The debate just started and the town hall focuses on 80 uncommitted voters from Nashville. The first thing I see is someone I used to work with. Cool!
The candidates are limited to one minute answers, and so far neither are cooperating. Tom Brokaw has to keep reminding them that they agreed to that.
They are taking questions from the floor and the internet. How can people trust either one of them with their money when it was both parties who contributed to this economic problem?
What sacrifices would you ask people to make to restore American dream.
Obama wants to use a scalpel not a hatchet on the budget. Good. He also talked about how Americans want to sacrifice, and not just by shopping after a terrorist attack. Good again.
Is health care a privilege, right, or responsibility? McCain says responsibility; Obama says right.
At least health care is on the forefront--surely good changes will come.
Re Iraq: McCain again says Obama doesn't understand. Obama says it is true he doesn't understand why we invaded the wrong country. The war has put an extreme strain on our troops and our budget.
Regarding genocide, when we stand idly by, it diminishes us, Obama says. We need to be able to work in concert with our allies on some of this. Good!
