Second Presidential Debate

I recommend they spending footnotes that except for defense and veterans affairs and some other vital programs you just have to come across our. -- Good stuff hello Nashville -- it's -- degree. Not bad -- weren't told Jim Rappaport interesting debate last night I was fascinated by you guys think each candidate missed opportunities. A decent questions I think you've known as a -- tablets and frustrating chances and inability Erin and willingness that well but agreed on the issue of of of sacrifices at least. McCain you know did speak to it. I mean he talked about you know spending freeze and some other items like that. And Obama turned it around talked about all the programs is going to. Take care I -- I was kind of stunned it was in it was interesting you know which into really we're gonna get to the cost 6172666868. Is the number. It's warrants Holman. It Jim Rappaport and meet Tom -- talking with you about last night's debate I know yes aren't I don't have a reaction to a we want to hear what you our reaction is who won who lost. Well what do you frustrated about the is it just the economy here these guys both dodge and when it comes to the stuff abroad as well. How about that question -- still cut for this to -- wasn't the best. Question of the night and I'm going to ask Arab audience to respond specifically. To this question about sacrifice.

We have our first question from the Internet tonight. A child of the depression 78 year old -- from Chicago since World War II we have never been asked to sacrifice anything to help our country except the blood of our heroic men and women as president what sacrifices. Sacrifices -- ask every American. To me to help restore the American dream and get out of the economic morass --

A child of the depression -- could be described in my momma who's 88 she born in 1920 classic child of the depression as was this woman. As well and I I have only one which sacrifice what should. Every American be asked to took two to respond to two -- and Barack Obama Arafat had an interest in response. -- when he talked about George Bush's call for the nation after 911911. And it do you have that one too was wealthy and not.

A lot of your murmur the tragedy of nine elevenths. And where you were on that day. And -- how all of the country was ready to come together and make. Enormous changes. To make us not only safer but to make us a better country and -- and and more unified country and if President Bush did some smart things at the outset. One of the opportunities it was missed was when he spoke to the American people we he said. Go out and shop. That wasn't the kind of call. To service that I think the American people were looking for.

You know what I mean a complete agreement would Barack Obama's description of George Bush George Bush his in the blunder. The the last opportunities the missed momentary Korea -- cut her throat hurt ball violate that for salt that's totally taking -- context when he -- What he said -- you can't let the terrorists win. He can't bunkered down sit new home and not do anything not go to work and let our economy collapsed. What he and -- taking bat. Three words out of go to work. Are you still I I still you don't that was an opportunity here that few presidents ever have to -- you know to make a call to Americans to tighten your belt any of us would have done anything.

In the months after 9/11 and you must try to list a list a thousand American way. That's a frightening -- the I don't I don't -- about it is taking orders from somebody that would have been an Alley and happened to. -- it's not that it was a Tuesday looking up on Friday trying to and -- yeah absolutely positively -- he -- along if you remember. You know every every. Week every and I don't remember exactly what they -- we we -- do we always -- that's very similar to people my generation. When judge if it was assassinated you remember the moment when I'm -- you but I even remember remember that you don't really do in the challenger went down. Those in the -- Somalia perhaps -- that was unbelievable yeah that's who shall Obama.

You know he didn't really ask for specific sacrifice that he -- he was radiated -- 78 year old woman -- sister for question. But he did. He looked charismatic he looked like a leader in the in the nurturing that you what you look like someone you could unite you know -- and that's really what his Harry's -- bottles --

Empty suit now he said nothing he does is great thing about Bruce from its approach for the soup because in the end warrant you know if you had trying to get it without Scott Lehigh from the globe some of the question. In some of format you participated in which it weighed about one that was -- respect you look and sound gubernatorial but he didn't give us any specifics is there a specific an archivist yeah I don't know that McCain -- that cost McCain eat it the other way -- not a sacrificed to meet you Jim Rappaport -- by the -- the care spending prince and myself.

By the way Obama's. Earlier the question directly before that was the question about your priorities. In and I think that was one Obama's best pitchers where he said. Energy's not want health cares number to an anti education is number three and that's what I'm gonna focus on and it -- hit it out of the park was very specific. And then he surely didn't go. Actual bodily sort of kind of specific you know this guy he said well I have an animated I have Jim you want to do recite the front but the reality is that this every president Richard Nixon in 1970 assembled going to have and -- 72 that is going to have energy Independent. And the reality is is that the only way we're -- and energy independence is is we drill more oil we use shale oil. We are a apartment -- noisy and -- my way out of this gym where we have no free that's the world's oil and we actually 5% pilot we've won was we have more of that if we actually going to get pre drilled at that. He and you know what the other part of this in that we can talk about offshore trillion in no germs are big proponent of it. That the energy information. Administration which -- the US government's official source energy -- should do offshore drilling will not have a significant impact on our gas prices on total. 2003.

