How in touch is Charles Gibson? He challenged HRC and Obama with a reference to a Constitutional provision that was overridden by Amendment XII over 200 years ago!

Gibson asserts time and again that households with an income in the range of $200,000.00 are considered the middle-class.

How many people knew Stephanopoulos was the Clintons' former press-secretary? Disclosure would have been appropriate.

ABC blew it by trivializing the fundamental problems and very serious challenges people face today. How many more times will the Wright issue and bittergate be exaggerated? And Obama's "association" with Ayres? For heavens sakes -- c'mon Obama was only 8 years old. Today the man is a college professor, his wife a well-esteemed educator. What is it about Obama not wearing a flag lapel pin? [Hillary does not either] Obviously some confuse symbology with patriotism -- worse some equate patriotism with nationalism.

I just returned from the neighbourhood store -- people are very upset and angry about last night's farce of a debate. Most said they turned it off after the first 30 minutes. Rightfully so.

This is the kind of politics Obama wants to change.

Last night was an assault on the Constitution. How ironical that the "debate" was held against a backdrop of our Constitution and Gibson asked only one question about a provision in the Constitution that no longer exists. The symbology of that is nothing less than breathtaking considering how much has been overridden by the Bush administration.

That is another reason to elect Obama in November as President of the US. He promised to abide by the Constitution and reverse many of the Bush policies.
