[quote=speedingpullet]Point taken Shadowfax – but if the economy and the effects that a new presidency will have on a whole lot of issues is actually what you want to talk about – why did you put up a youtube clip of Obama stammering at a Town Hall?
You’re right – this will be one of the most important decisions we will make in a generation. If that’s what you really want to talk about, then talk about it.
You didn’t make that very clear by posting a video that has absolutely nothing to do with either candidate’s issues and policies.
Both of them are human – both of them $%ck up.
Its not as if John McCain hasn’t said and done some fairly assinine things this election cycle either.
We could sit here and find appropriate news/video clips of both of them being eejits, and play ‘gotcha’ all day long – but what would be the point?[/quote]
but I didn’t post that link….jfiquette did! I am an Obama supporter and I think the campaign gaffes are beside the point. I care more about what the candidates are offering up as policies and not necessarily their off-the-cuff responses (which I note Bush has been sigularly careful in avoiding with his hand-picked audiences and carefully planted questioners). At least these two candidates can respond somewhat intelligently…
