Nearly every major issue facing America went unaddressed while moderators obsessed over flag pins, bitter-gate, and Obama's former preacher. Nakedly pro-Hillary and substance-free, it was terrible even by the embarrassingly low standard of American political debates.","body","

The financial crisis
The collapse of housing values in the US and around the world
Health care
Energy
Immigration
Education
Trade
Pakistan
Afghanistan
Iran
China
Torture
Global warming
The world food crisis
The declining value of the US Dollar

\n\n

Things that were:

Whether Obama thinks people in small towns are \"bitter\"
Whether Obama should have walked out of his preacher's church
Whether Obama supports Weather Underground, a terrorist group who were last operational over 30 years ago
Whether Obama isn't patriotic because he doesn't wear a flag-pin in his lapel
How Obama intends to modify affirmative action so rich black kids don't get special treatment
Whether the candidates support gun control
How the candidates plan to get out of Iraq
Whether the candidates will raise taxes, and how exactly

\n\n

In all, nearly substance-free and pretty nakedly pro-Hillary. ABC's debates are terrible even by the very low standard of American political debates.","updated",["D",1208389007000],"created",["D",1208389007000],"codename","things_that_were_not_discussed_in_tonights_debate","legacy_id","published",["D",1208389007000],"draft",false,"actionData","errors"]
