Saddleback forum: Obama and McCain answer Rick Warren
« on: August 17, 2008, 10:44:59 AM »
Has anyone watched this one, or know where to find all of it online?  Apparently there were no teleprompters, the second candidate to answer a question (coin flip to pick) went to a sound-insulated room while the first one talked, and a clock was running to prevent rambles.  This is just the sort of thing that was suggested to gauge Obama without scripted questions, etc.

Yeah, I watched it last night. My wife still isn't sure about most of Obama's answers. I though McCain tore him to shreds.

I'm actually beginning to like John McCain. He may be a politician but I don't think that will get in the way of what he really believes to be important. I believe he has integrity which to me is an essential quality in a leader. You can't lead without it imo.

No offense to Obama, but  'turning the other cheek' or however you call it just wont work some times. McCain understands that, I dont think Obama does.

McCain gave direct answers to the questions and obama hedged an equivocated.

If a man can't give direct answers to direct questions he is lacking in character.  Leaders need character.

I thought McCain had a hell of a lot more depth. I'm aggravated the media won't bring in Barr or Baldwin.

Mr Warren asked when a "baby gets human rights"? Senator McCain did not hesitate. "At the moment of conception," he said. Senator Obama replied that from theological and scientific points of view, this question was "above my pay grade".

Moot, check CNN.  Think they have it.  I watched a few mins of it.  I'll be watching more over the next few days as well.

As of now, here's the link:

Well, lets just say Obama refused to answer the question by side stepping it. Thats what liberals do.

Yeah and that answer makes him sound so much smarter. At least McCain sticks to his beliefs and speaks his mind, Obama is more worried about saying anything wrong, so he says nothing with any substance at all.

Mr Warren didn't ask him what the theololigical or scientific community thought about the issue, Mr. Warren asked Sen Obama what HE thought about the issue, and got an artfull dodge in response. What a freaking wuss!!!! One time I'd like to see him man up and take a solid stand on SOMETHING!!!!

I fancy you're talking about Obama.  But your sentence did cause me to pause that McCain does more of what you're seeking.  And I disagree with him sometimes.

I know what you mean though.  Someone says, "Here's what I think and why.  I'd love to have your vote, but if you disagree with me, probably best to vote for the other guy."

And if you're talking about Obama, he has taken solid stands on somethings.  I disagree with some of his "to do's."  And, I know what you mean too.  He came up with an answer designed to lose him the fewest votes on either side. 

There's something quite worthwhile about a guy who says his mind (assuming he's thoughtful and not just spouting off) and follows up with something like "if you disagree, then I'm probably not your guy."
