This debate showed that despite the repeated statement from Senator Mcain of Obama’s understanding of the situations at hand, Obama clearly showed he understands and is ready to confront these issues with different strategies.

The debate started so strong with Barack Obama statements. Every genuine person could see that John McCain was making a lot of false statements. Towards the end of the debate, he tried to over control his chance to speak and was just rude in my eyes. He has no manners even with the man that was asking the questions. Barack Obama was very educated and on his plans for us and explained his strategy to complete his project clearly. It seems that McCain talks in circles just like his VP Candidate and hope that people don’t catch him talking about the same Bush strategies (or not even answering the question). I strongly believe that the people that are going to vote for McCain will do so no matter what his plans for our future will be. One thing that I wish Obama would not have said was “McCain you are right” over and over again because the Republicans just used that against him. McCain main statement was that “Barack doesn’t understand” and that was bull! We all need to know that we have to all vote because this race is about race and we have to know that our vote counts to finally see a change and an educated caring man in office!

I watched the debates and I agreed mostly with Obama, John McCain was clearly going in circles. His visons seemed just the same as Bush’s, no change. McCain was all about the past, who he known for so long, or he has much experience that Obama. John was stumbling on his words and didn’t have a clear eye on how he is going to handle things if elected. Obama is the real man in this debate, he is educated, intelligent, smart, knows his way around congress and the senate, he even looked John in the eye through out the whole debate, and not one time did John look in Obama’s face and listen to his plans. A real man looks a person in the eye and say what they need on know, John Mccain failed, and Obama won,

Hi, The debate was awesome. Mccain is inconsiderate and out of touch with reality. He was very condescending and sounded like I was listening to my grandfather tell me war stories. I don’t want to hear about what happened 30 years ago. Please talk about whats going on now. All the Repulican or whomever decide to vote for Mccain is mental. If your middle class and vote for Mccain and Palin. (who) your a fool. This country is falling to the bottom and we need to maintain the intergrity of the United States of America. As a veteran, Mccain is embarrassing. The proof is in the pudding, we all know that Mccain is ridiculous., look who he selected for a VP. He spoke of experience, but selected a very much inexperience women for his Vice precidency. MUMMM.. Obama on the other hand was very knowledgeable about foreign policies. You can’t expect Neither candidate to answer the question about where they stand on the bailout when ,you don’t have any details of the plan, that like creating a death sentence. Obama understands whats going on in society and Mccain dont comprehend a educated conversation. He continually misused Obama’s statement keeping him on defense, but he held his own. How is America the greatest import and exportor when we owe China how much money?? Mccain talk about getting spending under control and how the government changed them instead of them considering the middle class.

personally i think americans need to wake up and start caring about the future of their chilldren and themselves and stop letting this be about race or personal preference. it is clear that mcain donot have a plan that will benefit the working class american people. straight

There is a lot that the American people need to wake up and realize. And it is not an issue of which is the better candidate. We need to educate ourselves on what is REALLY going on in this country. Elections are a distraction. We need to realize that no matter who is elected, the ELITE…the true controllers of this country are in power. Not the President and definitely not the People. It is the “Creatures from Jekyll Island.”

It was disrespectful that Mccain choose not to make eye contact with
his opponent; even while critizing him. will mccain choose not to
look at the economic issues that we are facing? When you look your
opponent (or problematic issues) in the face you show that you have
nothing to hide about your intentions for your country. it reveals
honesty… and determination to get to the root of things, setting
aside the ego.
There was nothing wrong with Obama calling mccain “John”. Obama is a
man who strips through titles and wants to get to the heart of
things. which shows virtue on his part. John is as personal as you
can get to senetor Mccain. AMERICA DO WE KNOW JOHN? and what he will
do for our country!?
The Rock obama

