Another missed opportunity for Obama to put McCain's desperate campaign out of its misery. How he should have answered the questions:

1. On McCain's reminder that two years ago he had supported some questionable earmarks, including an overhead projector for a planetarium in Chicago:

“Say it ain't so, John! There you go pointing backwards again!”

2. On McCain's endlessly repeated mantra about how important it is to put an end to exuberant spending, greed and excess:

“I agree with senator McCain - let's start by bringing the number of his houses and cars to single digits.”

3. On McCain's claim that his heroic bipartisan record has prompted him to reach time and again across the isle:

“So you're the one who's been slapping me, while I'm taking notes during sessions.”

4. On McCain telling us with a straight face that he will give each of us $5,000 for health care while taxing employee benefits and with these gas money we can go out to shop and buy whatever insurance we like:

“HAHAHAHA!!!”

5. On saying that Obama is against nuclear energy and every time it's brought up he starts talking about "safe disposal and other stuff like that...":

“ I am all about nuclear energy and the disposal is not an issue because under my policy all used plutonium will be disposed in immediate proximity of whatever house senator McCain lives in currently.”

6. On his statement that right now the world is an extremely dangerous place and there's no time for having someone in the White House that is "training on the job":

“I agree with Governor Palin...sorry, I meant senator McCain.”
