McCain Schools Obama in Debate




John McCain not only won the debate, but he won it in Grand style!

McCain schooled Obama like he's never been schooled before and America saw for the first time how Obama literally crumbled under the pressure.

It was a classic case of Pro vs. Amateur.

Why Did McCain Miss These Changes?

Does anyone know where voters can send advice or comments to the RNC or whoever makes up McCains debate and issues team? because I was astounded that McCain did not vigorously rebut the following, despite he won the debate, it needed to be decisive.

* "Al Quaeda is resurgent" ( Obama many times)

Riposte: Al Qaeda is hugely degraded compared to before and after 911. Over and over the Al Qaeda high command said Iraq was the central battlefield against the USA. Well, the US has almost wiped out Al Queda in Iraq and killed thousands of terrorists Osama Bin Laden sent there to murder Americans and Iraqis with acts of unspeakable barbarism. Iraq became a death trap for jihadi terrorists. And we have killed and captured them till they are a shadow. Al Qaeda is weakened and in hiding, but true, the Taliban are making some comback in Afghanistan. We need to deal with that and I will.

If Sen. Obama has withdrawn all our Iraq troops, Iraq today would likely be under Bin Laden's control and run by them, one step closer to dominating the middle east. Thousands of his terrorists would now be flocking out of Iraq in Afghanistan to defeat us there too. I reject that Al Quada is resurgent. They are on the ropes in Iraq, no thanks to polices of Senbator Obama, who opposed the surge.

* The Sub Prime crisis and trying to pin economic woe of the Republicans ( Obama many times)

Riposte: Everyone knows the heart of this crisis is the housing market and the sub prime loans market. There are other problems but the collapses of banks and insurers is basically all down to Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and housing prices or foreclosures. Bankers do not like losing money. Nor do they like lending money to those who can't pay it back.

Bankers did not make this crisis, in fact the wrong sort of regulations did. Regulations that under a Democratic leadership in the 1990s basically forced banks to make "non discriminatory" loans to people without income, without security, with no prospect of payment. All in the name of politics to help some politicians get votes by spreading home ownership, even to those millions who would never have qualified under normal bank terms. Legislation and agencies threatened banks to loan to bad credit customers, under threat of penalty.

And who was going to guarantee all these bad loans? That's when politicians led by Democrats stepped in to inflate Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, to pump them full of hot money, and help them guarantee bad credit. Republicans tried to change this in 2003, seeing the warning signs. It failed in Congress. I sponsored a bi-partisan bill in 2005 to regulate Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae. The Democratic Party and Sentaor Obama, who has $125,000 worth of donations from Fannie and Frddie, killed that too.

It's Senator Obama and his party, and some Republicans too, who have all the while benefited from Fannie and Freddie and who backed forcing banks to make bad loans on taxpayers money. I have a consistant record of seeing ahead and knowing the mess we would get into. I dont want US taxpayers to have to bail us out and I am not going to let Senator Obama and his party pin their blindness on my foresight"
