personal attacks

Many Americans tuned in to watch the most recent “town hall-style” debate between presidential candidates Barack Obama and John McCain. My assumptions about politicians did not change much. No matter how direct a question is, politicians of any party cannot give a genuine or spontaneous answer. Instead, we are given pre-written responses that typically don’t answer the question we’re really asking. The reviews of the debate seem to be the same: BORING! The New York Times explained that the debate was “90 minutes of forced cordiality,” and I can’t say I disagree. And the Boston Globe depicted the debate as “mercifully free” of personal attacks. Consequently, the debate was also free of much of the tension that grabs TV viewers’ attention. McCain continued to toot his own horn: he restated the importance of his experience, his “stay the course” stance on the war in Iraq, and his oil drilling policies. Obama proceeded to criticize the Republican economic policies that he believes are to blame for the economic recession. Even after the debate, I think most Americans still have no concept of how the candidates would actually act in the face of a pending economic catastrophe. American needs a sound economic proposal. Obama’s stance on “predatory lending” – effectively sanctioning payday advance lenders – is not a sensible solution to the real economic problems we face.
