Obama calls his questioner by name, and makes the question about Mess-O-Potamia. His answer is smart and rational. In the first debate, Obama was able to use this issue to sound tougher on terrorism than McCain. Now he's trying to do it again.
Mac: "Teddy Roosevelt is my hero." Then he Walks Softly and Talks a Big Stick. Again, I don't think this argument works against Obama, regardless of its merits, because he's trying to rebut Obama's "I will go in there and kill Bin Laden" argument. Oh, and I visited Waziristan. Yes, John, we know.
Kefluffle about followups.
O: "Nobody called for the invasion of Pakistan." Calls McCain on some of his own rash statements, and puts him on the defensive.
"I'll get Osama my friends." Open wide, puppies.
Bottom line short answer to the question, should we go after Al-Qaeda in Pakistan?
O: "Yes."
M: "I've been to Waziristan."
So far, I haven't seen a game-changer.
