post-debate thoughts #4

McCain says how Obama's plan involves spending millions of dollars, but the Iraq war that McCain voted for has cost us almost a trillion dollars. 

doh!

post-debate thoughts #3

About Iraq:
Obama: I'm against it from the beginning, we should've caught Bin Laden
McCain: It could've been alot worse & we're winning

I think it's interesting that Obama's rhetoric is a whole lot more severe during this part of the debate. 
"I will not hesitate to you use military force"

McCain doesn't really present plans in these debates at least. He does seem to be more on his A-game today though. He's a whole lot more aggressive and his attacks are pretty hard (even though they're still counter intuitive) and resolute. Obama has all of these steps which seem pretty comprehensive but seem a little dodgy to me.

I guess it's because McCain's rhetoric is war-like in nature still, like Dave always says. He gives me this foreboding feeling of if we don't ___ or ____ we're doomed for death. But Obama makes me feel a little less panicked, at least in the way he describes his plans.

Again, maybe McCain is changing his image again, as more of the maverick/independent:
"Republicans came to change Washington, but Washington changed us"


He is alot more straightforward this time around- If you notice, he uses the word "change" a bunch.

Its funny how as soon as the debate was over on FOX News they attacked Obama and praised McCain. They also stated how McCain showed restrain against Obamas furrious attacks which is just crazy it you accually watched the debate.

First, I'm surprised McCain showed up.

One thing that stands out is the whole Russia debate: Both of them support Georgia, yet don't want to start a war. I wonder why they're making such a big deal out of it. I have to say Ron Paul put it best:



Obama: I think he's smart by connecting Iraq w/spending, instead of the "war is right/wrong" debate.

It's good that Obama is finally explaining himself about Iran in more depth.

Obama wants to restore the Perspective of America. Do the other countries really hate us that much?
