Wow many points to comment on. I think CrackerBarrel said that 'you saw what you wanted to see'. My husband and I watched it and he kept saying, 'I don't know how ANYONE could want to vote for that idiot! He's making absolutely NO sense.' (referring to Obama). I explained that Obama supporters are probably saying the same thing about McCain. I don't expect to see ONE person on here or anywhere else who supports either candidate to say that the other one took it. Just won't happen.
My favorite part: Obama saying 'Tal-EEE-ban'. Everytime he said it we broke into 'Come Mr. Tal-ee-ban, Tal-e-me-ba-na-na'. I also wish that he could find another buzz word than 'fundamental'. VERY overused.
BO seemed like a robot. He would wait his turn, and then someone would flip his switch, and it was time to go back to work. HE reminds me of George Bush in his appearance and demeanor...he's smooth. Everytime he opened his mouth, I felt like I was in a high school auditorium listening to a speech for Senior Class President. 'You want Guns-N-roses blasted on the loud speakers every morning? SURE! You want pizza for lunch everyday? No problem! Elect me, and it will happen!' He just has NO passion to me. The more I see him, the more I think he's just playing the people.
For McCain, I felt bad watching him not sit down. Didn't think about the 'excitement' factor someone else mentioned. More that the effects of war on a person. All of you know my hubby's a disabled vet, he can't sit still to save his life....and he's more than half JM's age. I think with all he's been through it's really unfortunate opposers degrade his appearance.
Health care....wow...I hope that anyone who believes in a blanket government health care plan could visit another country that has it. I lived in Germany, and seeing some of the army wives go in and have babies scared me enough to come home and do it here. You get what you pay for, most definitely. While I don't think that health care is a privledge, I just don't see a logical way of being fair to everyone without SEVERELY sacrificing the quality of care, or driving the economy further in debt.
The comment about freddie and fannie, I didn't know who they were either until we bought our first house a couple of years ago. And, it wasn't even a thorough study of them. Just the first time I really noticed the name. Thank god they have nothing to do with my mortgage. I think it's funny that BO was bragging about proposing more crackdown on the two a year ago, like doing something a year ago would have really made a difference! But, it was probably when he decided he was going to run for office.
Just a few of my own observations...
Edited because I just read AGD's statement "My basic point is that health care is not nearly as cut and dried as "is it a commodity, right, privilege or responsibility?" SO TRUE!!!
