10/1 Debate

In the presidential debate that occurred Friday, September 26,2008, there was a great amount of controversy between Senator Obama and Senator McCain. As I watched it, I realized that each candidate was very different appearance wise and was very easy to analyze. After the talk about money issues around the world and what each candidate wanted to give, I came to a decision on who carried a better argument and why.
Senator Obama, wearing a cricked red tie and a navy suit, smiled the whole time of his debate. From that I noticed he was quite confident in arguing against Senator McCain. McCain was wearing the same with a straight professional red and white striped tie perfectly in place with his navy suit. As a young man, Obama is also black. Not myself, but there are many people in this country who are still racist. That may or may not effect his numbers in voting. McCain is an old white man who looks like he has been through war in his life and he has. When he spoke, he blinked various times, and did not move his mouth a great amount. This affect how hard it was to pay attention to him. When Obama spoke, he smiled and was easy to pay attention to. McCain spoke with a mean, yet sad, and determined tone which made the audience feel threatened by him. Obama beamed with a calm relaxed and confident manor that let the audience enjoy what he had to say. Their interactions were completely different. McCain refused to look Obama in the eye and interrupted most of his views. It showed that he was a poor sport when he kept continuing to laugh and argue with Obama. Obama on the other hand, was extremely polite which showed confidence, and listened to what McCain had to say. Obama made us feel as if he was going to be able to listen to the public as well. Oboma’s speech was very clear and accurate by giving full and detailed examples of what he will do for our country. McCain sounds like our old current president Bush. He was asked a yes/no questioned and responded, “I hope so, sure”. Very unprofessional. Both debates were ok but with the minor little scratches each debate could be better. I think Obama wont his debate. He carried himself better and was more presentable. He made young people like me understand his conflicts. Overall he has my vote.
