I'm hoping Obama does better in the next debates. Those pauses aren't gonna help him though, I remember Stewart saying that he feels president talks to other universes during those pauses. lol

And in Bill Maher's Real Time, it was mentioned that Obama probably didn't wanna come across as an angry black man. ohwell Oh, the things you have to mind in American politics makes my head hurt. rolleyes


LOL @ angry black man. New Yorker magazine introduced that to the echoing chamber when Obama said, "You didn't build that". Their theory was that it wasn't what Obama said, but how he said it which made white racists wake up and protest. Well, that's NY magazine.

I think Obama will do better because he has been strong on foreign policy. The main reason Obama will win is the demographics in swing states favor him. In the end, that's it.
