The Nation (a liberal rag in the US) scores it against Obama!

Obama-- Minimalist Debater?

If elected, Senator Obama has the chance to be a transformational president. His election, if followed through with smart and just policies, could turn a page on the reckless and destructive ones of the extremist Bush Administration. But tonight he showed himself to be a raging minimalist.

Verdict on Obama: Mealymouthed, Pathetic

The Nation -- If, God forbid, foreign policy had to be the deciding factor in choosing between Barack Obama and John McCain, then last night's terrible showing by Obama would make me a Ralph Nader voter in a heartbeat. Obama's performance was nothing short of pathetic, and only a Democratic-leaning analysts and voters with blinders on could suggest that Obama won the debate. More important, he utterly blew a chance to draw a stark contrast with John McCain on America's approach to the world.

Obama's Missed Moment

The Nation -- My bottom line on Friday's debate: Barack Obama failed to step up to the historic moment. He made perfunctory remarks about the massive banking bailout facing the political system, but he decided not to speak to the American people with anything resembling forceful honesty and clarity. McCain wasn't any better. Both men faced a gut check in their campaign and both of them flinched.

Just tell us that you don't like Obama and spare us the rest.

Obama already said before that debate how the bailout should be handled...... that if the taxpayers have to pay the losses than they are not just taxpayers but INVESTORS therefore they have to get something back in return. I do agree 100%.

I do read The Nation periodically. I want to hear various points of view. But tossing dirt around is simply a cheap, often acted, Republican tactic. If you have no valid points then make them up I guess.
