10/07/08 09:06 PM Crazian did obama just say nothing at all
10/07/08 09:06 PM Traip-Gagnon strong oversight, tougher on investors, tougher on CEO's (step 1), middle class tax cuts, help for homeowners, road&bridge projects (hints of FDR?)....thoughts on Obama's "plan"
10/07/08 09:06 PM Coach Stapes Who is here from Northwestern MS
10/07/08 09:06 PM meredith torrey ME!!!
10/07/08 09:06 PM pp8 teddybear eater i ma
10/07/08 09:07 PM Leighferickson the lines went down...
10/07/08 09:07 PM Crazian i would like to hear a plan
10/07/08 09:07 PM Newscaster How are we going to pay for it all?
10/07/08 09:07 PM Crazian buy all the morgages?
10/07/08 09:07 PM CzarNickolas say whaaat?
10/07/08 09:08 PM meredith torrey omg McCain is finaly makeing sence
10/07/08 09:08 PM Traip-Gagnon energy independence, low taxes (all americans), 10 trillion dollar debt, reform package, peace in the world, "doing something" about home values, order secretary of treasury to buy up home morgages
10/07/08 09:08 PM Traip-Gagnon thoughts on either plans?
10/07/08 09:08 PM Leighferickson how?
10/07/08 09:08 PM CzarNickolas yeah mccain's doesnt look like its gonna work.
10/07/08 09:08 PM pp8 teddybear eater that is exactly what we need
10/07/08 09:08 PM Crazian wow
10/07/08 09:08 PM Traip-Gagnon why not?
10/07/08 09:09 PM Traip-Gagnon or....pp8 why is it exactly what we need?
10/07/08 09:09 PM CzarNickolas buying up all mortgages might stabilize the mortgage market but it doesnt mean people are going to buy homes again
10/07/08 09:09 PM pp8 teddybear eater ya
10/07/08 09:09 PM Coach Stapes very true
10/07/08 09:10 PM meredith torrey ya
10/07/08 09:10 PM Newscaster the cost of the homes willl have to deflate to a more realistic value
10/07/08 09:10 PM Newscaster Oooh - did I hear "trickle down?"
10/07/08 09:10 PM Crazian weve heard this
10/07/08 09:10 PM Crazian answer the question
10/07/08 09:10 PM Traip-Gagnon that's a tough question to name a secretary (as the congress has to approve it)...interesting that Obama is attacking early
10/07/08 09:11 PM Crazian he said mccain is right again
10/07/08 09:11 PM meredith torrey this isnt oboma's strong point
10/07/08 09:11 PM Newsbyte Obama named W. Buffet as a name for Treasury Secretary
10/07/08 09:11 PM suzzypoo i think hes doing well so far
10/07/08 09:11 PM pp8 teddybear eater who?
10/07/08 09:11 PM Newscaster Which one Suzy?
10/07/08 09:11 PM suzzypoo obama
10/07/08 09:11 PM thebrokenbox another economic question, wonder where this debate is going.
10/07/08 09:11 PM suzzypoo but mccain wasnt bad either
10/07/08 09:11 PM Traip-Gagnon as a possible name....I wonder if congress would approve Buffett
10/07/08 09:12 PM Traip-Gagnon Darfur hopefully brokenbox :)
10/07/08 09:12 PM Traip-Gagnon first buzz word of the night, mainstreet
10/07/08 09:12 PM CzarNickolas fingers crossed for no "six pack joe"
10/07/08 09:12 PM Traip-Gagnon next up, maverick ;)
10/07/08 09:13 PM thebrokenbox Im hoping to see a few winks come my way.
10/07/08 09:13 PM meredith torrey i know that McCain isnt good at public speaking but he is ruleing this debate
10/07/08 09:13 PM Crazian is that true or stretched?
10/07/08 09:13 PM pp8 teddybear eater he is good at town meetings
10/07/08 09:13 PM Traip-Gagnon this is smart for mccain....to tie Obama (and Democrats) to being in control of congress for the past few years (and currently in control for this crisis)
10/07/08 09:13 PM Newscaster this format - the town hall meeting - is his forte
10/07/08 09:14 PM meredith torrey yah
10/07/08 09:14 PM Traip-Gagnon Obama is taking the time to explain economic terms...might prove to be a good strategy?
10/07/08 09:14 PM thebrokenbox of course it was a good move to tie it to democrats, they are the issue.
10/07/08 09:14 PM CzarNickolas yeah obama might not do so well in this format. he's more of the orator than the conversationalist.
10/07/08 09:14 PM Traip-Gagnon good point nickolas
10/07/08 09:15 PM Traip-Gagnon bokenbox, make a statement, back it up with fact :) them the rules :)
10/07/08 09:15 PM thebrokenbox yeah, obama's strong point is reading speeches.
10/07/08 09:15 PM suzzypoo i think obama will improve as this goes on. he will get the hang of it
10/07/08 09:15 PM jfoye928 can we take that chance?
10/07/08 09:15 PM meredith torrey no he said give me money
10/07/08 09:15 PM suzzypoo at least he can actually say the things he wants to say, unlike palin.
10/07/08 09:15 PM Traip-Gagnon what chance jfoye?
10/07/08 09:15 PM pp8 teddybear eater they act like little kids! they r nagging about eachother and pointin ght finger at the other person just talk abot u god!
10/07/08 09:16 PM meredith torrey he is lecturing him
10/07/08 09:16 PM meredith torrey a lot of leader ship
10/07/08 09:16 PM thebrokenbox lol, I wanted obama to whip out the "the fundamentals of our eceonomy are strong" just then.
10/07/08 09:16 PM Newscaster Which one seems more trustworthy and reassuring to you guys?
10/07/08 09:17 PM Republican4life McCain
10/07/08 09:17 PM pp8 teddybear eater mccain
10/07/08 09:17 PM meredith torrey McCain
10/07/08 09:17 PM Newscaster Why Rep4life and pp8 & torrey?
10/07/08 09:17 PM meredith torrey for once
10/07/08 09:17 PM thebrokenbox yes rep4life!
