If that debate exposed anything besides that McCain is still a grumpy old man who is unfit to be president, it showed that a confident Obama is eager to show just how Socialist he is. Check this rhetoric.
Obama: Let's give a "90 day foreclosure moratorium for homeowners that are acting in good faith." What in the fuck? A government moratorium--no let's call it a "fuck you"--to all banks that went out on a limb and gave hundreds of thousands of dollars to people who now can't pay the banks back. How about we call this Obama's "Let's fuck the banking system up even more plan."And what the fuck does "acting in good faith mean?" I'll be acting in good faith when I send a hundred bucks to my bank from the Bahamas! More sexytalk from a guy who doesn't use that big brain much. [Haven't we already been fucked enough by this guy---->]
Obama: "When you [READ: the government] spread[s] the wealth around, it's good for everybody." That sounds so good. I have less; motherment can give me more. Yummy yummy. Is there any doubt about who the 30% (the number is up for debate but it's safe to say it's between 25-35%) of people who don't pay income tax vote for? Will they vote for a guy who gives incentives to those who work or those who don't? Hmm.Obama: Several hundred billion in new spending. There's been some good and correct rhetoric about how fiscally responsible things were getting under Clinton before Bush took office. This graph shows that trend well.
But Obama ain't Clinton. During the first debate, Obama couldn't identify a single government program he would cut--in fact, when asked what he would cut, all he could do was atlk about what he would add.
On Wednesday when McCain called Obama "Senator Government," he was right on.

You don't like either one. How convenient. Who are you voting for O great one?
Of course Obama couldn't [read: wouldn't] get specific re. cuts. He's got a big lead and cannot afford to give any more fodder to McCain. While we'd all love for presidential candidates to lay down all their cards, to win, they simply cannot do so. Your posts seem intelligent, so I have to assume you don't actually believe your own rhetoric - or perhaps I've misjudged you.

McCain's been specific. Obama could have mirrored some of McCain's proposals if it was just about politics. He didn't, however, because Obama does not see spending less as a priority.
Perhaps you misjudged me. But you probably like Sam Johnson, my co-author. He fucking loves Obama.
Not sure I understand your bias against Obama, John. Surely you don't think McCain would be a better President than Obama, right? Although our system is obviously flawed, we have only two choices - unless you want to waste a vote on a write in or for a libertarian - so why hate on the better choice? It doesn't make any sense.
Banks went out on a limb? Poor banks. Punished for their altruism once again. Yeah, that's sarcasm. Fuck the banks and their greedy little employees and mismanagers that pushed loans that should've never been made so they could make a quick profit before pawning them off on some other sucker(s) -- the American people. Yeah, fuck the banks.
