Okay...a little fun here...what prods, psychological tricks, so on can Obama to do enrage McBush?

[HardWorkingDem]

What sort of things could Obama do in the next debate to ensure McBush shows that nasty little temper of his?

I'd like to hear him whisper to him, "Hey, John, I can call you John, right? Let's get a little mavericky tonight."

Or cough and say, "Keating Five" while coughing.

Or how about, "Hey, I saw that video tape of where you were looking when you introduced Palin as your VP. Does Cindy know you're tapping that?" (I know it's sexist, but I'm sorry. McCain is such a turd).

Or how about when they shake hands, Obama would kind of keep raising his hand a bit too high for McCain to shake it (oh, that is a cruel one).

1. He could bring out his key chain and say McCain doesn't

understand the keys to the economy because he said the fundamentals of the economy were good.

12. Love that !! Keys to the economy !! //nt

[sunnystarr]

2. Nice addition to your beauty queen collection John! (nt)

[gmoney]

7. "Have you served Cindy the divorce papers yet?"

"Or are you waiting until you've proposed to your new soulmate?"

[seabeyond]

3. i like "Let's get a little mavericky tonight." .... n/t

[JimboDem]

10. 'Gee John, Your Camp Leaks Like Your Prostate.'

..dontcha know.... wink..wink.:evilgrin:

[Lucy Goosey]

13. Me, too. McCain would get really pissed to hear Obama ...

make light of the word "maverick"

[Cirque du So-What]

4. Mention that 'John McCain wants to roll the dice with your SS funds'

[gmoney]

5. "John, isn't a maverick a lost cow?"

[Giant Robot]

6. I have some thoughts

But really they are just too mean.

[Marsala]

8. Hit him on his record with veterans

That would be brutal. McCain obviously takes his status as a veteran very seriously. To be called out on that by Obama on national TV would enrage him.

[PM7nj]

9. Jingle his car keys in McCain's face.

:P

[liberal N proud]

11. Stay on subject, keeping the campaign focused on the economy

If Obama keeps talking about the economy and tying McCain to bu$h's economic failures he will lose it and explode.

Obama almost had him in the first debate. He needs to get him to explode in this one. Because the last one which is moderated by Brokaw will be a fucking JOKE!

[secondwind]

14. At this point, just showing up and "lookin' good" ought to suffice!

:rofl:

[Motown_Johnny]

15. Bible quotes would freak him out but good. maybe about bearing false witness

or about how only God can truly defeat evil.

That kind of thing.

16. If McBush looks directly at Obama this time

Obama could say, "Oh, I see that you've been instructed to look at me this time. Why did your campaign team decide to make that change?"

(Johnny likes to pretend he has control and that no one tells him what to do, so that could rile him.)

[Mist]

17. Well, we know Obama won't go for the "let's get mavericky tonight," so he should

hit McCan't on his truly poor record on vet affairs.

On edit: Perhaps the "rolling dice with Social Security funds" would resonate strongly at this particular time.

[No Elephants]

18. None. Obama needs to continue to be No Drama Obama, in contrast to the

puerile, erratic and volatile McCain. One looks ready for the Oval Office, the other does not even look ready for a shout out to the third grade.

[NightWatcher]

19. wink and blow kisses at him, even though he wont look back at Obama

[HardWorkingDem]

21. Now this is something he could do off camera...

debates are similar to boxing matches. When they shake hands, Obama could wink at McCain with the eye that isn't being filmed. That would be great....

[randr]

20. Just call him a traitor and ask him to explain his disrespect for Vets
