John McCain and Barack Obama's Debates Probably Won't Be Game-Changers
Reader Comments
Obama displays his thoughtful, insightful intelligence
The debate last night really made evident the calm, reasoned and open mind that Obama has at his disposal. In the 21st century we need a leader who is open and willing to take a much more global view of what we do and how we are percieved in the world.
I do not want another arrogant, opinionated, stubborn American president. Time to look to the future not relive the mistakes of the past.
game-changers
Fact is, debates will just put the old microscope on 2 people who don't deserve the presidency of (once) the world's greatest country.The United States needs a proven leader, and a capable right-hand public servant as well. Let's focus on our solutions, people.

It is much more important for both candidates to put aside the campaign and help resolve a possible huge economic disaster looming ahead. The debate can be rescheduled or just cancelled. Never before has such a crisis loomed so close to a presidential election. Let's see how they show constructive leadership in "real time". This will help me decide who gets my vote more than a debate.

IF MCCAIN AVOIDS THE 1ST DEBATE HE WILL APPEAR EVEN MORE FEEBLE AND EVASIVE THAN BEFORE THE ECONOMIC CRISIS. IF A PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE CAN'T MULTI-TASK HOW IS HE GOING TO BE ABLE TO BE A PRESIDENT.
I THINK PEOPLE HAVE A RIGHT TO SEE HOW YOU HANDLE YOURSELF DURING A DEBATE. PEOPLE HAVE A RIGHT TO SEE HOW KNOWLEDGEABLE YOU ARE REGARDING ECONOMIC ISSUES THAT NOW FACE OUR NATION. AND IF YOU ARE GOING TO BE EVASIVE AND CAN'T HANDLE IT THEN YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO BE A PRESIDENT. BECAUSE A PRESIDENT HAS TO DEAL WITH THESE ISSUES ALL THE TIME AND CAN'T JUST QUIT WHEN THE GOING GET TOUGH.
