Obama said that he agreed with McCain about a dozen times. You are correct that nothing new was said, but I think the point that Obama is not yet ready to lead was pointed out quite clearly.<BR/><BR/>JMJ<BR/><BR/>JoeJoseph Frommhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16759274486679530625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6890895.post-12979771700717400842008-09-27T15:13:00.000-04:002008-09-27T15:13:00.000-04:00You don't have enough medical professionals in you...You don't have enough medical professionals in your family...a centrifuge is a tool used to spin something (i.e. blood), using centrifugal force to separate its ingredients.Vincehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03292799533074446021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6890895.post-42566737790025434502008-09-27T06:58:00.000-04:002008-09-27T06:58:00.000-04:00Thanks, Paul!

I have a couple of comments on your comments:<BR/><BR/><I>Senator McCain: "A lot of us saw this train wreck coming." Really? Too bad more wasn't done about it.</I><BR/>The President and Sen. McCain tried on two occasions (2005 and 2007) to get legislation through that would have reformed Fannie and Freddie, and maybe averted this crisis, but Congressional Dems stopped it both times.<BR/><BR/>I disagree with you regarding how each candidate referred to the other. Calling McCain "John" is too familiar and not respectful. Calling Obama "Senator Obama" is proper and respectful. Younger voters will like the familiarity of Obama, older voters will not like it.<BR/><BR/><I>I think Senator Obama probably wins more votes on this question of meeting with antagonistic foreign leaders</I><BR/>McCain showed that Obama is a lightweight on foreign policy and this just underscored that point. True undecided voters will go towards the experienced adult on this one.<BR/><BR/><I>I hate it when someone calls an opponent naive.</I><BR/>If it quacks like a duck...<BR/><BR/>Paul A.Paul and Heidi Adomshickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07157660519807922162noreply@blogger.com
