Presidential Debate - 200 words

According to a CNN article and the Huffington Post, during the debate John McCain and Barack Obama went at each other but there was no clear winner in the end. In the beginning of the debate they both discussed the nation's economy and then foreign policy. In the article, it states that Obama was more comfortable on the topic of the nation's economy than McCain. There were polls that showed the people would rather have Obama when it comes to economy and McCain when it comes to terrorism and Iraq. This is because Obama cares about what the people want and don't want. Obama tries to connect with everyone to solve their economic problems. They argued and criticized each other about who said what and who voted for what. Obama made many good points that are better for the people and about higher taxes. McCain made points about spending control is needed for the economy. When it comes to experience and foreign policy, McCain is more comfortable and more knowledgeable. They discussed Iraq and Senator McCain says that "Obama did not support the surge of U.S. troops into the country." Obama states back that "the war in Iraq did not begin last year but in 2003." During the debate McCain was on the attack frequently, which puts Obama in the defensive position. In the end, McCain's main argument is that Obama lacks experience, while Obama tries to tie McCain to the Bush Administration.
