I never said anything about Obama's race. Just pointing out that McCain implied that the gentleman who posed the question about Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, hadn't ever heard of it until now. And that the man that asked that particular question... happened to be black, that's all. I just found that to be an insert foot into mouth situation, that's all.

Yes, Obama does have a plan for healthcare and yes, he also has a plan of action for taxation (which hasn't changed 3 times) it's actually clear and concise. His foreign policy, and plan for the economy were also detailed. It's so strange to me how biased (we ALL are I suppose) when it comes to interpreting the debate. I saw Obama as direct and straight forward, answering each topic with empathy, detail and integrity toward whomever asked. He did go over in their one minute allowance. He did even want to have an additional rebuttal here and there. He obviously felt the need to straighten out the inaccurate info thrown by McCain. I also saw McCain reacting the entire night, skate around topics, and contradict himself. He even basically called a black man stupid, which somehow went un-noticed. Remember the question about Fannie and Freddie? McCain's response to this individual was, '...if you hadn't of heard of our recent economic hardship, you probably haven't ever heard of Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac...' Not a great choice of words in my opinion. Nor was his pick for vice:) Then, my favorite McCainism was his POOR attempt of kissing up to Brokaw, and the audience. Now, if you think more of the same (voted 90% with Bush) is a GOOD idea, then luckily...America...land of the free allows me to think differently!

VSU- It's not a pipe, it's a water bong. Sorry, but he said 7 at first, but maybe he just had a senior moment. I can forgive honest mistakes. Mistakes, but not your version of what Obama's plans for taxation are. Sounds like you are well versed in the Republican ways of lying/ stretching the truth/ talking out of your ass! Maybe during the 3rd and FINAL DEBATE you will open your ears and listen to his plan. (Although I know it's not true) I actually hope you DO make over $250K a year- so that for the next 8 years you can be the one who's getting screwed. Obama realizes that what this country needs and depends on, are your average, middle class Americans. He'll build it from the ground up again, which is ALMOST impossible based on the horrific last 8 years.
Just a couple of questions to anyone undecided... or those ignorant enough to be voting for McCain/Palin.
HOW DOES HE PLAN ON FUNDING: #1) A mortgage relief effort by 'buying up the loans about to hit foreclosure,' #2) Giving Americans a tax refund of $7K (just 12 days ago he said it would be $5K) to buy our own health insurance, ALL WHILE SPENDING RIDICULOUS MONEY TO CONTINUE TO FIGHT A WAR WE NEVER BELONGED IN??? As Palin says, "Gotcha!"
I don't want to speak for BUCK, even if I assume that we are on the same page.... YES, I do want to vote for someone who gives a woman the right to choose. So do you, you just fail to see why!!!! I'm of course basing that on the past few days worth of posts between us. You don't stand for universal health care. You don't stand for any of your tax dollars going to help the less fortunate. So your are pro-choice, you just don't even know it. You don't want to pay for anyone else's "mistakes," yet you don't give the woman the right to tell you before she births the child, that it even is a mistake. So which is it, you hypocrite!!!??
