I know the dirty little games lawyers play all to well and what Obama did here was play three little dirty lawyer tricks...first, the specialty of his as he did with the religion saddleback..."that is not what I meant to say" - which is what John called "parsing words". Second, use the opposing parties witnesees to suggest they disagree with you. That is simply not the case as Kissenger clarified. Third, the boomerang, McCain will not engage in any talks whatsoever which is ludicrous.

I know what he said before and I know what he said tonight and I stand by my assessment that his statements taken in total were an overt lie.

Obamba is lucky that he had a weak debater as an opponent. For example, when Obam says he was agaisnt the wwar, I would simply have argued that he was an Illinois State Senator wihtout responsibility for decisionmaking, the he was not privy to all of the information including some incorrect intelligence that the House and Seante was given and finally, he was not htere alongside all of the fellow Democrats that supported it.
