Comparing Bracelets

OK, it's come to this: Both candidates have shown (we assume, we're only getting the audio – so maybe Nixon will win this one) & compared bracelets that they wear honoring or commemorating or something some poor fucking sap who couldn't find a decent job & ended up dying or at least serving in Iraq or Afghanistan or wherever the secret wars are for the same country that wouldn't give him a job. "Look, I have a bracelet too." McCain brings up his "League of Democracies." Who also control a lot of the world's economic power. And will sanction the shit out of the Iranians, So there. Heh-heh. Unless those democracies are so busy making money w/ Iran that they don't care. Then McCain says they have a lousy gov't. so their economy stinks. (That makes the sanctions really hurt!!) Excuse me, dude, looked in your economic mirror lately? Hope someone else catches him on this. McCain: blah blah blah... Obama: Annnnd, blah-blah-blah-blah blah blah...

So true . . . Obama would have to do something very heinous to lose any votes, so he has nothing to lose, really; he should smackdown on McCain, point out that McCain was wrong, wrong, wrong, and (seriously, here) say to McCain: "Look at me." McCain did not look at Obama, not even when Lehrer did the intro biz, and not when Lehrer asked McCain to talk directly to Obama.

Plus, if you were only listening to this on radio, you didn't see McCain looking like a mean, grumpy old man: "You kids get off my lawn!"

We kept hearing on the post-mortems of this magical event that J. Sidney III wouldn't look anyone in the eye. Even w/ Lehrer telling him, he couldn't look anyone in the eye? What deep psychological troubles do we have here?