10/07/08 09:17 PM Crazian mccains answer is def. betteer
10/07/08 09:17 PM LizardKing helloo
10/07/08 09:17 PM CzarNickolas im honestly going to have to say mccain based on that one volley.
10/07/08 09:17 PM suzzypoo obama seems more concerned for the well being of the middle class. and more sincere
10/07/08 09:17 PM Traip-Gagnon ok, so to back up nnewscaster, why?
10/07/08 09:17 PM thebrokenbox ohhh, snap.
10/07/08 09:17 PM meredith torrey because heis geting the point
10/07/08 09:18 PM Republican4life McCain seems to know what he is talking about and sounds reasuring rather than condesending
10/07/08 09:18 PM CzarNickolas he's talking rather than preaching.
10/07/08 09:18 PM Newscaster his ideas or his style?
10/07/08 09:18 PM Crazian i think they both understand they just act differently
10/07/08 09:18 PM CzarNickolas his style definitely.
10/07/08 09:18 PM LizardKing Obama
10/07/08 09:18 PM pp8 teddybear eater mccain has better points obama can just talk better
10/07/08 09:18 PM JakeyJawBreaker uht oh, this woman is not pleased.
10/07/08 09:18 PM Republican4life Oh yeah
10/07/08 09:19 PM Leighferickson no...she looks frustrated.
10/07/08 09:19 PM thebrokenbox that was a prety dumb qustion, honestly, I dont want this whole thing to be about economy.
10/07/08 09:19 PM pp8 teddybear eater sure u do
10/07/08 09:19 PM meredith torrey look? y did he say that?
10/07/08 09:19 PM thebrokenbox lol, blame it on Bush, real cool Obama.
10/07/08 09:19 PM Traip-Gagnon but that's what the voters are most concerned about....just like most of the early primary debates were focusing on Iraq
10/07/08 09:19 PM CzarNickolas ay yi yi... STOP PREACHING!!!
10/07/08 09:19 PM pp8 teddybear eater c pointing the finger!
10/07/08 09:20 PM Leighferickson me neither... i want to hear more about the other issues... i think that people are probably focusing more on the economy
10/07/08 09:20 PM Crazian i go to history class in school how about answering the question
10/07/08 09:20 PM pp8 teddybear eater again!!
10/07/08 09:20 PM CzarNickolas he needs to stop preaching to make this thing work for him.
10/07/08 09:20 PM Newscaster to be fair though - McCain blamed it on the Dems
10/07/08 09:20 PM JakeyJawBreaker true.
10/07/08 09:20 PM thebrokenbox I want an abortion question, that would make my night.
10/07/08 09:20 PM Crazian that would be interesting
10/07/08 09:20 PM Leighferickson yeah, i want to hear one.
10/07/08 09:20 PM meredith torrey he said "look" and he pointed the finger. 2 flaus in that speach
10/07/08 09:20 PM JakeyJawBreaker it is easier to point fingers than to actually give an answer, which is the problem with both sides.
10/07/08 09:21 PM Traip-Gagnon I want any other questions outside of the economy, even just a few....it's tough to get a round idea of the candidates issues
10/07/08 09:21 PM pp8 teddybear eater the econimy is more inportant though
10/07/08 09:21 PM Traip-Gagnon good point jakey
10/07/08 09:21 PM pp8 teddybear eater ya jakey
10/07/08 09:21 PM meredith torrey i agrea
10/07/08 09:21 PM CzarNickolas im tired of the economy. sure, its important, but it isnt everything.
10/07/08 09:21 PM thebrokenbox yes, but they can talk all they want about tax cuts, reform, and other issues, but what does that really show?
10/07/08 09:21 PM Leighferickson exactly.
10/07/08 09:21 PM Traip-Gagnon this would probably be a good point to mention to all of you to check out websites like factcheck.org which will focus on the answers given by the candidates and check them against the facts/records
10/07/08 09:22 PM pp8 teddybear eater it affects everything
10/07/08 09:22 PM jfoye928 why is it libral?
10/07/08 09:22 PM pp8 teddybear eater there we go again!
10/07/08 09:22 PM JakeyJawBreaker haha
10/07/08 09:22 PM pp8 teddybear eater the stupid finger
10/07/08 09:22 PM thebrokenbox I wish there was less mud flying across my screen and more answers.
10/07/08 09:22 PM meredith torrey lol
10/07/08 09:22 PM Traip-Gagnon jfoye, why is what liberal (I missed the statement)
10/07/08 09:22 PM CzarNickolas i agree brokenbox.
10/07/08 09:23 PM jfoye928 somthing about this whole economy problem
10/07/08 09:23 PM jfoye928 how is the problem liberal
10/07/08 09:23 PM Traip-Gagnon it's liberal because McCain is talking, it's the republicans fault if Obama is talking :)
10/07/08 09:23 PM meredith torrey thats powerful
10/07/08 09:23 PM jfoye928 it sounds like when a certian some one rants in class
10/07/08 09:23 PM pp8 teddybear eater right there i toatally agree
10/07/08 09:23 PM jfoye928 that makes sense
10/07/08 09:24 PM Traip-Gagnon in all reality, it's everyones fault...politicians, big business, citizens, etc. etc.
10/07/08 09:24 PM jfoye928 i dont get how the problem can be liberal ofr republican
10/07/08 09:24 PM Newsbyte Health, Energy, Entitlement....
10/07/08 09:24 PM Traip-Gagnon priority question, this should be good
10/07/08 09:24 PM thebrokenbox hes left handed, the only flaw he has.
10/07/08 09:24 PM meredith torrey all improtant
10/07/08 09:24 PM jfoye928 its a problem they both have to deal with
10/07/08 09:24 PM CzarNickolas yeah. america dug itself into a capital hole
10/07/08 09:24 PM pp8 teddybear eater obama looks nervous

