Ohhhh…..BAMA started off with a lie then kept adding more.
One of my pet peeves is people that call Iraq a war.
Iraq is a theater or campaign IN a war. Like Afghanistan, it is NOT a war in and of itself.
A global war, which is what we are fighting now, has many theaters. To call each theater a separate war is to misstate the problem. You cannot solve a problem until you know what it is.
Was the North African campaign a war? Or was it part of WW2? Was the Italian campaign a war or part of WW2. How about the Eastern front? The Soviets called it the great patriotic war, but then again, it was the only theater they fought in. For the Soviets WW2 was not a global war. Unless you consider the invasion of Iran a seperate campaign. Since the Iranians didn’t fight back, it wasn’t much of a campaign.
Then there was Ohhhh….BAAMA’s cliam to have offered legislature against the rule change that allowed Fannie and Freddie to run amoke. What a liar! Once it became obvious that McCain wasn’t going to call him on any of his lies, I turned it off. No point in watching Ohhhhh…..BAMA tell fables.
I thought McCain did poorly in the bit I watched. I think he wasted an opportunity.

I don’t think anybody watching changed or made up their minds. For Obama to escape without a loss was a win.
