The debate was rather weak, lacking substance but I expect this economy is difficult to attack without a wide scope view of all of our finances as a Country. It made for being very boring with little communication directed at each other, and the no smile or laughter rule. I also agree that the questions were generic and allowed for a simular type response. In regards to the insurance, yeah right Americans are broke and in the mail comes $5000.00..Insurance or food, gas, school, rent or house payment...It's already proven that Americans forgo health insurance due to the fact it is not affordable...The problem is no solved with a credit. Matters on Small Businesses, well they are not speaking to true small business owners anyway. A companies importance is measured by its quarterly revenue. That's the art of Lobbyist. They don't get it..the point!

HOWEVER, why was he asking questions at all? this was a town hall meeting. the audience is the one that asks the questions in this style. they were given so many rules it kind of seemed pointless to even have them there. they couldn't laugh, make distractions, nothing. i get the no distractions as some get carried away with it. but come on! it's like they were asked not to interact at all. i guess they were worried about off the wall or hard hitting questions. but yet again...isn't the the point?!?!?!?!?! ugh. i have been hearing obama being called “The One” for quite a while. from the media to grocery shoppers. knowing that, for mccain to refer to him as such was in fact highly disrespectful. he should at no point lower a candidate debate forum to living room talk.
