He was on top of looking like an ornery old man for sure!

What did you think he was "On top of"? besides making faces and rolling his eyes? He sure does have those things down pat...lol! Annie

He was on top of what should have embarrassed every backer he's ever had!

Oh thank you, thank you CherylsPearls, who knows yours may be the deciding vote!! How come voting starts so early there? Just curious...I thought it was a national thing:-( I wish I could vote today although it doesn't matter, my vote for Obama is guaranteed!! ~G~

Hi Platinum601, from your little fingers typing away to God's ears!! Thanks for the response, I do hope and pray that Obama will be our next President!! ~G~
