Seriously? All the serious topics being discussed and you decide to highlight "Bomb Bomb Bomb Bomb Iran" and the seal? You think those were the most important things to come out of that discussion? What a poor example of journalism.

Did anyone notice that throughout the night…. Sen. John McCain has avoided looking Sen. Obama in the eye. What does that signify? Also he barely agrees with Sen. Obama on any issues in order to express his bipartisan leadership.

I think the debates went better than I thought but I was worried about the fact that Obama addressed and looked at McCain but McCain would not look at him. A little think but I was taught when a child to look at whom you are talking to.

I had higher expectations for McCain, he is doing a very bad job. He can't even look at Obama. That says alot about him.

I have seen enough. I just don't trust McCain. He is the same ole same ole, polished politician. He tries to twist the issues and mischaracterized his opponent instead of just stating his position.

The difference is Obama is telling the truth. MCain is being snotty. That is the difference.

I guess you could call that a hit for McCain. I didn't get the reference until I read this post.

McCain's arrogance does nothing to enhance his stature or convince me to vote for him. 8 years ago I may have voted for him. Now my vote stands firmly with Obama!

McCain should not have sung it the first time. That was almost as bad as Bush saying "Bring it on".

Do any media or commentators feel that the seriousness facing your country right now has been adressed. Does anyone have a warm fuzzy about either of these two leaders of their party becoming President. I hope that's adressed this evening on CNN after this debate.

Only Obama is looking presidential from where I sit. And I have been listening carefully to both sides for months!!

I think McCain's retort to Obama's "spain" upper-cut was rediculous, he didnt observe the foundation of the question or ctake the oportunity to defend himself, he laughed and joked. Is that how he plans on working in the white house?

I had no problem with either remark, however, the one Senator Obama made was the more effective of the two.

McCain will not look at Obama in the eye?! Why is that? Is he not confident in himself? Does he fear his opponent? What kind of man doesn't look at his opponent during a debate? I was giving McCain the benefit of the doubt but he is now proving he is NOT a man of character. He is arrogant and weak! Obama continues to look his way but McCain is completely ignoring him... I don't know who else is noticing but I sure am!
