O: 6yrs ago opposed war, spent over 600B in Iraq, $10B a month in Iraq (b/c of war), borrowing $$$$ from overseas, use military wisely
M:were winning, same strategy will be in Afghanistan

McCain was TEXTING in the mid of Obama speaking and gritting teeth!

O: Rebuild Georgian economy, have to have foresight of problems, Russian/putin feel powerful, using 25% of worlds oil but we only have 3%

What is the likelihood of another 9/11 attack

M: we have a safer nation but far away from safe
O: Safer in some ways, believe we need missle defense, al quada in 60 countries, we are less respected now
M: he keeps saying Obama doesn't get it and doesn't understand

I think that Obama did a great job and that he showed them that he can and did hold his own.

Now lets just see if they decide to even let Palin out of her room and speak for the VP debate lol with Biden Thursday..they won't allow her to talk to the press..huh... wander why??????
