  • I want my president to be articulate and very smart.

    Obama made a good point when he said that it is hypocritical to have to defend himself for the very thing that we embrace as the "American Dream".

    There are a lot of other qualities that make a good President and a person who tries to respond to the needs of

    others, but this kind of criticism is trivial to be sure.

    Personally, I don't want "Joe Six-Pack" as the head of our country, even if he is a great guy (or woman).

  • McCain graduating lowest in his naval academy yet because of his family connections got a sweet position in the naval military

  • Obama: a thoughtful, articulate answer. McCain: talking points.

  • Did he just say "yo-!" serveral times? xD

  • rofl this is my favourite thing about Obama's speech. Self-moderation = flawless and enjoyable sentences. You want to check how slowly winston churchill talked lol.

  • Does that stand to reason that John McCain is also "looking to be careful of what he says" for the sake of altering his so called "image"? You just said in two different ways that actually both of these men do the same thing....

  • Obama went to a great college and all, and he is articulate but...maaaan, oh man does he hesitate a LOT when he's talking. He's always looking to be careful of what he says, always thinking 5 times about what to say, how it'll come out. He looks like a smart guy...who's really stressed !!

    Mccain just gives you what he thinks - he might alter what he's saying for his image but he just gives you common sense straight away.

  • I was not speaking literally about a particular person. I was speaking figuratively about the labels.

  • Great guy? He was/is a liar and a tax evader.

  • Man, Obama is great. I hope he does well.
