    Good, the first debate is key and with Lehrer it’ll be a respectable debate on the issues none of that gotcha garbage, McCain is lost on the issues too busy going negative over and over, Obama will drink his milkshake.

    After watching the candidate’s debate last night, it became apparent that Obama would be better to play the President in a movie, but McCain is the man who can actually do the job. Obama is like a movie set. He looks good, but behind the facade, there’s nothing there. When you have no track record, like Obama, all you can do is criticize and attack America … whereas McCain, who has actually contributed to this country for decades, obviously loves America. I never felt like Obama has sincere pride and love for this country, he just seems to be in this for personal ambition.
