Pres Debates #2


Well, to start off... I will quote Kevin Carmony (don't know who he is.. but he had my exact thought) :
"If I hear John McCain say "my friends" one more time, I think I'll have to turn off the TV and Radio until it's safe to come back out again."


Anyways,
This debate was kind of hard to watch. I noticed that my Dad wasn't even watching it about half way through, and when I asked why he just replied that he had to turn it off because he couldn't take anymore of it. I think both candidates could have 'stepped their game up' on this one, and taken the opportunity to really address the serious questions American people have about our economy right now. They need to show to us the SPECIFIC things they will do in order to improve things, and that it makes them the better candidate. It's not all about making the other one seem worse, because right now neither of them are the perfect person for the job in my eyes. This is such a serious election too, and we need to be able to put faith that one of them can keep our country from crashing. It seemed that almost all of the people in the forum asked similar questions, just re worded but all revolving around if America can overcome this economic crisis. This is obviously what's on everyone's mind and they need to address this.

And let me just add that I CANT wait to see the SNL skit for this one :)
the VP debate skit is pretty good too if you havent already seen it..

My friends I can't wait to see who they will get to impersonate Tom Brokaw! Seriously though this debate might not have been all that strong but I did see value in the town hall style. What question would you have asked?
