1. You're right - this was AFTER the forum ...

Don't know if it was after Bomb Bomb was
finished, though.

He is DEFINITELY pushing back -- calling some
claims outright LIES (YOU GO, OBAMA!!!!!).

[LSK]

2. he was talking about being up there tonite

[HeeBGBz]

3. "Let's call a spade a spade..."

Who is this little weasel interviewer?

[Spazito]

6. Oh geez, get this, he is CNN newest "recruit" for reporting on

religious issues. My bet is his background comes straight from the fundies.

[RamboLiberal]

7. I think he's a CBN (Christian Broadcast Network) correspondent

Wow - I liked how Obama got forceful on the false rumor he signed on to a bill to a viable infant from abortion not get treatment.

4. are they done with Obama? just tuned into audio feed:

[Thrill]

5. I caught the end of it. What did he ask Obama? Whatever it was. It pissed Obama off

[Spazito]

9. It was about a bill during Obama's time as a state Senator...

The rabid fundie right have been out and out lying about Obama's position on it. The bill was a subversive attempt to undermine Roe vs Wade under the cover of care for newborns. Obama called them on it without equivocation, called them liars.

10. That the right to life people were saying that he voted against support for babies

He said it was a lie. What happened is they put reversing Roe V Wade into a bill, and that is what he voted against

[LSK]

13. Im going to have to remember that

Even thou I suspected some poison pill was in there.

[jenmito]

11. He asked him about his vote "for letting babies die if they're born alive after a

botched abortion" (paraphrased).

8. David Brody-"The straight-talk express had a full tank of gas tonight."

This is the guy from the CBN who just interviewed Obama, calling HIS answers "nuanced" and McCain's answers "direct," adding that during the interview, Obama was more animated than he's ever seen him.

[still_one]

12. agreed, I heard that bullshit also. mccain hardley answered a direct question /nt

[jenmito]

14. Yup. Apparently, the media didn't CARE what McCain's answers were-just that he

talked about his POW days, "has a great story to tell," blah blah blah.
