Obama's stuttering in debate...Why

[spookyturtle 9,466]

Let's face it, if he did Obama would never have any time at all to make his his case...... McCain dwarfs Obama in experience...period!

Very true. Even if you are an Obama supporter, you cannot even begin to compare their experience. McCain has decdades of experience, Obama doesn't. Obama has 4 years of campaign talk on his resume, with very little action. Fact.

[one...two...tree 2,762]

Sure he's got a record. His platform for his run for the White House, however, has nothing to do with his record. It's a polar opposite. Chew on that.

Perhaps being able to change with the times and for what is better for the country isn't all bad. Unlike Bush who has steered a straight course down a winding road. I like to think that a good politician can change his mind when something isn't working and a better way to do it becomes apparent, be it Obama or McCain. Obama has no record, only talk. Can he make the talk reality? That remains to be seen.

I agree with the first part, so long as the politician can give a convincing reason why they changed their mind. So far, McCain hasn't been very convincing as to why he's changed his mind on a lot of key issues. As for Obama not having a record....what are you talking about? He has a solid record, however, he hasn't made Washington his home for 24 years like McCain has. Some find that more appealing...it's the outsider (Obama) vs. the insider (McCain).

I agree that some do find that appealing, I do myself at times. But the problems we are facing are huge, home and abroad. We are limited to two choices for President. Age and experience by a candidate who's party isn't in good standing with America's and the world opinion, or youth and talk of change by a inexperienced candidtate. I think the election is Obama's to lose. America will be taking a chance either way.

LOL...sorry but that rhetoric gets spewed out over and over ad nauseum...no sh!t we're taking a chance. You think anyone made that an issue with Dubbya? And look what a wonderful chance he's turn out to be.

This election is about two fundamentally different ideas of which direction this country should be going. McCain, although tries to sell himself as a maverick, has supported Bush's failed policies over 90 percent of the time. Obama isn't some baby deer that wondered out of the forest. He's an incredibly bright and knowledgable candidate with a record for those who care to look at it. On the most fundamental level, this election is a no-brainer - you either want to continue the direction we're going or you're ready for a change in direction. All talk of experience vs. inexperience, or who's pastor said what, VP's having babies....it's all a distraction from that fundamental aspect of this election.

I have heard about this record that Obama has to look at. Please post some links that clearly show his record. I once looked and never saw any legislation he has ever started. Also his record that I saw was mostly invisible. Please enlighten.

Also the consensus from both parties has been he has little baggage because of his lack of record and he has "IDEAS" though.

I wish more thought would be made by Obama on his tax revisions. He hasn't played his propsal all the way through, and recognised the real impact of increased taxation of the top tier. He would quickly realise that the average "Joe" might not just be paying less tax, he might very well be paying no tax!

Let's see....McCain supported 90% of Bush's policies, and Obama 60%. Bear in mind, however that this 60% came from someone across the aisle!

Man, I try and give you the benefit of the doubt, but you can not seriously say you've looked for legislation that Obama has created, when it is plastered all over the internet, and even at the Congress' own webpage:

Legislation he "started":

http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/?&am...LD(FLD008+(m)))

http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/?&am...LD(FLD008+(m)))

http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/?&am...LD(FLD008+(m)))

http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/?&am...LD(FLD008+(m)))

This doesn't even include bills he co-sponsored. These are all ones he made himself.

Then here's his voting record:

Enjoy. Took me 3 minutes.

Ideas?

That's not stuttering...it's stammering and they both do it. Most people do. Do you judge people who stutter or stammer?

Yes I do. I think they're generally stupid and unable to coherently get their point across. Is this not what you think?

Just a suggestion, but you might want to proofread your signature before calling ANYONE else stupid. Hypocrite has an "e."

[luckytxn 2,265]

Already looked at his sorry voting record.

I like that he sponsored so much important legislation.

I see my point was lost on you.

Get a brain, moran. Kaydee can clearly speak better than the hippocrats.

So I take it you don't like crow?

I had expected better from you than to take the low road.

McCain is the more experienced candidate across the board - period. I am certainly not questioning Obama's level of intelligence, but a reasonable IQ does not a good President make. Experience is not a distraction from the fundamental aspect of this election, and neither are the issues that have been raised along the way including Obama's relationship with known racist Jeremiah Wright, his land deal with Tony Rezko, and his relationship with self declared terrorist William Ayers. These are all extremely worrying and disturbing facts. Personally I would prefer a president who fought and suffered for his country, and who's running mate has a pregnant teenage daughter. No comparison really.

Good links. I'll give them a read.

[luckytxn 2,265]

Not sure what crow to eat but just wanted the one that said to look at Obamas record to say why we needed to vote for him because of what I read before of his record.

Like I said it may have gone over your head but that is ok.

That's it? That's the record that's propelled him as a presidential candidate?