First to -- what else that I I gotta tell ya this is that's what I did -- was -- sources as effective as their as the -- telling us -- revenues -- going to be because they've been wrong. For 25 years for 25 years it's of any running out of oil ten years so what's your source. My sources for example is as for example after last couple kept Abbas who has to. Fines off of a deep -- a -- Brazil that are the size of Saudi -- huge the size of the Saudi Arabian rulers Brazil. But yet but that is another source it's another sort justice and clad intellectual we had reached an option here is renewable suits or its its sun it's sure it's win. It's it would open I don't want to tell you what your help I am -- personal message their income is Jim Rappaport nuclear warrant told I was just going there McCain is all over it. -- The site and -- and -- not taken. -- I'm Mike Mike fell asleep where where he was he waited till I got out by sorry about but it won't come back him back if you call bill Collins from Salem New Hampshire good bought a bail.

You know you guys -- start I mean you know. Kind of like my first thing with the anger that I felt overlord bringing up the Keating five which is the most page is all argument. The prosecutor who was assigned this case actually said. That is the reason to prosecute. McCain at all so you know they do but I don't respect --

Affected what code does not condone his he's conduct. He has a 1535. Congressman and senators who behave this way on a daily basis -- He's kind of aggregated and there's such option down there are already -- and I and a push dark on the use of the we're corruption Germans and absolutely inappropriate we're warrant user of them the Senate I served in the house. I never hesitated and I would not today. Right -- on behalf of a constituent business on. Labor or whatever. To a particular effort bureaucracy might be the Department of Labor somebody's been denied the affair wages and thinks they've been screwed it could be -- who says hey women I get a banking commissioner zealot I'm not. Who do an ABC then in the explain it to me if it makes sense that's it and I'd write a letter that person's behalf does not -- all absolutely.

And it -- let's talk about Keating Keating brought. John McCain in his family on vacations on flights on the personal jet he gave hundreds -- it was dip it in his wife and father in law were in business with Keating okay. Now -- what they are visiting -- them because he was up Bangkok every Wednesday at all although I don't know Lieberman much beyond they were in business together when much beyond having -- but secondly. What did what did McCain do. McCain wrote letters okay that's okay I I am with you on that he pushed the nomination form and in he attempted. Meetings with banking regulators as United States senator with him as well I think -- a senator pressure on him none of them only to look in the went to the meetings.

And make that known OK I'm away and it has to be here in this McCain himself by the way that he acknowledges that even bigger Jose event should have done it won't ever happen again and I think we are and an outside led him to get into the McCain Feingold position that it took it was a horrible Harrison write this it and --

Treatment and then until last week Charles Keating this man that he went about. -- was that responsible for the the most of these units -- being a billion and a history of America I agree I shall have to -- It is cause -- really -- Dick Dick do -- think that that's the type of conduct. That John McCain is is typically engage in well with us -- there was serious error in judgement well what happened you.

Want to start going through Obama's like launching his -- his political career at the -- founders on terror inaugural launch is they do absolutely everybody was looking at how well Johnson how about Jeremiah rifles sitting in a Church with this guy but once a year -- and claiming that he didn't know the ambassador Bill Clinton -- is idyllic area -- after a judge -- got -- of Americans are at least.

Yeah they'll put that. I handed setup of thunderstorms.

Thanks for the good job hey you know Miguel thank -- the -- access anyway the other you know -- that's got to the whole big thing.

Right I'm sorry but he's right. Another thing is no Obama not even that doesn't work program Obama in his party cares where we're handed over fifteen million dollars to improve education in Chicago. In -- In the states for leadership. To propagate. Socialist -- is too young kids. Not from more prudent thing to do with the education. That they originally chartered to do. No capacity to kind of crap that we get this guy he's a total wider use of fake. Because you can't say well please give me the when he -- we -- math and science scores and endorse his leadership. And a bunch all the stuff they had nothing to do with the structure.

And expensive form of community or how about exactly how money going to pull out -- Edinburgh a -- speech that they just turn it over here maybe I asked him what do you -- do I -- before I mean that what Henry's bar like it's just McArthur I mean all these guys -- it's a conservative rich guys make the money they put it in these foundations and then. Lefties get all the that do this -- only one target to one of right was old. Yeah frank foundation -- you know and here is a fat free market principles I actually -- be surprising news but I actually like Barack Obama's instrument health -- I think that we are the only industrialized nation in the world where health care is a privilege not a right and I think it ought to be the other way around I think health -- ought to be right what do you mean by a right what do you mean by privileges every single and everybody camps. Help care but unfortunately -- any of the students in the emergency room -- level -- but warrant and they should get the same level and you know we're -- release it off topic in terms of the sacrifice but even as -- very good at January and and you know this you know the answer this question. -- it is a constitutional right it does have to be equivalent. How do you provide health care without bankrupting the country that is going to make it reputed -- just -- get the same pet health -- that that deceive the CEO of state street Beckett is education right. A free and adequate public education is a constitutional rights that we -- get the same level of education Tom. You know that they don't. But people don't get the same jeweler where were you just have to -- union about just had a supreme court of Massachusetts all my fault. There that they cast equalized what's going on between and it -- I don't have a Willie -- it will it will try an -- know how successful that's been in Vermont what a disaster that that.

