Last Presidential Debate
Senator McCain went on the offensive quickly, criticising Obama's proposal to raise taxes on Americans who make more than $250000 a year and saying it would hurt small business owners like Joe the plumber. Senator Obama said that his plan would cut taxes for 95% of Americans and raise them only on the most fortunate Americans, while on the flip side McCain proposes to give tax breaks to major oil companies. I think this fundemental difference is what has given Obama the lead in this election and he I think he proved that point in the final debate. Obama won the debate again for the final time and of the three debates I think Obama came across as the winner. Even though I wasn't alive during the Kennedy/ Nixon race this seems to be that race all over again, when it comes to the debates at least. Obama seemed composed at all times during the debate with confidence but at the same time very humbled. On the opposing side I think McCain let his emotions get to him too much. When Obama critized his campaign rally's you could see the anger in McCain's eyes. It's not good for a leader to show emotion like that. People want to see passion not anger and theres a difference. America is in need of a fresh start and new belief and I think Obama is going to bring that to our nation and to the global community as well.
