why did you cut off Obama! I don't care if he went on for 30 minutes answering just one question, I want to hear the whole thing!

The next question and answer is on the next clip 2 of 17.

Some of you might hate McCain, but at least he didn't give any fluff answer. He isn't my favorite candidate, but at least he answered the actual question that was given to him and didn't puff up himself or his listeners.

Who is more compassionate to the "least of us"?

Obama gave 6% of his income to charity in 2007, he made over a million in 2007.

Dick Cheney gave over 70% of his income to charity. Cheney made over 8 million in 2007 and gave more than 6 million to charity.

Where in the scriptures does it say that the government needs to take care of the poor? Isn't that our job as a society? As a member of the family? As a member of a church?

This video is the absolute epitome of sophistry. I appreciate the civil forum but still, absolute sophistry.

Does anybody know what thegas4free.blogspot,com is that Obama has been talking so much about?

[Zori Lucas]

he does not want to kill babies just think if you were a teen girl who was having a baby because you made the wrong decision you would probably want a abortion because your scared and you just can't take care of a kid because your a kid yourself he just thinks people should be able to make the decision if they want their baby or not it's not his baby so he does not want to choose for us

[LaMOi1]

O dear... I mean who do you choose. Im a Christian and am not convinced about Obama. But McCain?? The guy chose military men as people he would ask for advice... Is he planning on taking over the world.???

[kimcolleen]

I do not believe in the separation of faith and poltics like so many today. I agree with Rick Warren. Someone's moral and values will prevail in the end. I'd much rather it be someone who at very least believes there is a power greater than themselves and that they are accountable to that

[Loriprl]

Who is Fox biased towards and how was this Q&A biased? Rick Warren asked the exact same questions to both candidates. If you think Obama didn't do a good job, the only one to blame is Obama.

[Hosea22]

Chuck Baldwin for President in 2008!!!

[logicalkitty]

I know each clip is a different question, he cut off Obama's response to this question before he was done
