the presidential debate 2008 =D

My first article that I read on the presidential debate was on CNNpolitics and they said that neither Obama nor McCain was able to strongly defend their party. The debate focused on the economy, the financial crisis, and foreign policy. The first question started with the financial crisis. Senator Obama made good points on where he stands on the topic. He lists possible plans on how to fix and restore our financial problems. According to CNN, “Obama seemed more comfortable on this topic than McCain, and it showed.” I agree with CNN because the first sentence that McCain said in response to the question was to mention about Kennedy being in the hospital. I thought that was not needed to be said right at the beginning. According to the second article that I read, at zimbio, McCain made it seem like Obama just wanted to win the election, but afterward had no intention on executing the plans that he made to help the United States come back from our bad economy and foreign policy. The polls on CNN say that more people believe that Obama will be able to help the economy and McCain will give very powerful thoughts on what we should do about foreign policy. At the end of the debate, there was no obvious winner, but it definitely stirred up excitement for the next presidential debate.
