Listening to the Saddleback Forum was a great experience for this voter. Senator Obama confirmed his grace; John McCain burnished his credentials to be President of the United States and Pastor Rick Warren schooled the Talking Heads of Cable and the Networks on how to conduct contol of an intelligent, witty, incisive and satisfying forum for candidates to the most important Office in the Free World.
Time's Mark Halperin gave both Candidates a well-deserved A- Composite Grade, but Summa Cum Laude praise goes to the man who devloped, hosted and conducted the best political forum that I have ever heard.
Rev. Rick Warren stole the show!

Obama confirmed that he might be an affable academic whose sonorous measured words cause sleep in the most awake person.
ReplyDeleteBut John McCain confirmed that he has the experience and clarity and verve to be POTUS and CINC.
CKA said it so well, I can't improve upon his comments, except to add: as a former Democrat now avidly supporting McCain, I was so glad to see McCain's concise, rapid-fire responses finally put to rest the ridiculous notion that "he's too old to be president." He showed what a wealth of experience and insight he will bring as this nation's next CIC.
