			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This post is a little late but I want to share my thoughts on the debate that happened last Friday between Barack Obama and John McCain.</p>
<p>I think Barack did great.  He was good and defending his position and he was not afraid to admit where McCain and him share similar beliefs.  He had some awkward moments but he was very inspiring to listen to.</p>
<p>Then there was McCain&#8230;  He REALLY gave off the &#8220;cranky old guy&#8221; vibe.  Not once did he ever look at Obama during the debate to address him.  He got visibly shaken up and irritated at his debating partner.  He never admitted to saying Obama was right about anything even though his answer was clearly of the same message.  Not to mention he said &#8220;horseshit&#8221; twice during the debate which I think is pretty unacceptable.  Thanks to Jake for <a href="http://www.236.com/tag/McCain%2Bhorseshit%2Bdebate">pointing it out</a>.</p>
<p>McCain was obviously trying to drive home the fact he has more experience by just throwing out every possible name he could think of for every argument but he had no substance to his arguments.</p>
<p>I was surprised to see Time awarded him a B- even though they rated him at a B-, C-, C+, B- for all their categories.  I think they&#8217;re just going easy on him.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m voting for Obama all the way.  Everyone I hear say they want to vote McCain usually have money as the sole reason behind that decision.  They say, &#8220;Obama will raise taxes&#8221; and &#8220;Businesses are going to have to pay more&#8221;.</p>
<p>Obama is raising taxes for the RICH.  The people that make huge salaries that can afford to pay more.  Does it make sense for a CEO and a secretary to get taxed the same amount?  I sure don&#8217;t think so.  If I was in a CEO position, I&#8217;d gladly pay more taxes.  People are struggling to make ends meet and the well-to-do refuse to give up one of their 10 cars so the less fortunate can eat and clothe their children?  That&#8217;s stupid and that&#8217;s why the economy is broken.</p>
<p>Money should not be a determining factor on our future.  Ever.</p>
<p>Guess I kind of went off on a tangent there but that&#8217;s what I believe.</p>
