I'm am not your friend, you have not earned that!

So we have made it through another debate. Grumpy McBlinking was at his usual ridiculousnesses. I really liked how whenever McCain took the low road with an attack, Obama defused it by turning the conversation back to the issues. I also liked how he was calm and reasoned it was a great contrast. I was also glad that Obama finally took the opportunity to set the record straight on the attacks from the McCain camp. I was glad to see his attacks backfired on him.

I hope that people watching saw clearly what an Obama presidency would look like, someone thoughtful, who actually reads the bills he is signing. Who takes the time to understand complex issues and looks for common ground. An running mate who also embodies the same thoughfullness and dedication to people. A president that respects leaders around the world, and restoring our image in their eyes.

By contract I hope they saw what a McCain Presidency would look like (goddess forbid). A man who jumps into the fray without knowing the facts. A running mate who clearly doesn't know anything and is not willing to learn either. A leader that jumps to rash decisions that further anger other nations leading to more conflict.

I hope, "hope" wins the day in the end.
