      I can see why since Obama's use of reason over shouting made the interviewer look like a fool.

        It was Obama who shouted down Ralston and won out on that. It's Ralston's show. Let's face it, if you love Obama, he can do no wrong. If you just substituted McCain in that interview, same questions, same demeanor, you would be criticizing all McCain said.

          Yes, unfortunately that's the way it works. We've turned politics in this country into one big giant football game where, everyone rally's behind the red team or the blue team without listening to reason. Heaven help us.

          We're a nation of spoiled children who wouldn’t recognize compromise if jumped up and offered us a million bucks. The way politics should work is one side compromise with the other to form the best possible scenario for their constituency. Instead we're forcing these candidates to promise the world and they'll never be able to deliver.

            You came dangerously close to calling us a nation of whiners. Not that I don't agree with you.

      It's such a shame that reporters are always ganging up on the Obamessiah and asking him really hard questions and they're all in league with McCain. LMAO

            There is nothing for Obama to debate the "hypocrite" McCain. McCain has no plans, agenda or knowledge of what has to be done to country's economy, health care and financial mess. All he is doing is to discredit Obama.

            So, there is really nothing to debate.

                    The National priorities you have correct, pc.

                    Your fetishes over Michelle and the cut-and-paste video clips are for you to struggle with together with your shrink.

                    Victor David Hanson!!! Tell us PC, why do you think any patriotic american should listen to an israel-firster like Hanson who just loves killing americans in the mideast for zionist crimes against humanity?

                    Look PC, instead of trying to force feed all the chants of the israel-firsters to real americans, why don't you take some time and start worrying about your own criminals.

                    Israel's front-line thugs

                    Consistent stands against the depravity of the West Bank's lawless settlers are the only way to put an end to their crimes.

                  Of course he doesn't like a debate. He doesn't have anything to say and I'm sure he is tired of sticking his foot in his mouth which seems to be the norm for him.

                        Wonder who will be typing his thoughts on a teleprompter if he is elected? I guess that most of the votes as "present" instead of yea or nay had to be cast while he was waiting for the teleprompter to be typed so he would know how to vote.

                          The man currently in office uses a teleprompter and you all voted for him? McCain uses one too. Why is it a crime for Obama to use one?

                          Obama clearly didn't like being asked certain questions. The typical child like blame game, calling Ralston a proxy for McCain, and acting offended, is something I have noticed about Obama. I guess he is used to the media giving him a pass and now that they are starting to ask the hard questions he doesn't like it. The answer about why he voted for oil company subsidies was a typical political answer because so many bills are not clear cut but have attachments and compromises. So the politician can say he was for this part of it and against that part of it, McCain, on the same bill was clear. He voted against it because it gave subsidies to big oil.

                            McCain like Bob Dole looks rather Foolish debating the Character of Obama....

                            McCain's claim to fame was being a member of the Keating five Savings and Loan Fraud that Cost Americans Taxpayers Millions of Hard Earned Tax Dollars....

                            McCaine a 26 Year lifer in Washington has Done NOTHING to improve the lives of Americans. McCain is married to a very wealthy White woman who (budwizer) some may suggust she landed a trophy Senator no matter what he looks like as a man???

                            Just like the ketchup Lady Hinze Kerry these women only want the Washington lifestyle and prestaige of bieng the wife of a senator, eventhough most americans believe they are the most Corrupt Pigs in America....

                            McCain is a perfect example of a senator who talks a lot but does Nothing for Americans.
                            McCain on Immagration is a major JOKE... He does not seem to be concerned about American Jobs going out of this country....

                            McCain's state of Arizonia is a disgrace on iLlegel immagration, this idiot is more than a JOKE...

                            Perhaps McCain's age and confinement may be the reason he does not use Common sense in major Issues...

                            Bomb, Bomb, Bomb, Bomb, Bomb Iraq, his words seems that mabe McCain needs some serious mental Health Examinations....

                            Commender In Chief, mcCain is Un qualified and dengerious.....

                              in the service, where you learn to
                              hold your tongue and speak when
                              needed, not like the other candidate

                              enough to answer a question correctly.

                                McCain says little because he has NO IDEA what to say. The poor feeble guy is clueless.
