DeBAIT Dos
I have been watching the pre-debate televised coverage on C-Span and will continue, hoping to offer a comment on two while in progress.
Given the atmosphere of attacks that is heating up the media on all fronts, this debate should produce some improvement for ninety-minutes or so we can hope.
Right now there are just explanatory remarks by the C-Span moderator. The coin toss for going first went to Obama, that is good, perhaps he can set a tone that will provide elevation of this above the level of mudslinging we have seen this week, especially Sarah Palin's inciting remarks that has resulted in federal agents trying to find who inserted an unmentionable remark at one of her Florida events.
Two and a half minutes and holding........
The setting is a raised chair type stool by a small round table. This is to McCain's benefit and his Napoleonic stature, over which he as always had great sensitivity.
Holding ........
It will be interesting as to how amiable the handshake will be.
If I had been slammed like they have Obama, I wouldn't shake McCain's hand.
Brokaw now speaking, explaining format etc.
The candidates are introduced. Handshake not effusive.
Obama rises to take first question from gentleman, Alan someone.
Answer goes right to placing blame for current economic crisis on past eight years and McCain's support of it.
Question was on what is the rastest way to help people in these economic conditions?
McCain spins it into saying his anwer and plan is energy independence and no further taxing.
M. declares he knows how to do it........(if so, why hasn't he done so in twenty-five years?)
New Question: Who would be your Treasury Secretary?
He addresses his answer more to Brokaw........,.Obama more expansive on who he would consider, says there are several choices, and it must be someone that is willing to not rely on TRICKLE DOWN......while watching McCain - Obama is very serious and unsmiling.
Another question from group chosen to attend:
Oliver asks:How will the Fiscal Recovery Package Help People?
McCain works his support of reining in The Two Freddies.
Obama stating he must correct some of McCain's response, not surprisingly he says...OOOOH
Will continue this in later additions, want to focus more on listening now.
