I am sensing a subtle difference between Obama and McCain in this debate. Obama seems to be speaking in much broader, general terms, and McCain is speaking in specifics. McCain is making good use of his experience and is coming across very well as a potential leader who has really been in the situations Obama is only hypothesizing about.
Obama has just implied that Iran's rise to power is a result of the fact that we removed Iraq as a powerful enemy to keep it in check. Whether you agree with the fact that we went into Iraq in the first place, how can you say that the region would have been better off if Saddam Hussein was still in power?
I don't think there were any real surprises tonight. Obama got his points across well as best as I can tell. I don't agree with him, but I think he got himself across. But McCain definitely came across as more experienced and knowledgeable.
I agree with you Obama is great at taking a lot of words and putting them together to say very little in specific. I have more questions after I hear him speak than I do beforehand. How can people feel comfortable with that? It's as if people are just hearing all these words that he puts together and they sound somewhat educated and they think he knows what he is talking about so they just follow blindly. He's a great BSer. You can tell he's a lawyer no offence to your dad.
