Barack Obama On The Strength Of Negotiating

One of the clearest policy -- and personality -- contrasts in the debate came when Barack Obama and John McCain discussed the issue of negotiating with other nations.

After McCain attacked him (angrily) for being open to negotiations, Barack Obama explained why negotiating is actually puts the United States in a stronger position, and why McCain's view is actually weak.

As he wrapped up his answer, Obama also hit McCain's refusal to commit to meeting with Spain -- a NATO ally.

Senator McCain: I think that it was very distasteful that you did not once look at Obama during your debate.

[schatsie]

McCain was out classed and you could see if from his responses to what Barack was saying...H­owever Barack almost sounds like Kerry and we all know where that went...

[McChimp]

unlike Kerry, Barack fought back and called McCain out for much of his rhetoric

McCain was spinning like a top

Geez whats wrong with McSame? He cant even keep still.

[Krikkit]

What's wrong is the man was steaming mad, incoherent and weak on everything from facts to rhetoric. I mean the man had to keep returning to summoning the ghost of Reagan just to find some place to stand.

That moment was one of my favorites of the debate. There is nothing mcBlunder could say in response to O bama's comment because every possible explanation for his Spain gaffe makes him look and sound like an idiot or suffering from early onset dementia.

Obama WAS SOLID in EVERY RESPECT!

Lets Remember: McFlipFlop

Pat Buchanan calls him "HOT HEADED"
He calls himself a "GAMBLER"
We know he loves "WAR"
We see he is a "FLIPFLOPPER"
He likes to "GAME the AMERICAN PEOPLE"
Prefers "LOOKS over SUBSTANCE" Palin
Indecisive about most EVERYTHING

Do we want a GAMBLING, HOTHEADED trigger finger, WAR LOVING, FLIPFLOPPER, who likes GAMING the system and the AMERICAN PEOPLE to be in control of the President's BUTTONS?

McFlipFlop (Just a FEW!)

For bombing Iran -- now not so sure
Against regulation -- for regulation
Not so good at economics -- I never said I economics wasn't my strong suit
Against veterans benefits -- for veterans benefits while suspending spending on anything else.
