The Debate.

The first article that I read was about how Barak Obama did better in the 2008 Presidential Election Debate on Friday September 26, 2008. A USA today poll showed that 46% of the people who watched the debate said that Barak Obama did better and 34% of the people who watched the debate said that John McCain did better. The watchers also said that Barak Obama had better proposals to change the country’s problems. The poll said that 21% of the watchers got a better view of John McCain, 21% got a negative view of him and 56% said it didn’t change their opinion.

In the second article I read the two candidates both criticized each other. John McCain said that Obama doesn't understand the difference between a tactic and a strategy. Barak Obama said he absolutely understands the difference between tactics and strategy. John McCain from his experience overseas tried to show that he is the more qualified candidate. Barak Obama criticized the Bush Administration and also said the economic crisis is the "final verdict on eight years of failed economic policies promoted by George Bush. Obama said that John McCain supports George Bush’s policies.
