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

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.
