Debate 3

Before the debate, I read about that this is going to be an exciting new format. Not podium, not townhall, but face to face sitting down in round table. Oh so it is actually the typical Meet-the-Press format. (The table isn't exactly round.)

Everyone's general observation is this: McCain is angry; Obama is calm.

McCain's attempt to associate Obama with former terrorists and stuff backfired. Negative ads are poor tactics.

When McCain tries to jab Obama, he smiles. When Obama jabs McCain, his eyes roll, as if you forgot to put detergent in your laundry before you hit start.

Patience is a virtue, especially as the country leader and perhaps world leader position.

Whose plans are actually going to work? Is the plan that each candidate propose actually good or bad?
It is hard to tell. Joe the Plumber is going to be better off with which candidate?

What I see is this: both candidates TOGETHER, along with the president, are not able to get that 700 billion dollar bill passed the first time. After all, the president is not the king. It takes cooperation from the whole congress too.

It takes the entire government to agree on things before anything can be passed, and I am afraid neither candidate can do that.

With less than a few weeks remaining, McCain's poll score doesn't look that good. That election map shows Obama may already have 270 electoral votes needed. Perhaps it is time for America to completely change course. But I am afraid that we won't be able to change, because it takes more than the president.
