Remind me never to watch a debate on CNN again! Those screen monitors that can gauge which statements were the most effective to an audience of men & women was totally distracting! But, let me get to the moments I liked the most. First, let's get to the zingers! One of the best retorts of the night was when McCain said, " I am not George Bush, Senator Obama"! If you wanted to run against him, you should have ran 4 years ago."
Barack Obama's best zinger pertained to "Joe,the plumber"that was McCain's example of a small business owner. Because Joe kept being addressed by McCain, Senator Obama retorted," I'd like to talk to Joe too, if you're out there." Pretty damn snazzy comeback, Senator Obama. So, the next time McCain speaks it is with anger. McCain says, "Joe, you're rich! Congratulations". Now, this was in response to Obama telling him that he would exempt smaller businesses from being taxed. The tax cuts would apply to the larger ones. But, I think it was inappropriate to even use the word "rich" in this sour economy.
What I found was when it came to the health plan issue, McCain spent more time talking against Obama's plan then he did detailing his own.That's because he knows his plan is not worth discussing. Barack Obama has a superior health plan.Was it a freudian slip or intentional when McCain said Senator Government then went to talk about how government was too big? But the Roe V. Wade part of the debate should really concern women. John McCain's position is just plain scary & he seems to have a total disregard for women. Issues like abortion & equal pay are two things he seems to oppose.
Barack Obama had me worried for the first 20 minutes. But in the end, he was presidential which should obliterate John McCain.He is winning so far & bringing up William Ayers did nothing to change the flow of the game.Of course, John McCain was smug & I don't think he looked presidential at all. He just looked combative and angry as usual. McCain shouldn't be running the country. McCain proved that to me tonight & apparently some undecided voters! More on that in my next posting.
