Obama vs. McCain - 200 words

According to the article in CNN, Obama and McCain were debating for the most qualified presidential candidate. Throughout the night, they have been criticizing and making false accusations of each other. “‘Sen. Obama refuses to acknowledge that we are winning in Iraq,’ McCain said. Obama responded, ‘that's not true; that's not true.’ He blasted McCain as having been wrong about the war at the start, saying McCain had failed to anticipate the uprising against U.S. forces and violence between rival religious groups in the country.” During the debate, topics that emerged were government spending, the bailout proposal, future terrorist attacks, relations with Russia, Iran, and Iraq. McCain criticized Obama for not supporting the troops in Iraq but Obama counters by saying that the war started five years ago and McCain claimed that it was going to be quick and easy. McCain tried to portray himself as the more qualified candidate by saying that he’s been overseas many times and has more experience in that area. Although they had their differences, they did agree on some stuff like the country being safer than before and a non-nuclear Iran. Obama also comments on how some of McCain’s are crude and rough. He always links McCain to President Bush’s current ideas and issues making him look bad seeing how the country currently is under Bush.
