With all due respect I completely and absolutely disagree with this statement.

 

Obama speaks with power, and a youthful zeal, which makes him evry fun to listen to, but he is FAR from beign superb. He has repeatedly stumbled over himself, made critical oversights, and when he was positioned firmly to completely shut the door on Clinton's chances with a debate established, isntead clinton dominated the debate allowing us to still be in the long drawn out process that we are still in today. Just because someone stands for something that is "unpopular" does not mean they will get toasted in a debate, it just means that certain people are slanted enough to crown Obama the "Debate King" if he simply says what the viewer has established as their viewpoint. I have more respect for the candidate who can stand strong and make valid points over a subject that they have never waivered on, rather than a candidate who moves his viewpoint simply towards what his party wants, whether he fels that way or not.

 

Which debate are you referring to?

Which debate are you referring to?

 

The last one he had against Clinton.... the last one he would have against Clinton

The last one he had against Clinton.... the last one he would have against Clinton

 

The ABC News debate in Philadelphia conducted by Charlie Gibson and George Stephanopoulos?

Guys you forget, Obama says they were picking on him in the debate...............

I do have one question....Can someone please tell me what a "community organizer" is...

A community organizer is a person who works with a group or organization to bring people together for a common cause. Some of these causes could be voter registration, car pooling, job fairs and things like that.

1. For McCain this is a political move. Yes, he has been very supportive of the troops due to his background. However, this was politically motivated. The only way I think Obama looks foolish if is he doesn't go. I think it is a very astute move, which turns into a win/win for both sides if Obama goes. If he doesn't go, McCain gets a boost.

 

2. Obama is an energetic, youthful public speaker. However, he seems soft on facts and Hillary did beat him in their last debate. I don't think he is a great debator. He compared his foreign policies to Kennedy and Reagan. Wow. Those are some big shoes to fill and I am not sure if any of our candidates are up to that task.

Well, when the questions are like, "Have you stopped beating your wife"................

I agree on both points. McCain's challenge was well played and Obama missed an opportunity by turning it down. Obama has also improved his debate performance through this primary season, but he is still far from a great debater. I think Clinton regularly outperformed him.

So this is a mind reading post?

I am not sure from where you drew your conclusion, Obama did not have access to any classified intelligence and he was serving a different constituency when he took a position against the Iraq War. Had he been in the US Senate, having been elected by the people of the state of Illinois and not the residents of south Chicago, I am not sure how he would have voted on the issue. (I do not need to be a mind reader to know that of which I am and am not sure.)

 

However, Obama is the most liberal Democrat in the Senate, and people to his political right such as Ted Kennedy, Bernie Sanders, and Dick Durban voted against the resolution, so most likely he also would have opposed the war regardless of what information had been available to him.

I agree. Obama has shown a talent for making the right move and I don't see how going over would make him look foolish. His major plus is that he's seen as being different than the same old politicians. He can get away with saying "you're right, I need to get over there to assess the situation first hand".
