Hillary had the best line of the debate |
|
She was asked about her promise to create 5 million jobs. Apparently, when running for Senate in 200, she promised to create 200 thousand jobs in upstate New York, a region which has since seen a net loss of 30 thousand jobs. She answered, "In 2000, I thought Al Gore was going to be President.":rofl:

2. Well, he was elected President but was blocked from taking office.... |
|
IMHO.
Yeah, good line. If Gore had been President, we would have seen all those jobs and more.
I like Obama, but it seems Obama supporters forget the economic success that Clinton/Gore represented. I don't know how Obama is going to do what he Hopes to do. Team Clinton have a track record.
YES WE CAN!
OK, How will we?
But I still will vote Obama over McBush.

3. They should have asked if the 5M jobs will be there with Barack as President. |

6. Well, actually it is in a way... |
|
1> because the president holds great power over the economy.
2> because the presidency was stolen from Gore.
3> because Gore would not have done what W did to destroy this country.
4> because it shows humor
5> because it shows humility (yeah, I was wrong, but I was wrong about Gore taking his rightful office too).

7. She made that projection thinking Al Gore |
|
would be the next President, not *bush. No one in the Democratic party even imagined *bush would steal the 2000 Election.

I was surprised it did not draw applause.
My favorite line of the debate from a personal standpoint was when Obama said he wouldn't be there if it weren't for the Jews who participated in the civil rights movement. I found that very heartwarming.
