Get Political
I watched the debates last night. It wasn't anything unexpected, Obama groomed, confident, sensible and McCain, wandering (get out of the shot dude), condescending, and practically trying to sit at peoples laps to address the crowd. I confess never saw the first debate and I have only either read or listened to McCain's ideas briefly before I changed the channel. Actually sitting down and listening to him I realize that people aren't kidding when they say he's way out of touch. He seems to think that all Americans are divided 3 ways Big Corps, Workers, and Small Business owners, the latter being included I guess in workers so really two kinds of Americans, don't get it, me neither. I remember meeting some people in italy and their impression of Americans is that we were weird cause we seemed to live to work like we love the sweat of it, While they saw jobs as their day almost began when the work day was over and they could enjoy themselves. Watching McCain last night I can see why they could see my culture that way. My favorite quote was "We don't have time for on the job training" as he said that it had occurred to me that wow, he's friggin old and he's doing this with Palin. My God can you imagine Palin having to represent this country against Putin! And what is with McCain never saying Senator Obama he kept calling him "that one" or "Obama" show some respect.
