McCain Debate Questioner: "I Actually Did" Know Fannie" You know the black kid?

[Ichingcarpenter]

I tried to get in touch via Facebook with Oliver Clark, the man who McCain said probably didn't know what Fannie Mae was before the financial crisis (at Tuesday's debate). Apparently others have done the same. He just posted the following on his Facebook page:


How did I feel about Sen. McCain stating "You probably never heard of Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac before this."
Well Senator, I actually did. I like to think of myself as a fairly intelligent person. I have a bachelor degree in Political Science from Tennessee State, so I try to keep myself up to date with current affairs. I have a Master degree in Legal Studies from Southern Illinois University, a few years in law school, and I am currently pursuing a Master in Public Administration from the University of Memphis.

In defense of the Senator from Arizona I would say he is an older guy, and may have made an underestimation of my age. Honest mistake. However, it could be because I am a young African-American male. Whatever the case may be it was somewhat condescending regardless of my age to make an assumption regarding whether I was knowledgeable about Fannie Mae and Freddie Mae

OK....... but given this black student's background.

HOW THE HELL IS HE AN UNDECIDED VOTER???

Oh, and McCain is a condensing bastard.

1. i don't get undecideds at this point. shit or get off the pot.

4. He has a degree in political science and law classes? WTF?

Was he a plant? I can't believe he was an undecided voter.

2. You don't need to refer to him as "the black kid."

[Ichingcarpenter]

5. Hey, he's a kid and I'm an old fart ...... he's younger than my children.

Go away

9. His name is Oliver Clark

And if he is old enough to Vote he past the thresold for being called a kid!
I am not Offended, However, some may be calling a grown man a "black Kid" is a little to close to boy.

But I ain't mad at you

6. I see, in the subject line.

10. I don't think he meant it in a disparing way, the guy was young... but...

But I'd guess he was at least in his mid twenties, maybe late 20s. I'd describe him as a young black man.

3. LOL, did you condense 'condescending'?

I noticed that patronizing tone of McCain's during the debate and was repulsed. I'm glad Oliver Clark spoke out.

7. In the article, he says that he was most likely voting for Obama.

But when asked if he might change his mind, said "anything is possible". I wouldn't truly count that as an undecided voter.

If it came out that Barack was a wife beating child molester who gave money to Bin Laden, he'd lose my vote and I'm a pretty rabid supporter.

I wouldn't vote for McCain either, though. I just wouldn't vote at all.

8. Well, I thought he was great but before the debate I questioned the screening process

My brother said all I had to do to get on was to say I was undecided.
Now, some in that crowd I could understand why they were undecided (moronic question)
or attention seekers.

You know, in the next debate all the networks will have their 'undecided voter' panel.
The next panels we see in the last debate on TV will be even more unbelievable.
