Obama was TOO NICE; he needed to be more assertive asnwering McCain
Not a bad debate, but I left with these impressions:

  • Obama was way too nice to McCain, and let him get away with blatant accusations
  • When McCain was attacking Obama with lies and ridiculous accusations, Obama should have been more forceful in his responses.
  • Enough of that "I agree with Senator McCain". At no point did McCain agree with anything Obama said, not even in the most obvious.
  • When McCain ridiculed and mischaracterized Obama's positions, there were several occasions that Obama missed to come back forcefully and wipe the floor with him. Yet he kept shaking his head and saying "that's not true". Republicans are not afraid to hit back, Democrats always have to act meekish in debates. Why?
    :banghead:

McCain was rude, insincere, and aggressive. OBAMA NEEDS TO FIGHT BACK AND DON'T LET HIM GET AWAY WITH THIS CRAP!!!
:mad:
