Respectfully disagree (5.00 / 2) (#9)

These questions were relative to new flaps since the last debate (an eternity ago). If moderators didn't bring them up, everybody would be asking today how they could have ignored these items. I would have liked more substance, but Wright, Bosnia, "cling", etc. have been what all the news has been about for the last couple of weeks. People may not have liked it or preferred something else, but they would have been excoriated for ignoring the elephant in the room.

It really was a great opportunity. (5.00 / 3) (#14)

A nationally televised debate that will probably be discussed for at least one news cycle?  Coming soon after a troublesome news cycle?

That's the perfect time to lay those issues to rest and replace them with a shiny new sound bite.  Obama should have been ready, eager even.

just isn't that good of a politician.  He's a good illusionist--or his handlers are.  But he isn't good at politics, really.
