    Is Anybody Listening?

    Category Politics

    Is anybody listening? Did you watch last night’s coverage of the debates? I really want to know how my generation of thinkers are feeling after the final debate. 

     

     

    *If you missed it, enjoy it in 3 parts from CNN.com (part 1) | (part 2) | (part 3)


    The New York Times reported on one of the “sharpest exchanges” between John McCain and Barack Obama since the conventions. It happened when Obama, almost on cue, once again compared “McCain” to “Bush” — accusing McCain of having the same ‘ol politics. 

     

    In response to Mr. Obama’s statement that Mr. McCain had repeatedly supported Mr. Bush’s economic policies, Mr. McCain fairly leaped out of his chair to say: “Senator Obama, I am not President Bush. If you wanted to run against President Bush, you should have run four years ago.”

     

     

    Acknowledging Mr. McCain had his differences with Mr. Bush, Mr. Obama replied, “The fact of the matter is that if I occasionally mistake your policies for George Bush’s policies, it’s because on the core economic issues that matter to the American people — on tax policy, on energy policy, on spending priorities — you have been a vigorous supporter of President Bush.”

     

     

    Ouch! Obama clapped back without missing a beat. While McCain failed every attempt to come across stoic and unfazed.  But don’t leave this one up to me … What do you think?
