Watching Debate or going out?

I was home on Friday with a decision to make. Go out and do the night time thing with a fair maiden or watch a debate that is important to the future of this great country? I chose watching the debate. Years ago I would have said, to heck with the debates and had a good time instead. But America faces a crisis that is the by product of gross mismanagement and corruption by the current administration. Trust me, when the Bush era is over people we look back and be able to count every mistep and bad decision this regime made. From the blatant disregard for the constitution to the lack of fiscal responsibility.

Ok enough, ecomoic and political "mombo jombo". I watched the debate between Barrak Obama and John McCain and came away with some points......

McCain spent too much time referncing Former President Ronald Regan. A man who most 20 somethings have no real knowledge about.

McCain could not look Obama in the face. A lack of eye contact usually means deception or lack of confidence. He is a respected war hero, but on that day he looked ill equipped to lead the country.

McCain also never gave credit to Obama for anything he said or did. He came across as an old man berrating his younger son. Obama at least gave credit multiple times to his opponent.

Obama looked the more diplomatic. The country needs someone who will do more research before going into unwinnable situations and at least can get the support of the rest of the world. America more than ever needs a leader who can rally allies and gain international support.

Good debate, despite the host almost messing it up with his ramblings. If I wanted to hear him talk alot, I would have listened to him on PBS. I have never watched PBS for longer than 10 minutes. Ever!

I can't wait for round 2.
