Obama talks straight from his own thoughts, while McCain's eyes are always looking down at a script or teleprompter.

McCain has a bad memory, or maybe his mind tends to wander and he might make up a fact or two as he goes along. The notes keep his senile brain on track.
Like the story of the cross in the sand - a story that was written about in a book before McCain 'thought' of it.
Sometimes old minds get confused - did it happen to me, or was it someone else?
He was 5th from the bottom of his class.
Bush was a horrible student, too.
Can't the Republicans pick a person with brains for the highest office?
Or, do they think cute snappy answers to complex problems are the only way to appeal to the American public? Are we really all that dumb to be fooled again by this crowd of fanatics?

when you don't read from a prepared statement, you sound like this. although, I am pretty sure this was a prepared statement. the problem? prepared by an idiot, for an idiot, and recited by an idiot.

you have seen obama in debates right? he's pathetic. he is good at delivering the words of someone else, when he has had weeks to prepare, but clinton smoked him in the debates. he's a rookie.

Can't remember Clinton "smoking him". One line glib answers do not solve problems but only please the crowd.

Why does McCain read from a script? So he doesn't sound like Obama... talk for hours but never say a da** thing. I'm still trying to figure out where Obama stands on more than half the issues I'm concerned with... but then again, I'm sure he's still trying to figure out where he stands on them, too.

oh, so you aren't for the one line crowd pleasing lines huh? sure you wouldn't like to "change" your opinion on that, or is that "change you can believe in?"

The only change that McCain likes is when he is going "back to the future"

McCain???? Have you listened to Obama when he doesn't have a teleprompter? He's as bad as Bush! Uh,Uh,Uh I-I-I-I-I- Um,Um,Um,Um
Plus he consistently gets facts completely wrong. You gotta be kidding me with this guy. He's a media darling with no substance at all.
