It was a good debate. Both candidates are ready to step into the office president today. I'm enjoying the debates. This may be the last debate before the convention.

I'm sure the republicans will try to stir up garbage, but Obama and Clinton are very amiable with each other, not the fighting and bitching that would make the republicans happy.

Sorry Hillary. I'm still waiting for an apology from you over the Whitewater papers. Oh and that vast right wing conspiracy comment too. Hillary is elected would not only be the first female US President but also the president most likely to be consistently wrong in her decisions comments and beliefs. You go girl.

"It was a good debate."

Debate? You call that a debate? Maybe if you're used to reading the National Inquirer you might consider that monstrosity a debate.

But if you were looking for a substantive discussion on the issues that concern all Americans such as the economy, oil/gas, foreclosure, the increasing demise of the middle class, the war, health, the environment, etc., then this spectacle of got'cha questioning by these two smug Grand Inquisitors, Charlie Gibson and George Stepanopolis, fell far short of what is expected.

For about the first 50 minutes of the 90+ minute "debate', these two dueling idiots (Gibson & Stephanopolis), chose to harp on diversionary topics. One or two questions (at the most) on "Rev." Wright, the Bosnia/sniper comments, would have been appropriate-enough. But engineering it so that the real issues aren't discussed at any depth or at all, is despicable and at the least, disingenuous on ABC's part.

Gibson & Stephanopolis are not reporters, but are shills of their corporation owners ... in this case, Disney. So, I'm not surprised.

But I am nauseated how low journalism has sunk to placate their corporate owners and anesthetize the American public with cheap shots and diversionary tactics.

But I understand that these "news corporations" may have profit-related concerns and other issues if (cough) one of the two democratic candidates are elected in November.

"I'm sure the republicans will try to stir up garbage"

Heh, it's always the Republicans fault no matter what the dems do. The way barack and hillary have been running their campaigns must be the Republicans fault, too.

Maybe if they had called each other bitch or blacky or spat on each other as they exuded threats of kidnapping and mayhem it would have been a wonderful debate.

But...

I got some answers and I also have some more kwestions that I want answered now. But I liked it.
