DEBATE LAST NIGHT

The debate was a disappointment. From the lackluster effort of the moderator to Obama dancing and dancing (good dancer) to McCain failing to use or create openings which would illustrate to all but the most dedicated Obama lover the shortcomings of BO, the “debate” was hardly worth watching. And, Linden was disappointed.

One thing is now clearly etched in Linden’s mind: Governor Sarah Palin is clearly the class of the four who are involved in this contest and just may have the gumption it would take to steer John McCain out of the shoals that will face any leader of this great country. Actually, another thing is clear: Choosing a sitting Senator to be President is a bad idea with the only thing worse being choosing two of them as a team.

Linden was unimpressed with the first question and the answers but the second question/answer solidified his low opinion of Obama. The question was “who will you name as Treasury Secretary.” McCain answered, “Meg Whitman” and then hazarded a guess that Obama might consider Warren Buffett. Obama said that Buffet would not be a bad choice then went into his “Bush is bad” oft repeated standard answer. He never answered the question! This became standard.

Linden would have loved to hear a learned discussion of the probability that Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, Barack Obama, Franklin Raines and other leading democrats were, through their active support of Fanny Mae and Freddie Mac forcing banks to make inappropriate loans, largely responsible for the current worldwide financial crisis and the lessened hopes that individual investors and pension plans have for their financial future. It was not to be!

Of course, those mentioned in the preceding paragraph were very well paid for their failure and dishonesty. Come on Sarah!
