After the debate

Well, I watched the debate last night. There were times when McCain was rambling that I had to cover my ears. He almost sounded like he had the same debate/interview teacher as Sarah Palin. I thought Obama was so much more organized in his responses so that you could at least understand in most circumstances what his plans were in important areas like energy, health care, economy, even foreign policy. There were times that neither candidate answered the question asked - reverting to their usual policy statements that did not address the specific concern of the questioner. I actually thought McCain did better in the first debate - I gained more respect for his knowledge of foreign policy. In this one, he appeared old, confused and unable to make clear what his policies were going to be. Combined with Sarah Palin's nasty attacks on the stump about Barack Obama's associations with supposed terrorists etc, I think the McCain campaign has an uphill battle and I will do everything in my power to give Obama and the Democrats a chance to fix the mess we are in. I hope everyone gets out and votes and votes for Obama/Biden.

I worry so much about our country. I worry that the Republicans will win - can't take 4 more years of it. I try the Que sera, Quer sera approach, but it just doesn't work. Got my Obama lawn sign that I made by covering my old Bush must go sign with the Obama 2008 logo and left exposed the human need not corporate greed. We don't need McCain and Palin - Rambos both, but a leader who consults experts, considers alternatives and understands the nature of negotiation and how powerful it can be when a leader knows how to use it for the good. Those who are at a loss for words need to resort to violence and force to win. That is not what we need. It's late - I'm tired - Going to bed and reading about construction.
