please do not live in denial...Obama once again falls short
This is not a new issue, but it is one that has been allowed to linger, for what reason I cannot imagine.
Senator Obama is eloquent, we saw that several years ago, and he has only gotten better.
But, in debate formats, or in formats not within his control, he simply underperforms.
This has been blamed on the media, how unfair ABC was, it has been blamed on horrid mind games of intimidation and brass knuckle politics by the Clintons, or on any number of scape goats.
Senator Obama, if he wants to be President, he needs to put some time in studing the great debates of generations past, get up to speed, understand your audience.
How, how can I listen to talking heads give the thumbs up to McCain?
The issues are with Obama, the need for change is palpable, but these debate confrontations are only going to get more pointed and more heated....standing pat is no alternative.
I have gone from disappointed Clinton supporter to one who vows to vote for Obama, but then I live in SC and a poll in our local paper yesterday cited a poll giving McCain a double digit lead, with only 15% of whites indicated as being Obama supporters.
Due to racism in good measure, along with good, old fashioned fear of the unknown, this will be a close election, Obama needs to find a way to up his game in debates, he does not need to give anyone an excuse to not vote for him, he cannot afford it.
If I were him I would study Bill Clinton in his 1990 debate in the town hall meeting, try to learn, its not a sign of weakness.
do not make excuses for Obama, expect and demand he do better, he cannot afford to be cool when it comes to that hot medium
