Just saying hello to you all .. Still a bit confused about the goings on here, but I guess I’ll keep poking around.

Where, in America, is $150,000 a year mean you are rich. i heard last night that his, Obama, number for ‘rich’ has been coming down since 2004 or so. On this particular intrview I saw the figure was in the low $200’s.

Ross,

It’s hard to take you seriously when you use the name of Jesus and the f-bomb in the same comment — your first comment about this post — which, by the way, I deleted.

Keep your language clean, and I’ll continue to allow you to post your comments, whether they be worthwhile thoughts or not.

Also, what would Jesus care more about? Unborn babies and gay marriage, or wars that kill millions of civilians and cost billions of dollars, government corruption, the environment.

He’s the prince of peace. He’d probably worry about more pressing matters at hand.

Recovering Republican….how can anyone ‘regurgitate what the audience wanted to hear’ when he knows that CNN and FOX are covering it live AND the national and international media will be ALL OVER IT? (Germany’s media raved about McCain and how much better he seemed than Obama, by the way…they also skewered the Berlin performance after the emotion of the first few days was over but our media neglected to tell us that)
You don’t pander to an audience in the room when the world’s going to hear!
McCain told his truth…….Obama’s truth is “America last”……..Tell me one time when you’ve felt Obama is glowingly appreciative and positive about anything America. Good luck.

I came over from the link that Always left. I think your analysis is right on!

I found myself very proud of McCain while watching this debate at Saddleback Church. I was of the mind that I would vote for him because to not vote would be a vote for Obama. Now I feel like I can vote for him and be happy to do so. You are right, his answers were succint and immediate. He didn’t have to hedge or think about his answers. He knows who he is and he is a proven patriot, unlike Obama. Thanks for a very good analysis!
