Presidential Debate Liveblog pt. 1

8:03 Obama contrasts Wall Street and Main street - nice rhetoric, and I appreciate that shift in emphasis.

8:05 McCain, shut the hell up about Kennedy. Crocodile tears, man.

8:06 republicans and democrats working together on the economy?!?! Not from what I hear! The repubs are being slimeballs, and refusing to negotiate, and shut up McCain.

8:08 economic scare tactics from McCain, foreign oil, code for terrorists, yadda yadda.

8:09 Mmm-mmm. Obama just pretty much slammed lassez-faire capitalism. Thank you, baby, keep it up. Bring us that socialist revolution! god knows we need it. Ug, McCain comes back with military history. Nice appeal to suffering citizens, man. Normandy?

8:11 Obama: many people were suffering before the crash. Whoo! God, I could listen to this man talk all day.

8:42 Oh my god, McCain, shut the fuck up.

8:44 Obama goes to the core issue, props to Biden, props to Petraeus?!?! Come on, man. But now he's going back to the beginning of the war, the weapons of mass destruction, greeted as liberators.

8:45 McCain is being patronizing - I'm afraid senator Obama doesn't understand. Comes off as kinda racist, monumentally stupid, because Obama's obviously no dummy. Talking down to him just makes McCain look small.

8:46 I am a bit worried that McCain's being so much more specific on war stuff. Middle America looooves its military puffery, and he's actually playing into that pretty well.

8:49 Aaaaand we have Osama Bin Laden! Thanks, Johnny.
