[DMacTX]

but Obama was much better than Romney, that's for sure.

1. Yes I agree with you.

2. I do not remember his prior speech. This one was great and I believe better than Romney; but,

admittedly, I am sure as Hell prejudiced.

3. In 2008...

McCain and Obama were U.S. Senators. Tonight, one is the President of the U.S., the other a wannabe.

4. The fact is...

That McCain is a nice guy. Political views aside, I think he and Obama respected each other and probably liked each other. President Obama is clearly a kind person and I think it's probably hard for him to deal with a vile, evil human being like Romney.

I think for him it's gone past just wanting to win re-election. I think he is deeply concerned for this country if he doesn't win re-election.

6. Well, say what you will about McCain, he had a pretty good sense of humor

which is evident by his friendliness with SNL, Letterman and the Daily Show folks over the years.

whereas Willard's sense of humor is pinning down a guy and cutting off his hair, or tripping his daughter-in-law during a race.
