1. Oh deary me! And she might be acting President one day... The acting Commander-in-Chief!

    We didn't really get decent debate coverage down here... who really won and were there any policy announcements made that were actually meaningful?

    Well, I've heard/read that Obama won, but also read that it was a draw. No one has come out and said that McCain won, except for McCain himself.

  4. And here is another important thing to consider...

    If McCain can't look at Obama in a debate, how the fuck can we trust him to negotiate with world leaders. That dog don't hunt!

    That was a good reaction to what McCain was saying IMO. McCain mentioned his bracelet and that the mother asked him not to let his son's death be in vain. But that's no reason to stay in Iraq or to leave Iraq...I mean, US policy shouldn't be based on what an emotional mother has said. I was hoping for Obama to point this out in a good way, without hurting anyone's feelings, and that was a good way. Yes, I have a bracelet too, from a mother, and she asked me not to let anyone else go through this, meaning, leave Iraq...aaaand, no soldier dies in vain.

    I think you're right...but it just didn't sound right the way he put it. It was almost like "well, I have one too!"

    lol....Venezuela and Bolivia steal your oil company's?


  11. yeah. Last year I guess, our oil company (Petrobras), that explore gas in Bolivia, and export it to Brazil was literaly stolen. Mr Morales told his police officers to invade the company and close it. The gas prices were high and our smart presidend did'nt do a thing. I happened again in Equador I guess, with another Brazilian company called Odebretch
