First Debate Between Obama and McCain

The first presidential debate between McCain and Obama was last night. I give them both a score of B+. I don't feel like either side "won." I guess there is more to be lost than there is to be gained, so the campaigns for each man can feel pleased that their man didn't say anything really dumb and just totally blow it.

It worries me that Obama is having to move so far to the right. For example when McCain scorned him about not believing that we are actually winning the war in Iraq, Obama should have answered by saying something to the effect of, “Yes you senile old fool. Any one with half a brain can see that we are absolutely not winning in Iraq any more than we did in Vietnam.” A big part of Obama’s popularity is because people think he is going to get us out of these futile and costly wars. Iraq and Afghanistan. But the longer this drags out the less likely that looks.

Regarding health care Obama now talks about making sure that affordable health care is available to everyone. Making that statement is light years away from saying that he will do everything in his power to assure that there is universal health care. That everyone living in America will receive government paid health care, like the socialized medicine system called Medicare currently provides for old folks.

Obama is going to have a difficult time winning at this rate.

The only good news is Palin is looking worse all the time. It now is clear that McCain has always had an eye for pretty women (it used to be called lust or coveting). -
