I can't believe my English professor!!! Part of our homework this weekend was to watch the Presidential Debate, right? Well, I just got finished doing that on YouTube just a few moments ago and I must say: I knew there was a reason why I didn't want to do it! I learned next to NOTHING on either McCain's and Obama's stance on the issues of today. This is what I did get from the both of them:
McCain:
- Strongest Stance: Military in general
- Demenor: Patient to an extent
- Mindset to other candidate: "He just doesn't get it and he's contradicting himself"
- Most common turn of phrase included: "my records say..."
Obama:
- Strongest Stance: Healthcare
- Demenor: Impatient to an extent
- Mindset to other candidate: "He just doesn't get it and that's that"
- Most common turn of phrase included: "well, McCain here..."
Both:
- Fluid talk about matters overseas
- Fluid talk about what's going on in the Middle East
- None could answer coherently (nor honestly in my opinion) how they were going to handle taking the Presidancy during an economic crises rivaling that of the Great Depression
Other than learning first-hand that watching this was a punishment rivaling that of being forced to watch Barney or the Teletubbies, that's basically about it...(now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to either watch free anime or read some manga to finally calm down...)
Later!
