On Friday September 26,2008 was the 1stpresidential debate between McCain and Obama, held In Oxford, Mississippi. Lead questions that were discussed between McCain and Obama included topics such as: financial recovery plan, the fundamental differences between McCain and Obama, the rescue system and what priorities when elected to be the president of United States of America will they have give up, Lessons learned from Iraq, their veiws on Afghanistan, and should we withdraw troops, send more troops and if so how many should we send in?
According to this article 51% believe that Obama gave a better debate , where as only 38% voted for McCain.
In the beginning of the debate it seemed as though McCain was repeating history, and even through his debate he pointed out several historical points, which I thought were pointless, because he is fighting for a presidential election that will help get the country back on track for the future, and not to dwell on the past events. When the question was asked to McCain about how he feels about the financial plan, he kept saying the phrase "cut spending", that was really confusing to hear him say spending but in what departments. The other thing that McCain agreed upon was his stance on the war, he thinks that "were winning in Iraq" and that the soldiers don't want to come home until they "win", he obviously wants to send more troops and $$ to Iraq.
I was pretty pleased with Obama's debate, I agreed, for the most part, on his debate solutions/plans, I really like the way he delivers his speeches/debates over McCain.
