Neither of them did a great job last night. I (and the talking head this morning) thought McCain looked tense and uncomfortable. I didn't think he "connected" with the audience at all. I thought he looked and sounded desperate.
I thought I heard McCain say that he wants the federal government to buy back the bad loans and reissue loans so people can stay in their homes -- did I hear that right? Where is that money going to come from??? Even this morning, the talking heads seemed puzzled as to why McCain didn't preface this as a "new idea" because none of them seemed aware he had ever proposed it before. And I can't believe that he's proposing to "freeze" government spending. That just never works, and he'd hardly be the first to try it. And a $5000 tax credit for everyone and double the child deduction??? Please. What about the deficet?
You know, I listen and I don't hear anything that even remotely sounds like a plan from either one -- all they talk about is whose taxes they are going to cut and how they are going to spend more money. The only positive thing I heard last night was that both of them would consider Warren Buffet for Treasury Secretary.
The next big crisis is going to be on the interest rates on credit cards, which apparently, a lot of people use to attain a standard of living they can't afford.
The most sensible thing I heard last night was not at the debate. It was an interview Charles Gibson did with some elderly woman in a small town in Ohio. She said that "they need to get back to basics, and people should be buying what they can't afford.". I wonder if she'd be willing to run for President?
