		<description>Thank you for posting your comment regarding that API story.  Sometimes these smears make me so upset, and then I read your comment, and feel better.  I&#039;m trying to respond to all those who were clinging to that false story with this message:

&quot;The post you responded on regarding what Michelle Obama said is a hoax.  I hope you are as happy as I am to know this.  Michelle Obama is a good woman.  The media is now revealing it as a hoax.

Don&#039;t be duped by the distractions.&quot;

Anyways, if I saw you I&#039;d give you a solid high five.

Thanks Again!

&lt;em&gt;*waves* Thank you for stopping by.  Those lying liars are such lying liars.  Michelle Obama has put up with their ignorance without losing one bit of dignity or self respect.  If I had a daughter, I would like to send her to a school that teaches &#039;how to be keep your integrity like Michele Obama.&#039;  Thanks again for stopping by. Come by and see me again. Cheers.&lt;/em&gt;</description>

		<description>I wasn&#039;t going to watch the debate, but did with my Mom. Body language is important. Mom can&#039;t hear too well, but she noticed that McCain was moving too much. McCain kept saying talk softly carry a big stick, but his soft speaking didn&#039;t go over well with Mom. She also saw that he didn&#039;t shake Obama&#039;s hand. The commentators afterwards compared the debate to a boxing match, but it lacked the sportsmanship I&#039;ve seen two men give each other after punching each other in the face.

&lt;em&gt;Hello Salty. You&#039;re right.  Sportsmanship was sorely lacking.  I just pictured you and your mom watching TV together.  Lovely. &lt;/em&gt; </description>

		<description>Though they agreed beforehand on the format, it was boring. No new questions were asked. For a town hall style debate, Tom Brokaw should have only asked questions that brought the candidates back on topic or forced them to give more specific answers.

I thought Barack was more Presidential in his behavior throughout the night. It was evident that McCain was acting like a sore loser and being childish. He couldn&#039;t give a straight answer or challenge his opponent without adding little digs. I also was hoping that his team had prepped him a little better in light of his behavior the last time. However, it is clear that the McCain campaign leaders are giving him bad advise. That is evident by their behavior on the campaign trail--throwing around that word &quot;terrorist,&quot; trying to insight fear and hatred among their listeners.

&lt;em&gt;Hello embrownny.  I agree, it was boring.  I hope the next debate is more exciting.  I would like to see a good clean fight and then a knockout - in a Presidential way, of course. :-)&lt;/em&gt;</description>

		<description>I started watching the debate, but I must admit my boredom won out and I changed the channel. I figured I&#039;d watch the important clips online. I&#039;m such a bad American!


&lt;em&gt;You&#039;re not a bad American.  Just don&#039;t forget to vote. :-)&lt;/em&gt;</description>

		<description>Thanks for the ever so important focus on body language, SteadyCat. 

Transcripts of the debate don&#039;t quite cover the anger, entitlement, posturing or ignoring that give away some of the true motivation firing up these two men.

		<description>Well, &quot;That&quot; won.

This was supposed to be McCain&#039;s element, &quot;the town hall style&quot; debate, and I wasn&#039;t feeling it.  McCain&#039;s interactions looked pained and forced, and the only time he hit the episodic stride is when he was bullshitting.  

Obama looked infinitely more comfortable.  He owned it.

I think McCain can&#039;t shake being infuriated over the fact that his sense of entitlement to the Presidency might be denied...denied by a rookie senator.

&lt;em&gt;*nods in agreement*  Every time McCain speaks I feel like I should be his mom (figure).  I want to put him in the naughty corner and say &#039;son, sit down until you learn to behave. You can&#039;t always have your way.&#039;  I really wish he would control his anger better - because it makes him look bad.   :-)&lt;/em&gt;</description>
