Presidential Debate. 26 Sept. 2008

I watched this at home.

The issues: Afganistan, energy, taxes, health care, Iraq, Iran, Immigration

My issue of education was briefly mentioned by Obama when he stated that he plans to enforce the No Child Left Behind Act, focusing on early childhood education. Obama can definitely help our children like he helped Chicago residents. I can even help Obama work toward better education and schooling for children of America.

John McCain appears more intelligent. He speaks to the middle man and Obama looks at the camera, like an actor playing a part. McCain is experienced and proves this through and through, leaving Obama scrounging for News facts and recent headlines is his dust. Obama can't seem to get over mentioning "The Bush Administration" regarding John McCain. Has Obama run out of puns to throw at McCain? McCain stands with dignity and enormously smiles at Obama's attempts, like listen young-ins, I learned how to handle bullies on the playground when I was beat up and tortured in Vietnam. Veterans were brought to light in this debate and John McCain is the man to ensure Veteran well-being, he is one, Obama can't touch facts. Obama talks only about "the middle class" and rising up and curing poverty. Obama, good luck. McCain focuses on wealth as a whole country, not categorizing people into classes, and how we can all repair and strive together. McCain uses his marker, probably Sharpie, to jot notes that he openly flips for America to see, like he has nothing to hide. He is not worried so much about placement and hitting his mark as he is about positively influencing America. What I see on stage is the common American battle between adolescence and older people. McCain is more experienced. McCain should get the job. McCain is more wise. McCain has seen more, met more people, traveled more, made his mark in history. I don't care if he's old, old is intelligent. McCain's intelligence is in America. I do like Obama and commend him for his great accomplishments and note worthy endeavors, but in this running I support history and involvement. I am too young to know a fraction of what McCain knows. In itself that is commendable. Obama learns through studying what McCain has experienced.
