Sen. Obama was very impressive in tonight's debate. Here are a few things he mentioned-----
...we've spent over $600 billion in Iraq and are spending $10 billion/month in Iraq.
....that President Bush, who has been supported by McCain 90% of the time, has had an "orgy of spending."
....that eliminating earmarks alone will not get the middle class back on sure footing.
....McCain wants to cut the business tax. McCain's tax cuts would give CEO's an average tax cut of $700,000.
.....McCain has indeed voted against alternative/clean energy (Link).
......McCain would tax health benefits.
McCain said he would have a spending freeze. Actually, McCain's entire economic policies was all about cutting spending and eliminating earmarks. He wants to eliminate ethanol subsidies. It seems that McCain wants to remain in Iraq for many years to come but he doesn't seem to have a real plan for going after Bin Laden.
I though that McCain was very demeaning and insulting to Obama. McCain repeatedly said, "Sen. Obama doesn't understand." Who does McCain think he is? Why does McCain continue to talk about Ronald Reagan as something great? I don't think Reagan was that impressive as a president. McCain also wanted to start an organization of nations. Hello! Did McCain forget that there are organizations like NATO and the United Nations????
People have a real choice in this election. If you want to continue the war in Iraq for several more years, give more tax cuts to oil companies and the wealthy, McCain is your candidate.
However, if you think it is time to get Bin Laden, bring our troops home from Iraq, and give tax breaks to the middle class, Obama is your candidate.
I'm choosing Obama. We can't afford another four years of the same failed policies.
By the way, McCain says he supports our troops. Hmmm. The truth is McCain wants to ration veterans' medical benefits and he did not support the New G.I. Bill.
