Town Hall Debate

John McCain and Barack Obama town hall style meeting.

A whole lot of the same, where was the fundamental difference? Only one talked about education (Barak Obama), what collage students will do when they graduate and they will in the years ahead. With all the chaos in the economy something concrete has to be done. No one as far as I heard gave a this-comes-next-after-this as to what will be done. Students now will inherit this indecision when they graduate with loans to be paid and jobs to earn a paycheck to repay the loans near to non-existent.

The usual politicking occurred little or no straight answers to questions, ah whole lot of fluff. Senator John McCain stood to benefit and loose the most since this was his arena, while Barack Obama just had to gain points and that he did not much in my estimation but he did gain some points. I think in a 10 point system out of a potential full ten points John McCain gets Five (5) points and Barack Obama gets seven (7) points.

I am not American but what happens with you affects the economy here in Trinidad and Tobago when you cough we get the cold. We sell like 90% of our natural gas to the US. A security interest I say and I am sure if anything were to play off between the Americans and Venezuela we will “willingly” host you because we are just like 7 miles off the Venezuelan coast. I pray to God that nothing of the sort happens because in no form will it work out good for us.

By the way maverick (Independent person: an independent thinker who refuses to conform to the accepted views on a subject) has been thrown around by the republicans, while there is some good there is also another meaning, Unbranded animal: an unbranded animal, especially a calf that has become separated from its mother and herd. By convention, it can become the property of whoever finds it and brands it. (Microsoft Encarta 2009)

Think About it.
