Debate, Oct 15, 2008

IMO Obama wasn't comparing the small business owner to a 12billion dollar business; he was simply stating that the small business owner could have a tax break while the billion dollar business can afford to pay out a little more. Exxon mobil for example- all of us are paying these rediculous prices- if you owned a small business would you not rather a billion dollar business pay slightly more taxes while you pay less. In the end it will even itself out.

Each party will still make their share and in the end we will all be please.

On a side note neither of them answered the question when asked "would you stand behind what you stated in your tv ads and say it here tonight on national tv"

Instead each beat around the bush w/that one.

Mccain is dodging most of the questions asked and answering them indirectly by "mudslinging" obama and bringing up things from joe the plumber. Answer the damn questions and let the debate move forward.

The problem is that that's not what obama wants to do.

They are both mudslinging. But McCain hasn't really dodged as many questions as they both normally do.

They are both mudslinging. But McCain hasn't really dodged as many questions as they both normally do.

Both are mudslinging and both are "avoiding" questions. Instead of answering the questions, both speak briefly about the question and then go to left field.

Example - The question about, "Give a specific amount that they would reduce our dependence on foreign oil."

It's all good that they want to reduce our dependence on foreign oil from unfavorable countries/regimes, but that didn't answer the question.
