ionelvJoe the plumber does not have a plumber license, and is not nearly as rich as McCain claimed, but Sam would like to dream that one day he'll be rich enough to buy a business with $280,000 taxable income and bitch that he'd pay $600 more in taxes under Obama than McCain's tax plan and $1600 less in taxes than the current plan... Nough said about pipe dreams!
On the whole, the debate was better than the previous, although not much better. They did mention free trade, and Obama said that he'll protect the American worker when he signs new deals: I gotta give it to him, he knows how to put lipstick on a pig.
But then I found the Alfred Smith Foundation roasts in which Obama and McCain roasted each other one day later. This is the same dinner where eight years ago, Bush delivered the famous "The haves and the have-mores. Some people call you the elite. I call you my base." I thought these roasts were better than all the debates put together. First McCain roasted Obama (14 mins), and right after that, Obama returned the favor (14 mins).
The best line was when Obama admitted he was not born in a manger, but he does come from Krypton, he is Jor-El's son and he's here to save planet Earth. It's funny on a subtler level as well, because his alter-ego is just another JC isomorphism, as Jor-El's son's name is Kal-El (קל-אל) which means "voice of God".
