9/26/08 Pres. Debate: Obama Calls Out John McCain for Being WRONG on Iraq


Debate moderator Jim Lehrer, who did an excellent job, was tying to get the candidates to talk directly to each other, with limited success. This time when McCain lead with his "surging" right, Obama stood squarely, looked McCain dead in the eye, and blocked his punch with a 2007 to 2003 move to the left. Then with the precision of a surgeon, obama delivered two hard right "You Were Wrongs" and a final left "You Were Wrong" uppercut that sent McCain to the canvas for the count.

I tell ya, I was ring side and it was a thing of beauty. Obama floating like a butter fly and stinging like a bee. The kind of thing you tell your children about.
