What was that?

I tried, really, to look at last night's debate openly. I really tried. Really. I thought about it some more. Slept on it hoping my original impression would change. But, it didn't.
Obama was not on last night and while he came across as genial and having a grasp of facts, he really did not do anything to land any punches, score points, or do anything to knock McCain off stride.
I hope he does better in the next debate.

NEA President reacts to presidential debate
WASHINGTON, Sept. 27 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Senators John McCain and Barack Obama squared off last night in Mississippi for the first presidential debate. During one segment, the candidates were asked about which priorities they would adjust if elected president in hopes of improving the current economic crisis.
The following can be attributed to NEA President Dennis Van Roekel:
"In the midst of the worst economic crisis America has faced since the Great Depression, Sen. John McCain tonight showed that he still does not understand the needs of working Americans. He still fails to grasp the direct link between a 21st century education system and a robust economy. McCain also showed he cannot relate to educators because he is still proposing a spending freeze, effectively creating a No Child Left Behind funding gap of $15 billion and putting a crunch on millions of special education students, low-income students, children living in poverty and the hiring of future teachers.
"Sen. Obama, on the other hand, understands that all roads to economic security and prosperity go through our public schools. That is why he insists education remain a priority. Obama's plan calls for making college both accessible and affordable, emphasizing math and science to keep America competitive in a changing global economy, and doubling the investment in early childhood education."

Its not a contradiction to say you were disappointed in the debate.
You have an inability to think things through.
If I want to post information that a blogger has stated in an effort to have a conversation/debate about that bloggers beliefs, then I have every right to do so----they put it on the net and it is open for discussion.
and unlike you, I did it in a completely respectful way---with questions----and without making an unjust (like telling them they have an inability to think things through)---personal attack.
Now, I am requesting you to quit stalking me---telling me what I can and cannot blog about, and launching personal attacks.
If others here want to continue to put up with your obsessions, that is fine-
I am at this time, once and for all, respectfully asking you to stay away from MY blogs and comments.
and yes, before you get started, I know that you have every right here to ignore my request.
Since you have been very clear that you do not know one single democrat that is running for office that you can support or believe in----and you have been here for months and have not been able to learn enough to find one yet---
I don't think you could possibly have a purpose here except to continue to divert/disrupt the blogs.
Posting lies and smears about bloggers here, or our party and candidates is now against the rules.
you stated here on this blog as fact that I do not have an ability to think things through.
THAT IS A LIE AND A SMEAR
now shooooo---I am sorry for you but
stay away from me.
And I call bullsh+t. Its apparent you aren't trying to have a dialog with the poster. You are being insulting and trying to make some ridiculous point.
Are you actually saying that you can't be an Obama supporter if you happen to be disappointed in the debate or if you disagree with him on some issues? I truly hope not.
Your so-called respect is transparent for what it really is.
So no lies, no smears.
No Obama did not do a good job last night. If anything he let the door too open for McCain. Sugar coating it won't change that.
was wondering why you posted it there and then posted something I saw that was a difference of your own opinion here?

YOU ONLY MAKE SENSE TO YOURSELF, IF EVEN.
I have a brain. I use it.
if you were looking for that to happen - than perhaps you were "disappointed".
i was looking for the differences to be reflected and i think that was demonstrated.