10/07/08 09:24 PM jfoye928 even if we do
10/07/08 09:24 PM jfoye928 they're waisting time pointing fingers
10/07/08 09:25 PM CzarNickolas im well aware. i just want to know how and when.
10/07/08 09:25 PM Traip-Gagnon what do you think of mccain saying working on all of them at the same time, rather then prioritizing them as the question asked?
10/07/08 09:25 PM jfoye928 which always seems to be the case
10/07/08 09:25 PM Traip-Gagnon will Obama do the same thing?
10/07/08 09:25 PM CzarNickolas no. he'll learn from the mistake.
10/07/08 09:25 PM Crazian what happend to drilling?
10/07/08 09:25 PM Leighferickson yeah, he's not really answering the question...
10/07/08 09:25 PM thebrokenbox oh man I love McCain, always showing his national pride.
10/07/08 09:25 PM pp8 teddybear eater great speach!
10/07/08 09:25 PM Republican4life He should be nervous
10/07/08 09:25 PM jfoye928 you would think that!
10/07/08 09:25 PM pp8 teddybear eater no ugly old fingers pointing there!
10/07/08 09:25 PM JakeyJawBreaker well leigh, if you think about it, the majority of the time, they never really answer the question.
10/07/08 09:25 PM meredith torrey yah it would be a lot of jobs but a lot of tocik wast
10/07/08 09:25 PM thebrokenbox play by the rules. haha

