File Under: Amateur Political Diatribes
A few observations:
In my humble opinion, McCain came off as combative and disrespectful, while Obama gave the impression of being informed and presidential. I do wish that Obama had spent more time talking about the economic issues that affect everyday people, instead of all that jazz about earmarks. But whatever. I noticed that McCain repeated that same claim about Obama wanting to raise taxes on people making more than $42,000 a year. Here's a quick rundown of why this is wrong. Oh, and if you turn the sound up during the part where Obama is talking about the prime minister of Spain, McCain can apparently be heard saying the word "horsesh&t" under his breath. That's not something you hear in every debate.
