That's a repeat of Bush. Obama is an intellectual, and it says quite a bit about those who think being intellectually astute is a bad thing. Thinking before you speak is never a bad thing, regardless of circumstance. This isn't a game of jeopardy.

I also think that Rick Warren did a great job, with balanced and probing questions ... questions which any legitimate candidate for President of the United States should have already wrestled with on his own, way before arriving at this debate. Therefore, why did Obama respond to the questions as if it was the first time he has ever considered these points. John McCain's immediate and decisive answers show that he had already given a great deal of thought to real concerns, as posed in these questions ... where as Obama had to take the time to stutter and deliberate over the same questions asked of McCain. This was very revealing, and so were the Obama camp's accusations of cheating, after Obama lost the debate ... just another indication that Obama is a sore loser who is not qualified to lead this country ... and, McCain is.

Take a look at McCain "answering" an unexpected question, and his responses at Saddleback, and decide if he was cheating at Saddleback. http://www.citizensugar.com/1790561 I was taken back by how quick and thoughtlessly McCain’s answered questions at Saddleback, compared to his inability to respond, or even remain composed, when asked an unexpected question about insurance coverage for Viagra a male product, but no coverage for birth control for women.