10/07/08 09:26 PM jfoye928 jk its on the bottom of the screen
10/07/08 09:26 PM Traip-Gagnon prioritizing health care, energy, entitlement
10/07/08 09:26 PM Crazian is mccain off the drilling thing?
10/07/08 09:26 PM CzarNickolas good answer as #1
10/07/08 09:26 PM thebrokenbox is it?

10/07/08 09:26 PM suzzypoo aw no fair its not on the bottom when its a live stream ):
10/07/08 09:26 PM Republican4life So energy?
10/07/08 09:26 PM Newsbyte Obama knew the gas prices in the town they're in, nice.
10/07/08 09:26 PM Republican4life Not realy
10/07/08 09:26 PM pp8 teddybear eater i do not think oil price it the highest "priority"
10/07/08 09:26 PM thebrokenbox so far no, hes pretty unbiased so far.
10/07/08 09:27 PM Traip-Gagnon is obama comparing going to the moon to the energy crisis?
10/07/08 09:27 PM jfoye928 so does he think health care= #1
10/07/08 09:27 PM JakeyJawBreaker haha, i think he is.
10/07/08 09:27 PM Crazian no energy
10/07/08 09:27 PM Newscaster health care was #2
10/07/08 09:27 PM Traip-Gagnon health care is 2 jfoye, energy crisis (and economy) was 1

10/07/08 09:28 PM Traip-Gagnon good question
10/07/08 09:29 PM Traip-Gagnon not necessarily brokenbox, could be a broad answer
10/07/08 09:29 PM thebrokenbox earmarks, what does that mean?
10/07/08 09:29 PM Republican4life See, he is talking about how the war can be fought without costing as much
10/07/08 09:29 PM Crazian overhead projector?
10/07/08 09:29 PM Traip-Gagnon earmarks are what w talked about in class. When those riders are attached to bills

10/07/08 09:29 PM JakeyJawBreaker uht ohh, spending cut. we'll see how that goes.
10/07/08 09:29 PM Traip-Gagnon the earmarks dont necessarily have anything to do with the original law/bill

10/07/08 09:29 PM Leighferickson oh ok
10/07/08 09:30 PM Republican4life Unnecessary spending cuts

10/07/08 09:31 PM Republican4life what is he getting at
10/07/08 09:31 PM jfoye928 doesnt this always happen?
10/07/08 09:31 PM Traip-Gagnon the question was about sacrifice as a country
10/07/08 09:31 PM jfoye928 politics always bring this up to help them
10/07/08 09:31 PM Traip-Gagnon we'll see where he goes with it

10/07/08 09:31 PM Traip-Gagnon why do you think he does that pp8?
10/07/08 09:31 PM suzzypoo it gets his point across
10/07/08 09:31 PM Traip-Gagnon or any politican does it for that matter
10/07/08 09:32 PM Traip-Gagnon ?

