Straight Talking Express Loses a Wheel

Senator Obama and Senator McCain traded barbs last evening during the debate. McCain often came off as rude toward Senator Obama. Senator McCain clearly had problems appearing warm and friendly toward the people in the town hall while he was talking down to Senator Obama. On the other hand Senator Obama did well because of the style of the event. He was able to appear presidential and respectfully to the crowd. It was clear from time to time that this style of debate was not what Senator Obama was use to because he keep falling into a trial court approach to deal with disagreeing with Senator McCain. At one point he managed to force an objection to comments made by Senator McCain. Senator Obama clearly had the edge when it came to the economy. At one point Senator McCain said that he had a new plan for the mortgage crisis but what Senator Obama had to point out was those powers for the US treasurer were just passed in the bailout plan. Makes you wonder just how well Senator McCain understood the bill he voted for and what else he missed in that bill.
