Debate

Don't you love how no one looks happy in the background of the debate. They are probably told not to show favoritism but come on, there are people yawning constantly and most of them look uninterested. I'd love to be there.

• I love the idea of incentives for being "green"
• Obama keeps on saying that the government should be like a family on a tight budget, when we don't' have a lot of money we should cut down on things (he used the allusion of a family cutting down on eating out when money is tight.)
• McCain says "my friends" constantly. McCain said that Obama wants to raise taxes and that 50% of those increases will go to small businesses. He also said that he is not going to give tax cuts to the wealthy.
• Obama's tax plan- "I want to provide a tax cut for 95% of Americans. Only a few percent make 200,000 dollars a year, they will get tax cuts with my plan." Obama says McCain will give CEO's tax cuts, God debates are confusing !!!!!!
• Can I keep a tally of the number of times McCain says "my friends." lol. I actually agree with McCain on some of these issues. This is why politics are so confusing. Now McCain says Obama has never cut taxes.
• McCain says our planet is damaged. He disagrees with the Bush Administration on climate change. He says nuclear power is our answer. What about wind energy ? Solar energy ? I heard this women talking about it on Sunday and she said she refused to vote for someone who only thought nuclear power was the answer .....
• Obama's Energy Plan - Solar energy, wind energy, hydro power , and nuclear power as a possibility. "we cannot drill ourselves out of this crisis." I TOTALLY AGREE !
• Basically I think both of these candidates will be better than Bush ....

I grew up in a household of democrats. For this debate I am trying be open minded but I am having a hard time. I hear my parents constantly talking about how Obama is the right choice and I volunteer at FC so I hear the democrats side more than the republicans. I have this stereotypical view of republicans and I apologize. Some of you do care about the environment and are very educated. I wish I could talk about politics with non democrats without feeling like I have to defend my every statement.

Okay neither of them are paying attention to time, Tom is getting pissed. OMG ! Obama just follow the gosh darn time limit ! McCain follow the time limit !
