Did you have the chance to see the debate between Obama and McCain last night? well, I did. And I am a wee bit umcomfortable. Why am I feeling like that? well, yes, the signs were both depressing and dangerous. On the one hand I see a sinister hidden agenda lurking ominously. Pakistan and Iran had better watch out!! And the other is the lack of total realisation of the gravity of the financial crises. Questions posed by the audience revealed that the average American is still living in a make belief world. I would have thought that they would have grilled the two hopefuls on firstly WHY such a huge crises was allowed to develop, what about the accountability of those responsible, and then finally, what would be the strategy that such a misadventure is not allowed again. But no. The audience lacked participation and intelligence. Perhaps a rigged audience? An audience that does not ask uncomfortable questions?
McCain reveals a personna that is unsure of the future. He was tentative and probably a wee bit melodramatic when trying to touch the chord of the audience. He was moving in circles!! He would always try to come back to attacking Obama on his inexperience. Obama, was more confident and sure. And was trying his best to reach out to the rather cold and "drugged" audience. I felt that Obama won the day, though marginally.
But, the question that looms large...Is either of the two really Presidential material? McCain is far too old and Obama is far too raw!!
And the audience was far too drugged, cold and withdrawn toreally test the two.
