I'm making this short and sweet because it's time for bed.
-Weird how close they were sitting to each other.
-Didn't like Hilary whining about lack of fun & lack of sleep on campaign trail.

-Humorous exchange about "rejecting" vs. "denouncing" support from Louis Farrakhan went in Obama's favor. Tomato/to-mah-to. Obama was very clear on where he stood with Farrakhan, who claims to support him.
-Didn't like Hilary's explanation/(evasion?) about her undisclosed tax return and the five million she lent her campaign and where it came from.
-Don't buy into Hilary's "looking mothers in the eye and feeling their pain..." when they have exorbitant health care bills for their child. I appreciate that she genuinely cares about health care but don't think she can possibly fathom what the experience is like from her place of privilege.
-Found offensive a local female blogger who was interviewed after the debate and who said Hilary didn't come across as "shrill." No male candidate would EVER be described as shrill(or not shrill).
-Thought it was a great exchange, they both held their own, but Obama "won." Of course I am biased because I'm rooting for him. He comes off as a sincere thoughtful compassionate intelligent person. She comes off as a "politician."
Nighty-night.

F'ing ditto. Or should I say, MF ditto?
I think Obama is going to be president. He seems very nice, I also liked Mit Romney and I am finding that Hilary seems more humane than I thought. I haven't seen the debates but I hear she doesn't fair well as Obama.
I don't think privilege keeps people from true compassion if raised with love.
Though it's harder not to spoil a child if you have the money to do so.
Maybe when you are a famous writer they might say the same for Riley
When she is out doing good in the world. I hope your books sell well.
I hope your life is full of light and light.
Thanks for the run down since I missed it (was out seeing live music).
Although, I'm not a big Hillary fan, I do find it really offensive when they use words like shrill. As if they'd ever say those things about a man.
I listened to one of the earlier debates, and have to admit I was kind of touched by the fact that there were two candidates who both sounded fairly human to me, who I could relate to to some extent. I feel hopeful about the whole thing, though more so about Obama.
I agree with the comment that privilege doesn't necessarily keep people from having true compassion, but I also agree that a lot of that "I feel your pain" stuff is lip service. In a way it's not the point, the point is what they will actually do about it.
Love to you.
