aristo’s review - February 26 - Democratic Debate
February 27, 2008
After seeing the 20th Democratic debate in the process of choosing a nominee to go up against McCain and any other Presidential hopefuls, it’s safe to say that it went as everyone thought it would.
Hillary Clinton tried to be on the offensive, insisting that there is a lot of ‘fight’ left in her, and Barak Obama, who calmly batted down any potential knockout punches that his adversary brought to the table.
I believe Clinton showed her desperate side, and in contrast, Obama showed his collective side, which is needed at this point in time from a President of this country. We, the People, don’t need another gun-slinger. There are multiple crises right here at home that need attention.
After Obama ‘denounced’ the words of Louis Farrakhan, Clinton said he should reject Farrakhan. Even though the two words are more or less synonyms, Obama agreed, and said, “..if Hillary feels reject is different than denounce, then yes, I reject and denounce him.”
For your information, here’s the definition:
denounce
Function: verb
Text: 1 to declare to be morally wrong or evil
Synonyms:condemn, criticize
To sum things up, Senator Clinton needed to have Senator Obama fumble key statements, which was not the case. She needed to set herself apart as the obvious winner of the debate, which was also not evident.
His open-mindedness and firm stance on many issues has set him apart from her, which is why he is the winner of the last 11 state primaries and caucuses.
McCain, Obama, or Nader - who would you want running this country?

Got something to say?
Sunil,
I cannot decide who i want runing the US but the wrong thing to do is not to vote.
I agree, and I must also add that voters must be VERY well informed. Undereducated/uneducated voters could lead us in the wrong direction.
Some people believe Obama is too inexperienced to run this country. What do you think?
I think from looking at the choices we have, our country’s current political/economic/etc. situations, and what’s at stake, we cannot afford to go with McCain or Clinton, because they will keep the shaft deep in the country’s culo.
We as citizens must realize something is wrong and we must try another direction before it’s too late. Too late meaning other superpowers pass us beyond reach in things that matter such as cost of living, healthcare, technology which includes medical, energy, technology, and space exploration breakthroughs.
We were once known for being on top, but in the past 8 years, I think we’ve taken a wrong turn.
You know I’m a Ron Paul supporter, but I believe Obama is the next best thing right now because of the large masses that support him and the message he delivers. Can you tell I think McCain is bad for the country?
Things aren’t working, and we must try a different approach.
I am still questioning obama’s motives and his international relations capabilities in regards to presenting the US in a positive light. One thing that bothers me with these candidates is that their spouses seem to be quite in the spotlight…in the case of Obama and Hilary..
You are on the right track, Andrew. The only two that would want us out of Iraq and start rebuilding America the right way are Ron Paul (yes, he’s still in the race as a Republican although he’s way behind) and Ralph Nader, who ran 4 other unsuccessful campaigns at the presidency. It’s sad that the two hopefuls’ chances are next to hopeless.
I intend to post a little something to bring light to where these two guys stand apart from the ‘commercial’ candidates, all of whom want to stay in Iraq and protect AND fund the state of Israel.
Thanks to the media for keeping the airtime that some candidates get to a bare minimum - seems like CNN, MSNBC and all other big election following stations are no better than the paparazzi.
During the debate Hilary said she would take back her vote for the war. If so, then why would she want to stay in Iraq?
Seeing Hilary and Obama go at it like a cat and dog makes me wonder how they would appeal in the international community if one would be the next incumbent.we are living much closer on a global scale when it comes to information dissemination and the little integrity lhat the US still has in regards to global relations in swinging on a pendulum.
I’m not sure how true it is, but according to what Senator Obama says, Al-Qaeda was not a force in Iraq; we went in there based on Saddam Hussein having weapons of mass destruction (that part I know is true).
Seems like wherever our troops go, Al-Qaeda sends some of their forces to counter our efforts.
So this would answer Shawn’s question, in that before, there were no Al-Qaeda forces there, it costed us 800 billion and counting, and all the deaths could have been avoided.
Hillary regrets voting for this war because now it’s gotten out of hand, and both Republicans and Democrats agree that we must at least combat the Al-Qaeda troops that were formed to combat our troops in the region. We could very well be cutting off our own heads with that double-edged sword and not realize it.
Guys like Ron Paul and Ralph Nader want us out NOW. More to come on those candidates in the coming days.
Andrew, it is believed by the Clinton campaign that her worldly travels gives her experience in foreign relations. For Obama, both his multicultural roots and upbringing is believed to give him a sense of universality, which helps him attract tens of thousands at a time. Who knows what the future holds with the Democrats. We already know what the Neo-Cons can do, and in these past 8 years, it is evident our country has tumbled.
I might as well become an independent. I would neither vote Hillary or Obama and Mccain is definitely out of the question. What is confused American suppose to do?
Andrew, you said that you still question Obama’s motives. Please elaborate.
I don’t know if he wants the seat as an African American writng history or as as a man who wants to lead America into Greener pastures????????
Either way, none of the ‘commercialized’ candidates want us out of Iraq. They want to keep spending our tax dollars there.
Do you guys agree with that or do you think they could be put to better use right here at home?
Andrew, I agree with you. This is why I’m such a strong Ron Paul supporter. All the other candidates would lead us in the wrong direction.
If you don’t know who RP is, he is the candidate that receives the most money and support from all the branches of our active service men and women (Army, Air Force, Navy, Marines). If our troops support this guy, don’t we have an obligation to find out what this guy is about?
Yes you are right sunil.,,,,,I will look into Ron Paul…I am shock that he is not getting press time…
