BTR's YouTube Coverage

I'll be out tonight and will miss the YouTube-sponsored debate for the Democratic presidential primary candidates tonight, but BlogTalkRadio will have its own recap later this evening. My colleague Frank at Political Vindication Radio will have a recap at 8 pm PT/11 pm ET tonight, and the details are at Heading Right. If the debate doesn't interest you, Andrea Shea-King will interview Jerome Corsi at 9 pm ET and John Bootie, an independent Christian running for President.

I would like to see all the candidates address the United States’ commitment to the United Nation’s Millennium Development Goals, which call for cutting world hunger in half by 2015 and eliminating it altogether by 2025. Indeed, it is estimated that the expenditure of a mere $19 billion would eliminate starvation and malnutrition worldwide. In a time when the current defense budget is $522 billion, the goal of eradicating world hunger is clearly well within reach and it is my hope that whoever becomes president in 2008 addresses this pressing issue.

Maybe Richerson will not look drunks this time and not ramble incoherently like he did in the last debate.

I see where Obama is leading the pack in the Drudge vote for best debate performance.
If this doesn't show you how gullible the average voter is nothing will. His every answer was a cliché and scripted. He didn't deal with anything substantively but gave sugar coated answers that would appeal to the idiots in the audience.
It is enough to make you cry to think Americans are so desperate they would look to this no experience wannabe for national leadership.
I fear for the Republic my friends.

The most credible answers of the night came from the person of Chris Dodd. But I doubt many will notice.

From watching the streaming version the point which will not play well in flyover america will be the tepid at best response by both the audience and the candidates to the memorial moment for the lost Citadel graduates.

That will not sit well with a lot of people.

While the U.S. government and media keep focusing on defense policies, campaign advertisement and the war in Iraq, 1.2 billion people in the world continue surviving on less than $1 dollar a day. I would like to our current “president” and the political leaders behind him, support more international problems that affect our place in this world, such as global poverty. We should not forget the commitment made towards the U.N. Millennium Goals (a pact of ending extreme world hunger by the year 2025) in 2000. While the U.S. government and media keep focusing on defense policies and the war in Iraq, 1.2 billion people in the world continue surviving on less than $1 dollar a day. According to The Borgen Project, an annual $19 billion dollars is needed to eliminate half of the extreme poverty affecting the world by the year 2015. To my sense, it is almost unacceptable to have spent so far more than $340 billion in Iraq only, when we have more than war immunities to change the world and eliminate poverty.

It is very important that the presidential candidates will be addressing questions from youtube and the general public. Allow so far, most media attnention has focused on the war in Iraq, there are topics of critical concerns I would like our candidate to address. Issues such as Global Poverty should be one of the main concerns of all the presidential candidates. As one of the nation that has pledge to fulfill the goals of Millienium Development Project, whose goal is the elimination of world hunger and poverty, this administration has not shown any substantial action to bring this fundamental problem to a stop. According to the Borgen Project, dedicated to fighting and ending Poverty around the world, only $19 billion dollars are needed annually to stop world wide poverty, hunger and malnutrition. However, more than $340 billion dollars has been poured into this “war on terror.” And each year, our country has a military budge of $522 billion dollars. It's time for a new leader who will be addressing an issues that affects 1.2 billion people everyday worldwide.

Mr cropper sayeth:

"It is enough to make you cry to think Americans are so desperate they would look to this no experience wannabe for national leadership."

You talk of lack of experience - yet Lincoln had no more than Obama.

You talk of cliche/ and sugercoating - isn't that what Bush did when he ran in 2000?

and speaking of Bush - a man with an IQ lower than that of a Turnip - Obama with his utter lack of experience would HAVE to be an improvement over the utter retard we've had as Commander in Chief these last 8 long years..................


oh ya - your fear is noted. ;-).

Ending poverty is certainly utopian. Maybe we could funnel all of this spam with its 'borgen project' seasoning to the cause.

gaffo, I'm waiting for you to post up your own full CV including GPA so we can see who the real "retard" is. Your eloquence and nuance gives me a good idea of what we'd find there...

Posted by gaffo | July 24, 2007 6:10 PM

Fred, don't blame me that you got dooped into voting for a Turnip for President of the United States!

you should be ashamed of yourself.

-sucker.
