The Debate Round 1

In the Foreign Policy debate between John McCain and Barack Obama tonight, it was an easy victory for McCain. McCain’s knowledge of world affairs and the military were far far above Obama’s. I’ll bet Joe Biden was proud of his friend, John McCain.

Experience matters in this dangerous world and Obama does not have it. By not having a teleprompter to read from, Obama had a hard time talking. He stuttered and stammered his words in almost every answer. Obama “almost” made Montana Senator Max Baucus look like a toastmaster champion.

McCain was on the offensive most of the night and Obama said, “I agree with John” at least 10-15 times.

One thing I wanted McCain to say, but he is more of a gentleman than I, was when the question was asked, “What’s the likelihood of another 9/11?” I would have answered, “It’s more likely if Senator Obama is elected President.” Which I believe it is.

All in all it was good debate and there were not any big mistakes by either candidate. Of course, each side will claim victory as they always do. But the great thing about debates is that you and I get to pick the winner. I pick John McCain. He is ready to be President on day one.
