Presidential Debate

I don’t think that there was a winner because niether Obama nor McCain answered the question, niether one seemed passionate or anger toward the economic crisis.

Both candidates outlined their agenda if they were to be voted president, such as health care, economy and war. Obama talks about Americans being in the worst financial crisis since the great depression. He mentions that we should have a rescue package and that tax payers should be getting their money back and treated as investors. Obama also talks about the middle class also having a rescue package, which would mean cutting taxes and helping home owners, keep their homes. He talks about fixing health care and the energy system that is putting a burden on families.
McCain talks about energy independence, that we should stop sending about 700billion dollars to countries that don’t even like as very much. That we have to stop spending money because we are in a 10trillion dollar debt and about 500billion of that we own to China. McCain also talks about not raising taxes on anyone that they should stay low. He wants to have a package that brings peace in the world.

What surprised me most about the debate was how the candidates kept pointing fingers at each other. That the candidates were not arguing back and forth it was pretty much contained. You could tell that they wanted to correct what the other was saying or follow up but they were close on time.
