I was SUPREMELY disappointed to hear that Obama didn't really have a solution to the financial crisis. I was and still am a diehard Obama supporter, but that was his chance! He could have really shown us something new, something different -- I really hoped he would have an FDR moment and lay out a brilliant scheme to fix this mess. Ugh. I was pretty much on the edge of my seat the whole night, waiting for the real meat of both of their platforms to come out, but I felt like it never did, sadly. I'm waiting for the next one to be blown away. As usual, I agree wholeheartedly. I was SUPREMELY disappointed to hear that Obama didn’t really have a solution to the financial crisis.

Obama had a much more polished delivery. But then I began to wonder, do we put too much stock in these "debates" which are not really true debates?

It just made me more ambivalent. Though I am loathe say it, I do have to give McCain points for his oration skills. I think he was more poised and polished. The bank mess? The more I try to make sense of it, the more confused I get. But years ago when all this subprime lending crap started, and Fannie Mae started giving out loans to anyone who had two nickels to rub together, anybody with half a brain could see that it was going to come to no good. So why are we now facing the biggest financial crisis since the Great Depression? If someone could give me a clear and concise answer on that, I would be amazingly grateful.

I'd be more worried if I had short-term need for that money. And I thought that O wasn't testy enough. He needs a little "Hoo-Hah!" apparently. And, given McSmirk's body language, maybe O needs to stop looking at his opponent as they debate. Apparently, never once looking at your opponent means you're tough.

And how can they be FDIC insured if the FDIC is busying bailing out all these other places? It makes my head spin and right now I hope some miracle happens to turn all of this around and fast.
