The Debate

What I learned:

1. Obama kept getting this speck of white spit on his lower lip. It was disconcerting.

2. McCain said he differs from Bush (no way) and that he idolized Reagan (blech.)

3. Obama will tax the rich and give tax cuts to the middle class.

4. McCain will tax the middle class and give tax cuts to the rich.

5. McCain says he has experience, intellect and judgment which Obama doesn't have.

6. Obama says that he has intellect, judgment and is ready to lead.

7. McCain says that he will increase off shore drilling to cut our dependence on foreign oil.

8. Obama says he will invest in solar, wind and nuclear energy to cut our dependence on foreign oil.

9. Obama says this economic crisis is the worst since 1929.

10. McCain says this economic crisis is the worst since 1929--and he should know because he was there, wearing a flapper dress and drinking bootleg whiskey.

mccain needed to make eye contact with obama. he didn't look at him once and had his body turned away. this waa a debate, dammit.
i was tired of hearing all the places mccain has been. we need to worry about our shit here at home first. has he been to the back alleys and main streets of america where businesses are closing daily?
obama took the walk across the stage with michelle to shake johns hand. mccain seemed stand offish to me.
i watched the whole debate. i must be a grown up now.

As an outsider looking in with no real interest in the actual debate or the outcome, could i just say that I think you all see what you expect to see.I am sure I am the same with british Politics, but its strikes me there's not many open minds watching the debates. Although credit where credits due none of you is an inane fuckwit

at least obama still has bodily fluids. mccain looks a bit dried up to me.

We watched the whole thing too and I just can't stand McCain's voice. Is he monotone or what? I doubt this debate changed anyone's mind-it sure didn't change mine. We need details from both of them.
