    I was surprised (and frankly horrified and disturbed) that CNN's post debate commentary criticized Obama for doing so asking people if he seemed too "wonkish or professorial". I honestly think we are headed for a cultural revolution some times. As a duel Ph.D family, I keep waiting for the truck to pull up and take us "troublemaker eggheads" off somewhere. :huh:
    Yes, I have never understood this desire to elect the "common man" (woman) as our president!

    I want the most knowledgeable, educated, experienced person we can find. And if that person happened to make some money as a result, isn't that a positive trait? On the other hand, I can see how a disadvantaged upbringing would inform a candidate's agenda.
    Sorry -

          I thought McCain was referring to the incredible starvation and malnutrition in North Korea due to their leader's policies (such as feed the army and starve everyone else). :huh: I guess people who aren't aware of that situation wouldn't realize what he was referencing.

            I'm aware of the situation, but thought McCain's delivery of that line was just so comical.

              ITA. It was definitely a case of "well...we know what you mean". When you are looking to tear someone down, these are easy hits. I think Biden gets that a lot. I did know what McCain meant as well.

              North Korea - in general - is not a good source for laughs.

                I'll be voting for "that one" in November, my friends.
