"Greatest force for good in the history of the world?"

Green Lantern Corps totally kicks our ass in that department. And Superman.

Yeah, that one was a flub.

WE ARE NATION OF GOOD. GOOOOOD.

[wei yau]

What about The Darkstars?

No, seriously, whatever happened to the Darkstars?

[yguy]

I didn't know anything about these fines for not having health insurance. Obama (pbuh) ignored that completely.

[ChuckF]

Ok, that was kind of a stupid question, but Obama is letting McCain control the debate.

The next thing I'll do as President is that any politician that tries to rub the collective American rhubarb will be burned at the stake. I'm not your friend, I don't want to hear about heroes, etc, etc.

Okay, this is just blather and mud-slinging from both of them. I'm going to listen to Pink Floyd and play WoW.

This question about doctrines isn't fair. Doctrinal policy-making can be disastrous.

[wildernesse]

Obama is being incoherent about helping people we don't really care about.

Fair point.

Predominantly pro-Obama Irish board has two comments saying "Obama insults the world"

Another 'My Friends.' I might hit something.

I thought he made perfect sense. We have a moral obligation to intervene when we can but since we can't be everywhere at once we need to have a better relationship with our allies.

[ChuckF]

McCain's answer would be an ok one if he wasn't so tainted by his cheerleading for Iraq.

ETA: AWESOME Pakistan question. Way to bring up Cambodia. Best question so far tonight.

[California Tanker]

I thought he said Reagan was his hero?

NTM

[ChuckF]

"If you are a country..."

Did McCain say Obama turned Pakistani public opinion against us?

[wildernesse]

McCain is driving me crazy with the one line interjections.

Plus, isn't it WALK softly and carry a big stick from TR?

ETA: I'm gonna get him! You know I would. What kind of policy is that?

[ChuckF]

Wait, McCain knows how to get Osama bin Laden? Where the fuck has he been for the past seven years? Why hasn't he gone and gotten him?

[California Tanker]

Good Afghan question there, referencing the Brits.

Superfriends, too.

And that's kinda sad.

[wildernesse]

New cold war? Nope, it's all hot ones from here on out.

[ChuckF]

God damn it, a Russia question. I hate listening to both of them talk about Russia. Shut the fuck up about Ukraine, old man. at "those who want to reassemble the Soviet Union." That is completely made up.

And Obama largely agrees with him. He wants to "be reactive." lol. Also, stupid on Russian energy. Nationalist impulses? Try again.

[California Tanker]

That doesn't make much sense. The Russians will still get a boatload of petro-dollars from all their other clients.

NTM

[California Tanker]

That's a bit of a weak question on Israel.

Rulebreak by McCain, there. I seem to recall they're not allowed to touch the audience.
