Obama vs McCain Round 3 — I am not President Bush

At last night’s debate, Sen. John McCain thought he slammed Sen. Barack Obama when he said “I am not President Bush, if you wanted to run against President Bush you should have run four years ago”. Ooooooh! You really told him Sen. McCain. Well leave it to Obama and his campaign to take said slam and throw it back in his face. Check out this video:

Love it! By the way CNN, FOX, and CBS all report viewers though Obama won. Less than 20 days to go. Let’s get it! YES WE CAN!!!

"That One"

The 2008 version of “You People”. Has it really come to this? Sen. John McCain couldn’t even refer to Sen. Barack Obama as person, as a man, instead he’s a ‘That’. A thing, an object. Sen. McCain dislike (or is it disdain?) for Sen. Obama was more than obvious! Maybe I’m being overly
sensitive? But with Tina Fey Gov. Palin’s borderline racist attacks against Sen. Obama, McCain/Palin surrogates oh so subtle reminders of Barack’s middle name (Hussein) and supporters screaming ‘terrorist’ and ‘kill him’ at their campaign rallies, I think I am justified in believing the ‘that one’ comment was more than Sen. McCain just condescending and sarcarstic.

What’s McCain gonna do at the last debate? Call him ‘boy’? Too obvious? How bout ‘uppity’. Its been used before by a McCain supporter. It is amazing to me just how nasty the McCain campaign has become. And just I love the coded language McCain and Palin have been using.

“I am just so fearful that this is not a man who sees America the way you and I see America.” Palin has said.

In other words he’s not like you and me — you know, white. Keith Olbermann referred to this in his special comment Monday night saying,”it’s a nifty trick to remind the white folk that (psst) Obama is black.”

But it doesn’t seem to be working. After last night’s debate, the polls from the various networks — NBC, CBS, CNN, and even FOX News (they didn’t cook the numbers??? Truly a sign of the Apocalypse) — the American people have said Sen. Obama won the debate in a format that was suppose to be in Sen. McCain’s favor. Heck even some Republican’s are calling it for Obama, including Bill “I’m a Gambler” Bennett.

“I confess I so much admire McCain, but I just don’t think the campaign is equal to the story,’ he said. “I just don’t think it’s equal to the man, it hasn’t been. … We needed a breakthrough, talking about the economy. I think he was a little better than last time, but he didn’t break through enough, and he’s behind. So it just wasn’t good enough for McCain in terms of what it had to be.”

Ouch.

So much for the race baiting Sen. McCain, it looks like ‘that one’ won the debate.
