#1 This is getting interesting now, it was a creepy Obama the messiah thing a couple of weeks ago. He really screwed the pooch on this one.

#2 Both candidates got a list of the questions beforehand. Candidate Obama has no excuse for being unprepared to answer. No doubt he thought the pay grade thingy was a good joke, but once again he failed to understand his audience.

#3 IIUC - they got the first two questions only, beforehand. The rest could've been guessed by anyone with an IQ above room temp, but apparently the 300+ advisors on O'bamas team don't meet that req't. Abortion question? In an evangelical church? Whoda thunk it? He's an empty suit and rhetorical loser withot a teleprompter. "Platitudes with Attitude" as a wise and snarky someone at AOSHQ noted. I'm soooo stealing that.

I mean, observing that abortion has a moral and legal aspect? WOW!!1!! What insight!

#7 I just read an article on Drudge about his youngest brother in Nairobi that lives on less than $1 USD a MONTH. He's the same as every other wealthy asshole lawyer I've ever met, even if it is a half brother he should be digging a hole in the Virgin Islands sand and hiding his head in it.

#8 I don't understand how boneheaded the Obama campaign is when it comes to his Kenyan relatives and their lives of poverty. 5 years ago, Obambi could have bought through a family member 100 acres in Kenya, had some cheap houses built, moved some goats and cattle onto it, and had the family move there to manage it for him. It would have tied in nicely with the Black Liberation Theology of his church, the PC "Black Motherland" concept of Africa, and would have pre-empted any controversy about his half-brothers.

#9 1. Above my paygrade - bad way to put it. Guy needs work

2. Tha claim that obama cant negotiate with the NOrks cause he went soft on the Clintons is vile. Bill Clinton is a former President of the United States. Hillary Clinton is a US Senator and a patriot. They are NOT the enemy, not even to the sane among y'all right wingers. A fortiori to a Dem. Get off it, it only makes yall look stupid.

#10 Obama's mother, father, white grandfather were all socialists and/or communist sympathizers. I bet Kenyan grandfather may have been too, but not enough info on it. Obama was mentored by a hardcore member of the Communist party (at grand dad's insistence), asscociats with far, far left radicals and racists. What makes you think Obama doesn't agree with Kimmie, Putie, the Ayatollahs, Fidel or Hugo, or would uphold the interests of Americans in any shape or form? Obama is a disaster waiting to happen and would make America long for the good old days of Jimmy Carter.

#11 LH, the author's a talk show host. A Boston-area talk show host. Consider the source.

If Obama doesn't negotiate effectively with North Korea, it'll be because of who he has as foreign policy advisors. The group he has now doesn't exactly inspire me with confidence.

#13 why should he have subsidized relatives hes never met? Hell, not everybody with poor relations in the old country does that - it depends on the connection.
