I thought Obama killed McCain. Obama was calm, concise and stuck with his game plan. McCain missed several attempts to catch Obama but failed to make any good points.
Case in point. Early on a woman asked why she should trust either politician because both parties were to blame for the mess we were in today.
Obama started with some honest talk about families faced with economic trouble and how they cut back spending by not going out to eat as often and not buying a new car and that is how they cope and make ends meet. He later in his answer stated that his government would deal with the crisis by spending...Yes spending on health-care and other programs. McCain should have jumped all over that.
One other missed opportunity McCain had was when the moderator asked if the economy would take another downturn once the recovery bill was put into place. Obama said he did not think so and was positive. McCain said he was not sure and it depended on what we (America) did...Here is where he could have said it could get worse if Obama gets elected and taxes the very businesses we need to get on the road to a recovery and jobs creation.
Obama won and in all likelihood will be the next president.
