On Friday’s presidential debate the main focus seemed to be international affairs. I must admit that the condition in Iraq is important and we must know what our next president would do, but isn’t the economical situation even more important? Candidate Obama appears to be concerned and interested in improving our situation, which I personally like. I think the US has changed…we can barely afford living and sending our kids to school. We don’t see America as the country of dreams, but of nightmares. Going back to the international issues, our international image had degraded over the past years and republicans pretend to care. I believe the war in Iraq hasn’t got any better and we are losing more and more soldiers in a lost cause. It’s time for us to understand that we can’t safe the whole world. We have lost plenty already and those soldiers that have come back don’t even count with the government’s aid to heal their wounds. I agreed with Obama, the war hasn’t been quick or easy. McCain however thinks that we are somehow winning because of some sort of strategy, he even accuses Obama by saying: “Sen. Obama refuses to acknowledge that we are winning in Iraq”.
Overall I believe Obama did better than McCain. I have to admit that McCain is stronger in International subjects…however that isn’t enough. Americans need a president willing to make changes in the health care system, in education, and it seems like Obama is eager to do some changes. For now what we must do is wait…it isn’t over yet, next week we have the vice presidential debate.
