Well, McLame's bitterness and racist tendencies came to surface tonight in a big way. Plus his inability to focus on the proper answer, much like his pathetic running mate, Sarah Palincomparison, you betcha!!

Let's start with the very first question!

QUESTION: With the economy on the downturn and retired and older citizens and workers losing their incomes, what's the fastest, most positive solution to bail these people out of the economic ruin?

McLame ended up in some diatribe about *energy independence*! The *fastest* solution to helping the average American?? Is John aware of some form of cold fusion that was just invented and magically sprouted an entire infrastructure around it? Energy independence will take YEARS if not DECADES. But McLame thinks it is the *fastest* solution to helping Americans now.

*cuckoo* *cuckoo* *cuckoo*

Then he mentions the last President to raise taxes in tough economic times was Herbert Hoover. Uhhh...wrong Herbert there, John. That would have been George Herbert Walker Bush after the US entered a recession in the early 1990s (again as a result of the failed Republican economic policy of Trickle Down Economics.) And speaking of Reagan, Reagan raised taxes several times during his two terms.

Quick note: Sen. McLame? I'm *not* your fucking "friend"!

And Brokaw? Lose the damned sarcasm, asshat.

Next was the biggest gaffe (or most revealing tell), when a black woman posed a question re: the environment. McLame went on some energy bill rant and ended up pointing to Obama and stating "That one!". Racist much, John? Fits in with your Veep running mate and her hate-filled stump speeches that have been sparking hatred and violence at every stop. Way to elevate the level of political discourse.

After that we had McLame *praising* the "freedom fighters" of Afghanistan. Um, John? That was the Mujahideen. You know, the radical Islamists who eventually took over Afghanistan as the Taliban or broke into groups like al Qaeda! The very same people you say are the #1 threat to the safety of America today! Which is it, John?!

Here's a tip for ya, McLame...it's *speak* softly and carry a big stick. Not *talk* softly. And New Hampshire is a battleground state? uhhhh...

And what was with the wandering about on-stage? Doing your Admiral Stockdale "Why am I here?" impression? Or suffering another mini-stroke?


As for Obama, every post-debate analysis, online poll, focus group, etc. has Obama winning hands-down! Well, except Faux News where Fred Thompson stammered something about McLame being strong and Karl "Turdblossom" Rove raving about McCain's foreign policy answers. Uhhh...what debate were *they* watching? Oh, HA! And Pat Buchanan all but masturbating on live TV in his praise over McLame (just like he did over Palinsane after the VP debate).

Obama was smooth. Calm. Collected. Connected.

McLame was...Epic Fail!
