3. I haven't watched many debates. Is he always that uneasy?
That's quite a contrast from the in command aura he presents during prepared speeches.

4. THE QUESTION IS WHY DID HE CHANGE,
With all of them, when they change the question is who is paying them to change. Oh well, I prefer the other two.

5. I Favor Single Payer Too
it's unfortunate that the powers to be apparently corrupted his idea of what Universal Health Care should be about in America. The Power of $$. No biggie....I'm punching the Kucinich button on the Diebold machine.

6. Hes already explained this and you know it . STOP THE LIES!
He said THAT IF HE COULD START FROM FUCKING SCRATCH HE WOULD FAVOR IT but SINCE HE CANT START FROM SCRATCH HIS PLAN IS DIFFERENT.

There is no lie except from you and your fucking canidate who you reflect so well.


And since you are quoting the debate last night it means that you obviously watched Barack Obama say these exact things.

You are pathetic

7. Yes, but before that he said....
what he said before. And, what he said in the debate wasn't the same thing he said before.

And- why can't he start from scratch?
Because ya dance with who brung ya.
Back in the day, he spoke his mind-now he's bought and paid for. He doesn't even speak for himself any more. I certainly don't expect him to speak for any of us.

Personally, I would like to see whoever gets elected start from scratch.

9. What HillaryInc left out...
...from the complete video, which is here ---> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aAz0qzes8hI

"But as all of you know, we may not get there immediately. Because first we gotta take back the White House and we gotta take back the Senate and we gotta take back the House."

10. We've taken back Congress and Obama intends to take back the White House
So why isn't he advocating single-payer now?

12. So why doesn't Obama say NOW that if we take over those branches...
we should implement single payer system?

I think Obama lied.
