Reaction to last Friday’s First Presidential Debate

Posted on September 30th, 2008 in Uncategorized by Karl

A few thoughts come to mind.  “Boring.”  “A waste of time”.  “Politicians doing what they do best.”

I admire both McCain and Obama as men with great integrity. I thought both were “different” than your typical politician.  However, last night they sure sounded like your run-of-the-mill politicians.

In a critique of the debate on NPR a political expert was quoted as saying: “Both candidates both did great.  Neither one really screwed up.”  Since when is “not screwing up” equivalent to doing a good job and serving the American interests?  I guess that’s politics for you.