10/07/08 09:37 PM Republican4life They should
10/07/08 09:38 PM Newscaster Start with this question Sprite
10/07/08 09:38 PM JakeyJawBreaker they should, but i'm sure there are people who wont.
10/07/08 09:38 PM Traip-Gagnon Sprite, what can we specifically help with?
10/07/08 09:38 PM Newscaster They are about to talk about Social Security
10/07/08 09:38 PM Sprite anything. im so lost. i missed part of it therefor i dont understand the references to the start of the debate and everything after that. i guess im just overall lost because it seems so over my head
10/07/08 09:38 PM Republican4life Obama talks in circles.
10/07/08 09:39 PM JakeyJawBreaker they all seem to talk in circles.
10/07/08 09:39 PM JakeyJawBreaker it's a dog and pony show.
10/07/08 09:39 PM Newscaster Entitlements are the benefits that Americans are entitled to
10/07/08 09:39 PM Newsbyte Circles - like wheels off the bus??
10/07/08 09:39 PM JakeyJawBreaker that's what they do.
10/07/08 09:39 PM LizardKing that straight talker wagon..
10/07/08 09:39 PM Traip-Gagnon It can be confusing Sprite. Sorry it seems like things are going in circles? Is there a specific topic we can help with?
10/07/08 09:39 PM Republican4life No No. Many do but especially Obama
10/07/08 09:40 PM JakeyJawBreaker yeah but i think that you're gonna personally notice the person who you aren't supporting doing it more.
10/07/08 09:40 PM Sprite Right this second not so much cause i think im following a little better now however im sure im gonna have questions
10/07/08 09:40 PM Traip-Gagnon good point Jakey

10/07/08 09:40 PM thebrokenbox all this talk about middle class, what about the lower class? eh?
10/07/08 09:40 PM Republican4life Look, if you raise prices on companies, they raise the prices on their products. Then the consumer pays more anyway
10/07/08 09:40 PM meredith torrey yah i think he's gone
10/07/08 09:41 PM jfoye928 they are very rude

10/07/08 09:42 PM CzarNickolas yeah. brokaws questions are going to waste.
10/07/08 09:42 PM Newscaster It is true though
10/07/08 09:42 PM Republican4life in this case maybe it is.
10/07/08 09:42 PM JakeyJawBreaker well leigh, doesn't that kinda like, get a little more attention from the other party at the same time?
10/07/08 09:42 PM Traip-Gagnon remember, not Brokaw's questions...questions from the people in the crowd & internet
10/07/08 09:42 PM Leighferickson i guess your right

10/07/08 09:52 PM Republican4life never
10/07/08 09:52 PM JakeyJawBreaker that's not okay.
10/07/08 09:52 PM Traip-Gagnon so, do you think they are staying on topic more now? or....drifting further and further away from answering questions with their own original ideas?
10/07/08 09:52 PM LizardKing answer the question!!!
10/07/08 09:53 PM Traip-Gagnon or, are they focusing on targeting the other candidates ideas?
10/07/08 09:53 PM LizardKing targetting
10/07/08 09:53 PM CzarNickolas target
10/07/08 09:53 PM thebrokenbox targeting, Im quite sick of it.
10/07/08 09:53 PM Traip-Gagnon and, is that good or bad in your opinion?
10/07/08 09:53 PM JakeyJawBreaker i feel like they're mostly dancing around nice things they'd LIKE to happen, not so much what they're gonna do, along with half the time targetting.
10/07/08 09:53 PM JakeyJawBreaker and of course pointing.
