The first presidential debate

The first debate between jhon Mccain and Barack Obama had taken place last thursday night where millions of Americains had their television turned to. The debate was definitely heated both of the presidents had their strong points but there could only be one winner. According to CNN with the votes from online, Obama was the winner. Most of the debate was about the economy. the economy lately in United state has been down, according to Obama the ecionomy has not been like that since the recession of 1929. United States is in 700 billion dollars bailout, what is the next president going to do about it? Mccain' s response was to freeze all the spending and watch it closely. Obama's response which i agreed with was to cut taxes at 95% for all Americain so they can get extra money, to start economic growth again and also bring middle class back. Obama also claimed, in order to slow down spending, he will make U.S energy independent, and also independent from the middle east when it comes to oil and gas. The debate took long more than it was supposed to, that is how heated it was.

While the candidates took longer in arguing about some specific issues than was planned, the debate itself took exactly the 90 minutes that it had been scheduled to take. Do you agree with the poll that showed Obama winning? Those who thought McCain won point out that McCain was on the offensive more than Obama was. What do you think those that said Obama had won saw to lead them to this conclusion?
