John McCain looked like, and acted, like a president in the first televised debate this evening, while Obama was very stern and steely-eyed, he did not have the ready smile or easy command of the facts that McCain did.
Obama's inexperience showed, as he was constantly snipping and sniveling at McCain, and mainly repeating familiar Democratic talking points in an attempt to parry McCain's thrusts.
The hardbitten liberal JIm Lehrer, the very nominally objective moderator of the debate, did his best to cut McCain off when he was scoring points, and to keep Obama in the debate, but McCain was still able to overcome the double whammy.
Just as McCain was the leader in going back to Washington to do what he could in the Wall Street bail-out debate, while Obama said he was staying in touch by phone, McCain showed again in tonight's debate that he is a leader and Obama a follower.
The Democratic lie to try and over for Obama's incompetence in the bail-out debate, that a deal was in place until McCain came back and screwed it up--is just that, a lie. Ohio Sen. Sherrod Brown, a rookie Democrat, let the cat out of the bag, pointing out that no deal was in place for McCain to screw up.
As expected, the liberal mass media is doing its best to cut down McCain and build up the pedestrian performance of Barack Obama. But the voters saw what actually happened, and the media spin won't cover it over.
