There goes one of the lizardy tongue-juts from McCain that Colbert covered after the last debate.

In the shots of McCain during Obama's answers you can practically see his lips twitching as he reminds himself "smile, don't look angry, smile, don't look angry, doesn't play well..."

Whenever Democrats (not just Obama, most House and Senate candidates as well) start talking about how if you have insurance, you get to keep it, but if you don't you should be able to buy something equivalent to what members of Congress get, I think it sounds like a bad deal for an awful lot of people who already have crappy insurance.

After all those primary debates in which Obama was hit for not having mandates in his healthcare plan, McCain hits him for having them. McCain meanwhile flat lying about his plan, making it sound like he's, you know, interested in helping people get healthcare. Which, for the record, not so much.
