Obama did a great job, as usual. I like having a candidate who is thoughtful and at times, nuanced – because frankly, these issues are nuanced. These are not black and white issues, and if you think they are, you haven’t fully developed all your cognitive functions. Concrete thinking and moral absolutism are usually associated with grade school children in terms of psychological functioning. I find it refreshing to have a candidate from whom I can learn and who’s answers are not predictable and superficial and that do not fall short of capturing the complicated reality in which we live.

I wish we could see more debates between Obama and McCain. This was a great opportunity to actually compare the two candidates on several levels. Although I think they both did good jobs in presenting their points of view, John McCain came across as the more seasoned, experienced, and decisive of the two candidates. When it comes to leadership and solving the numerous problems facing this country, John McCain stood head and shoulders above Obama.

Obama’s notecard for answers:

“Well, __________, uh ____________, I think tha-that ____________, (insert answer that polls the best w his base here), but we also, uh, we have to (insert nuanced caveat here), and unless (insert second caveat and/or opposite position here), then that’s where I stand. I strongly believe that. I’m committed to it.”

fyi….this guy is running for President by playing MadLibs

btw Dave, great comments, but I absolutely MUST point out that it’s not jello. It’s jell-O, and I think they’re working on a new, more Presidential logo for it. unconfirmed.

Trying to listen to his answers between all the “uhhhing” and stammering I totally missed his “absolutely convinced” answer as being noteworthy for the complete “non-answer” it was. Thanks for pointing it out.

Thank-god he’s “absolutely convinced” of SOMETHING!! I was beginning to worry the man had eaten too much jello on his flight from Hawaii and was just one big wiggling mass of misgivings and nuances!
