It's Obama's fault because he was asked the question first.

Had Obama answered the question... McCain would of been forced to answer it or be seen as "dodging" an issue that Obama answered truthfully.  It would of hurt him.

While if McCain answered after Obama answered... it wouldn't look as dodging because Obama was the first one to define the question.

If McCain answered the question then Obama would have looked like he was dodging the subject.

They both did the same thing, its silly to blame one over the other.

No he wouldn't of... because Obama answered the question first.  It's a difference in how debating works.  Obama's answer is already out there and "judged" by the people listening.

At most he'd be hit on the rebound, and could avoid it rather eaisly by throwing in a few token answers.

It's the difference in the flow of debate.  If McCain had received the question first, he would of been the one at fault.