I agree with Lavette, I felt like McCain was my grandfather talking to me around the fireplace. I was very proud of Obama. He clearly outlined his points and, as was previously stated, maintained eye contact with both McCain and the citizens watching the broadcast. I really liked how he spoke about the military situation as a whole, and I couldn’t understand why McCain couldn’t get that Obama was trying to say that you can’t expect to solve the problem of terrorism if the terrorists are still running around! It is also clear that if you are not involved in the military or big business, McCain has no plans for you, you don’t exist so forget it. Lastly, Obama’s point about how the US image has deteriorated to the rest of the world is right on. It’s much easier to have people’s support because they respect you, not because they fear you…and if you make friends, less people would be looking to do you harm. Obama already had my vote, but the fact that he held his ground and conducted himself in a classier manner than McCain makes me much more hopeful that he’ll get elected and I won’t have to move to France…otherwise, I can’t stay!

One thing that really made me mad was that McCain wouldn’t even look at Obama. Whenever Obama spoke, McCain didn’t even acknowledge him at all. I just think that was really rude. The least he could do was look at Obama when he spoke, that just proves how racist he is.

Financial crisis looms. $700 Billion… maybe more, hangs in the balance. What are these guys going to do and who is the blame? The Consumer Lending Act of 1994 forced banks to give loans to people who did not qualify. This was a major factor that brought us to the HUGE financial crisis we are in today.

There are 308 million people currently residing in the United States. There are only 183 million out of the 308 million that pay taxes when you factor out children, people on welfare, illegals, etc… So now we have 183 million people carrying the weight of an additional $700 Billion. Wow.

The wealthy in this country pay 95 percent of those taxes. Every year I get a tax refund check. I pay very little to the government when it is all said and done. The top 10 percent of this country pays an enormous amount of taxes. Business owners, ceo’s, etc…

It would seem to me that in order to stimulate the economy you would not add an additional 40% to those who already carry most of the load, but that is exactly what Barak Hussein Obama wants to do.
He then wants to give that extra money to those who are poor. It is the old socialist policy of redistribution of wealth. How did that policy end up working out in the U.S.S.R.? Will it stimulate economic growth or bring the economy further to its knees?

Should we punish those in society who have worked so very hard and give their money to others who did not earn it? Should we punish success? I am not too sure that is such a good idea. If we do this then I am afraid that we will become a welfare state… in some ways we already are. People who don’t want to educate themselves or work hard still somehow have a huge sense of entitlement.

What happens when you give money to people with no education that have not worked for that money? What happens to an uneducated, underachiever who wins the lottery? He or she is broke in 5 years….sometimes sooner.

The government should not reward laziness and/or financial mismanagement. We need smaller government that will let the markets correct themselves. Just look at Washington Mutual. The largest bank in U.S. history just fell and look what happened…. they were bought out. Maybe the same could happen with Fannie, Freddie, and the rest… I dunno? Instead of a “bailout” could we instead rely on “buyouts”?

I am not an economist, I may as well be just a dumb rodeo clown, but I don’t think that it takes a financial genius to see where this is all headed.

What do you guys think?

Barak Hussein Obama- enough said.

Interesting debate with no Knockout punches.

Barack came off as knowledgable and understanding of the issues and won the first half while McCain kept Obama on the defensive in the second part.

Overall very slight edge to McCain

sen McCain saided that sen obama just did not under stand things and sen obama said that sen McCain was right about alot of things also sen obama wants to invade pakistan that would be no differnt than want bush did with iraq and sen obama said that pubicly on tv i live in a area were there are alot pakistan people and their ethnic groups of people and the comments are that that war would spread not a good thing for the economy in america .

Ok now they need to call him Barry. Barry Bonds! He just knocked it out of the park. McSame needed to have a big win. This was his most knowledgeable area. He lost ! Mc Same thought he could go up there on the podium and just wing it. He was intimidated by a younger, smarter and more educated man. Oh not looking Barak in the face, showed he is scared. If, this country doesnt vote or him in November its for one reason only. Go Barak take it to him again!