It you know we can strive for quality and it's it's never going to be a 100% equal and that's who I think we can do a better job with -- you went. When some woman -- can't get get do what -- Barack Obama and I thought he talked very eloquently and passionately about his own mother's experience. Which she's 53 years all the 51 years old was dying in the -- once she's Laura and I have just been terrible.

Political and emotional pull of that but I would run something I write 700 -- little that every national rights for all of us and -- lawlessness. They have individual freedoms protections of us from government you -- it now in making a constitutional right. I am the recipient of -- and -- by the way. I want to have a yeah sex change operation because a nose job that needs. This is not -- but. You you opened yourself up to petition after petition only got to draw the line the only way to do it would not happy about it and no thought of how do you put -- I'll tell you right over the constitutional right where are you hot -- apparently relying on hold a limit -- course you can put a limit you put limits on. Everything we you know yeah it's actually not quite well how volatility ought to be able to natural usually at the time so you think you can make health cure right that everybody has a right to whatever cosmetic surgery they want that's what I'm wondering you an idea adrenaline. That's a good idea because I've got to record what I gonna have to tell you guys -- a hair transplants and hopefully better when their life you know I have to finish we're we're gonna get those scholars -- from Wakefield good -- re ally yeah.

Want to miss this for a -- where does this studio we don't need heat on this moment. This. Operation well it was just an example you'll probably loans that don't got carried away with the right here -- I like golf from the red -- SS president nuclear waste if this has Damian up they get buried in my backyard. Yeah it does that this the patriot via it is so he's willing to sacrifice sleep aren't you kids gonna be easier to. Oh yeah all these we need like so everything you -- I. -- Malaysia where his sense of the debate --

I was very very disappointed -- McCain Mike guy put he's drop in the ball badly. I think he had come out swinging I -- you know you at this particular point he can't worry about -- the crisis being cranky old guy. He's he's appearing to be bought goal you know it's. He's got to go after this guy he got to be went went but Barack Obama talks about the failed bush. Economics. While listening just bush this is both potty. You know McCain should have stood up there are pointed out the guys were there ahead of the banking committee in the in this in the Senate. In the house and say you know this is the failure of both parties where not to Independent in terms of our fossil fuel this is the fault of both.

Heidi I was into interesting too because he does have I think the more legitimate claim to. Bipartisan potential by -- activity behavior and bipartisan potential for the future if beset a pox on both the houses right there's plenty of blame to go around I think both the American public actually buys into that neither the -- is another -- a bit of a great right.

Did that downfall to all of this that downfall is that I don't think anybody's really talking about this. We're becoming dissatisfied with this so called two party system it appears to me the ball parties letting us down. In this going to be a rise of an Independent party now the libertarians have always been on the outskirts if attractive a lot of people who are constitution less. And you know and in conservative people you know the that party could grow or they could be another party they'll that will replace the mid terms of that would should've at third party. These all all parties are are are really fallen down on the child.

I agree with -- went out and everybody in the primaries are probably that's the we we always hear this that we gonna have a third party in the realities is that the way the structure in this country is is that it's not going to happen.

Yeah but it could happen to often -- look at the history of -- country the you know we initially it didn't even. Have a political party to be given what.

No you're you're on the right track the problem is is that you right now have the republic craft crafts in the dammit -- You know I mean their their virtually except in the left wing which right now is about to -- you know in between palsy and read. But if you take you know the center of the Democratic Party and you take that most of the Republican Party that's actually pretty representative.

Put our -- larger point I think is -- the need for bipartisanship. Cooperation in Washington and and elsewhere around the country and I think it's overdue and -- hopeful that whoever is the next president that. He will take that responsibility very sure well sort of another Reagan -- won't know days that I.

And I know I know ideal to ideal time as big that the speakers have big reader but and you know I hear people talk about this you know partisanship -- Nasty politics all the time today it's nastier than ever. You know go back and read the biographies of John Adams now have a better handle this vicious Jefferson. And he gently place at about everything abolitionist cause -- who was Adams vice president had somebody -- in a libel battle was. --
