Debate: Obama dodged his questions with litanies; Clinton seemed cool, fair, and stalwart
My headline says it all.
He redirected nearly every question into a litany of reasons that America is in bad shape. He went ON and ON and ON. If tries to do this in a General Election process, the Republicans are going to NAIL him for endless talk.
I can hear the conservative pundits now:
"If I have to listen to Barack Oblahblahma say another word I am going to poke holes in my eardrums."
Obama supporters are already blaming the moderators. Why? Because
someone finally tried to stop Obama from dodging tough questions.
Stephanopolous held Clinton to answer the one question she started dodging,
but Obama kept trying over and over and over.
Obama was a mess tonight. I actually was starting to get a little worried for Clinton. I'm fine now.

A fine example of an asshole, you mean?
I suppose you are.

Boy, the Obamabots are having a tough time with this eh?
Sounds like displaced anger to me... And as usual, with displaced anger, you're so angry and stuck in your beliefs that you don't even realize you are displacing the anger.

I'm a big O guy, but I kind of agree. Hillary was at her best, and Obama was at his worst tonight.
Fortunately for our side, the moderation was so surpassingly execrable that it pretty much swamped the differences between the candidates.

Hillary looked like a champion tonight, are you kidding??
She spieled her spiel and spieled some more, all the while looking no one in the eye.

YAY Hillary!!!! You GO, girl!

She was looking the audience all around her in the eye.

Really? To me, it looked like she was looking for snipers.

This observation is a good example of not eating mushrooms on your pizza before watching a debate...

Ummm...Yeah...Okay
If you call admitting she LIED a good thing, or the fact that the debate concentrated NOT on her strengths, but petty differences...
Then your point is conceded!

Left: "the Republicans are going to NAIL him for endless talk"?
Really?
Are you serious? You're worried about the mean Republicans skewering the Democratic nominee because they're speaking to much? In a race for President of the United States of America your worried the candidate talks too much... Wow.
Really?
