3rd Presidents' debate

Compared to the last limpid, yawn, masquerading as a debate, this 3rd edition of Obama-McCain verbal confrontations was extremely lively. McCain was in fine form, flashing a relentless series of sanctimonious smirks at all of his opponents measured answers. It appeared that McCain was completely contemptuous of all Obama's answers. Every single one. This patronizing behavior only reinforces his nauseating hypocrisy when informing the American public that he understands that the public is "angry" at the economic crisis. He doesn't understand anything. How can a man who can't remember that he owns 7 homes understand the plight of people who were unable to make mortgage payments truly understand this? I can understand him laying out his economic strategy (or at least trying to) but please do not tell us that you understand the anger, frustration, pain, stress, despair that besets families which have lost homes and/or retirement savings. Therein lies the basic difference between the candidates. Obama doesn't try to explain to us how he "knows' what the American public feels, instead he pounds us unceasingly with his plans and proposals. He further tells us how his opponent's plans appear to favor the wealthy. This is slightly more palatable and constructive than McCain's constant reference to his audience as "my friends" and telling them that he knows how they feel or whats best for them and Joe the Plumber.
