Outside Reading October 10

For this assignment, I am not going to talk about a book or magazine I read. I am going to talk about the presidential debate that occurred on Tuesday. I thought that the debate was very interesting. It was pretty even, but I think that Obama essentially won the debate. The thing that bothered me about McCain was that he dodged a lot of questions. For example, when they would talk about something that he didn't agree with, he would try to change the subject. He would talk about issues that both parties agree on so he would appear more popular. I don't why this bothered me, but he always referred to whoever he was talking to "friends." This made me mad because it was like he was trying to sound like a father figure to the listeners. I support Obama and think he will make the right decisions as the next president. Also, the fact that McCain picked Sarah Palin as his vice president made me lose all respect for him. The only reason he did it was to try to win votes from Hillary supporters. Those are my thoughts on the Presidential Debate.
