Honestly, do you think Obama is nervous right now?

[senseandsensibility]

I have never seen him nervous or even uncomfortable.

[babylonsister]

1. Yes. He is human; there's a lot riding on this. nt

[mtnsnake]

11. I agree, sis. If he's not nervous, he's not human

The trick will be not to show it too much. He's so brilliant, that his smarts will automatically take over for him and then the nervousness will vanish.

[TheWraith]

31. Are we sure he is human?

I'm half joking, but I think back to what that woman said about Obama in the recent magazine article: In 20 years of knowing him, she'd never even seen him yell.

[ChimpersMcSmirkers]

18. No doubt. But he always pulls it out, time and time again.

I think he's going to do very well tonight.

[billyoc]

2. A little.

[Curtland1015]

3. I bet I'm a hell of a lot more nervous than he is.

[Longhorn Jack]

44. I'm with you on that one!

I'm practically biting my fingernails. I'm glad Barack is a lot cooler than a lot of us are. Even if he is nervous, he does a great job of looking cool and collected. When he said that America needs for the candidates to do this debate (in response to McSame's suggestion that the debate be delayed), he seemed like he was really LO0KING FORWARD to this thing.

Can't wait to see him mop the floor with McSame.

[tridim]

4. I don't know how he does it, but I bet he's less nervous than I am.

And I'm just sitting at a desk typing shit.

[Thrill]

5. No. Obama just spoke to over 80,000 people and millions watching at home

this is a piece of cake for him

[FreeState]

6. He knows how to handle it well but anyone would naturally be nervous IMO n/t

[Muttocracy]

7. remember when his medical records were released - pulse of a superathlete

I've seen him uncomfortable, mostly when asked idiotic questions by Charlie and George at that debate w/ Hillary. But yeah, he's a calm, steady force.

[saracat]

8. I am sure he is. He is too smart not to be. But I am sure he will not let it show. Only a stupid

person wouldn't be nervous.

[Erin Elizabeth]

9. When they said it was an hour before the debate,

I thought of him and sort of put myself in his shoes and felt like I was going to throw up. But that's me.

[Muttocracy]

14. ditto. nt

[senseandsensibility]

35. I think I'd be face down at this point

but that's why he's where is and I'm not. LOL.

[Betsy Ross]

10. Of course he's nervous.

But he looks good!

[calico1]

12. No. He's had a lot of time to rehearse and

his body language shows he is confident.

Can someone tell me who played MCain in the debate practice?

[Ikonoklast]

26. I think it was this guy

[oviedodem]

13. You have to be; it is only natural.

[JBoy]

15. The expectations on Obama are extremely high, so I would expect some nerves.

[Triana]

16. I'm certain he is. But he's performed very well under such pressure before..

...that is what makes him such a great candidate and what will make him a great President.

[BeyondGeography]

17. Good nervous

[DCBob]

19. A good kind of nervous, I think he is anxious to make this happen.

This is another big step to victory.

[Clio the Leo]

20. In his wallet is a picture that he found on the Internet .........

... it shows the 2008 Democratic Presidential Nominee, pointing to the camera and saying.....

"Chill the f***!!!! YOU got this!!!!" ;)

[HysteryDiagnosis]

21. Some say "weak on foreign policy" and from what I have seen

from those who are strong on foreign policy is that they have a propensity for invading nations without provocation, torturing and imprisoning without charges, and bombing wedding parties on a fairly regular basis.

90 dead civilians in Afghanistan last week is no small accomplishment for those who are strong on foreign policy. Screw 'em. If that's what it means to be strong on foreign policy then I'll pass.

[livetohike]

22. It's good to be a little nervous - keeps you on your toes

But he won't be "falling apart nervous". McCain might be that.

[krawhitham]

23. Yes

he has to be

[Marnieworld]

24. I think he was born for this.

I bet he's excited and can't wait to get out there. Nervous implies some fear and I've never sensed that from him. He's ready to go. It's gametime!

[RollWithIt]

32. He's a polymath....

A person of great learning in several fields of study. He was indeed born for this.

[RollWithIt]

25. Is Lebron James nervous when the game starts? Nope....

And make no mistake about it, Obama is the political Lebron James. The chosen one. The King.

[Marnieworld]

34. Exactly

I picture Obama now rubbing his hands in baby powder and throwing it up. No fear!

[RollWithIt]

42. Actually, did you know that...

Lebron James endorsed Obama and donated the limit to the DNC? James, who grew up in Akron and plays in Cleveland, has also contributed over 5 million dollars to social programs throughout Northeast Ohio in just his first 5 years in the league.

[Marnieworld]

45. Doesn't surprise me

I watch Lebron every chance I get.

[pleah]

27. No!

:)

[Maureen1322]

28. Obama might be nervous, but they just changed McCain's depends

for the third time.

[Jennicut]

29. Nope. I now some here don't like astrology but he is a Leo

Leos are born leaders and they do not get nervous easily!

[Catshrink]

30. Nervous?

Not when you look this good.

[senseandsensibility]

37. That's the pic that's got tweety all jealous

lol

[Catshrink]

39. Did he get a tingle in his leg?

[gblady]

40. HAWT!

:loveya:

[sammytko]

33. of course he is - nt

[Sparkly]

36. Probably a little... that's only natural.

But I'm sure he knows how to deal with that and work with it.

[napi21]

38. Only a fool is not nervous before a national event like this! And

Obama is NO FOOL! Compare it to riding a motorcycle. All cyclists get butterflies once in a while. When the Butterflies disappear, you die!

[bac511]

41. not as nervous as McSame...n/t

[bdamomma]

43. I bet Michelle gave him her fist hit!!!!!!!!!!
