Closing statementMcCain-"I don't need on the job training, I'm ready to go no."Obama-"My Dads from Kenya, thats where I get my name from........"Obama didn't win that one Getbig I have bad news for you.
mcsame told war stories all nite. obama should have said , is this a trip down memory lane john or are we gonna talk about the issues?clearly mcsame knows very little about being president and is looking to squeeze in on the sympathy vote!
Obama handled the issues on the economy better then mcsame and held his won on foreign policy!
"held his won"?
David Gurgin on CNN said it best. Mcsame needed a huge win, and at best it was a tie, and when you're behind you need a big win. Next up its Palin and Biden, so the momentum will continue on with Obama.
Osama didn't do as well as predicted by many
Major Gaffe: McCain Said Pakistan Was a Failed StateMcCain just badly misstated the history of Pakistan. For someone claiming extensive foreign policy knowledge, this is simply not acceptable. McCain said Pakistan was a failed state before President Musharraf came to power. That is not true.Musharraf took power in a military coup in 1999 when he diposed Nawaz Sharif - who recently participated in the latest election. The coup followed the 1999 war in Kashmir with India and was due to a power struggle with Sharif, not due to Pakistan being a "failed state." The United States did not welcome the Musharraf coup. Instead the government of the United States imposed sanctions against this action.Remember Pakistan had nuclear weapons in 1999. Did McCain believe that there was a failed state that possessed nuclear weapons? If he did he showed no concern at the time. The fact is McCain made a huge gaffe and demonstrated he has little understanding if the region.
