First of all, I just want everyone who reads this to know that I am an avid Barack Obama Supporter.
Last night’s debate followed the patterns of the previous 2 debates, in that both men did better in each successive debate.
Last night was no different.
John McCain was better then he had been in the previous 2 debates, but he did not “kick Senator Obama’s you know what” in this debate.
And in order for last night’s debate to be a significant game changer, he would have had to.
In the first part of the debate, I thought that John McCain was magnificent in differentiating his policies and procedures from those of Barack Obama.
During McCain’s Reign, Senator Obama was not active enough in repudiating the statements that John McCain was making, which started to make me uneasy and anxious.
I especially liked McCain’s statement about “I am not President Bush. If you wanted to run against George Bush, you should have run 4 years ago”. This was his most memorable statement out of all 3 debates.
However, once Obama got started towards the middle of the debate, I was quite impressed with his ability and his agility at pushing back against the smears that John McCain was trying to disguise as a sincere desire for the truth.
I was also very impressed with the clarity of Obama’s economic policies, and his explanation of his health care policies.
In my opinion, he was very effective at communicating his message to the American People.
And I liked Obama’s response to McCain’s statement about getting him mixed up with George Bush, because of his continuous support of The Bush Policies.
What I think separated the 2 man was the contrast in the level of disdain and disrespect on the part of John McCain, which was written all over his face; and the cool, calm and collective posture which Senator Obama maintained throughout the debate, even when accused of actions that were either not under his control, or that he had already addressed earlier in the week, or that he had already addressed during the primaries, issues like Bill Ayers.
In the final analysis, I would have to agree with the polls that Senator Obama came out on top of this debate by a better margin then he had in the last 2.
But in all due respect to Senator McCain, I thought that he did an excellent job also.
And if it were not for his anger issues, and the fact that I know that a John McCain/Sarah Palin Administration will continue to do what all Republican Administrations do, which is to talk about how the government should not be involved in the problems and concerns of American Citizens, and then talk about how important it is for the government to jump in and help the major corporations that are hurting with more tax breaks; it would have been much harder to pick a winner.
I also know they say the government should not be called upon to do everything; but when it comes to a sensitive personal issue like abortion, they then want to be involved with the problems and concerns of a woman, who has a very difficult decision to make, that should be between her, GOD, her family, her doctor, and maybe the father.
All of sudden they want to dictate her decision to her through legislation.
So I think that the reason that most of the polls are saying Barack Obama won, is because most people want a change, and more people liked what Barack Obama was saying, as opposed to what John McCain was saying.
