McCain: 1, Barack: 0.

Barack Obama, you fucking idiot.

When McCain lies about what your plan is, you don't laugh and say softly "That's not true" and let him keep going.

You fucking call him out. You say the words, "John McCain, you are a liar."

You lost this debate. You lost it because you let him yell over you and you wouldn't talk over him. This was not a time to be polite, you idiot.


And as for myself? I am so angry at John McCain, I am shaking. John McCain doesn't give a flying fuck about the veterans. The fact that he brought them up like that at the end- I cannot handle how angry that made me.

I heard that perception on the radio this morning and I tend to believe it. Living on the Left Coast, we are not designed to think that way. We don't get scared when we see a black man asserting himself. Unfortunately, such is not the case in the rest of the country. People STILL think that way. We haven't come as far was we should, and that's a shame. Obama had to appeal to those white Americans who are scared and want some reassurance. I have a story... this Jewish lady, a friend of my parents, was telling me how scared she was of McCain, but also saying that she was TERRIFIED of Obama. She was not scared because of this perceived lack of experience, but she was scared because of what black people would do should he become president. She actually thought that black people would try to exact revenge for the hundreds of years of oppression. I had to talk her down without calling her a prejudiced cow. It was hard...

As for the debate, I think Obama pulled it off. McCain came off as someone who missed a few meetings of his anger management classes. Smirking, refusing to make eye contact even though that was part of the debate rules...

Obama won, hands down.

I personally can't wait to hear the excuse the McCain campaign will use to stop the VP debate from taking place. If it does take place, it is going to be the single, greatest piece of television in the history of man.

I think that old Jewish lady's grandkids should go watch some Sarah Silverman (NSFW language) regarding just this:

That is AWESOME.

Thanks for sharing it.
