Obama does this thing (okay, all politicians do it, but Obama more so) where he'll skirt around a question and then bring up a laundry list of talking points - irrelevant conclusions and red herrings, etc. - such as "restoring America's standing," "bring jobs to middle America," "hope," "change," "si se puede," and so on.
It was especially obvious when he darted the "bitter" comment, clinging to guns...
So I switched back to the channel I was watching previously, only to see my team lose to the White Sox. However, there was a really crazy, dirty, Yankees-Bosux game that went on forever on ESPN.
I'm making a point here - How many Americans - those intent on knowing their politics and those otherwise - actually cared? That debate was super boring and so thick with the sleaze. Those who are already locked into their poison of choice probably weren't gonna switch their support based on that debate. Those who were still undecided probably cared more about A-Rod beating Ted Williams in home runs.
And if you don't like baseball, you're not an American..
One thing I definitely did decide on during the excruciating half-hour I mustered for the debate - all of Hillary's faults are due to her saying what she thinks the public wants to hear. She moved to the center (voted for Iraq) when she was running for Senate, she's moving to the left during these primaries, and I'll suspect she'll move back to the center in the off-chance she becomes President. Inevitably, she does what will get her re-elected.... which is not terribly bad. Kinda lame, but not apocalyptic.
On the other hand, all of Obama's faults are due to him actually believing what he says.
Based on this fundamental difference, I'd rather have Hillary in power than Obama. Somewhere out there, McCain is wondering why the media forgot about him.
And if you don't wear an American Flag pin on your lapel, you're not an American.
