thoughts on the presidential debate
During this debate McCain repeatedly states what he believes Obama "doesn't understand" I found it quite amusing because after each of those statement's Obama makes it clear how much he really does understand. It seemed like McCain was on offence and Obama was on defence the entire debate. However, everytime McCain came at him seemingly about to score Obama shot the ball back down like "uh uh I don't think so". One thing McCain states is that Obama doesn't understand the difference between "tactic and strategy" (concerning the war) Obama replies "I absolutely understand the difference between tactics and strategy. And the strategic question that the president has to ask is not whether or not we are employing a particular approach in the country once we have made the decision to be there." Obama pointed out the the flaws in the Bush administration and makes it clear that Mcain was clearly wrong about the war. Obama also made his case for change in our economy and foreign policy. Throughout the debate Obama stood his ground while McCain tried to badger him and point out a bunch of half truths, which Obama finishes and clears up every time. Obama clearly has a wealth of knowlege on foreign policy. He did well tonight...It's not looking so good for McCain...look out America change is coming, and his name is Obama!
