I may as well go ahead and say it. I feel it’s a bit like my religious views. Why should I be ashamed I’m a witch? Why should I feel the need to hide my political affiliation? I’d been leaning towards Obama for some time now because all I really saw from McCain was waffling and him rambling about his time as a prisoner of war any time a tough issue came up, but after last night’s political debate my allegiance was sealed.

The more I watched the debate the more I never wanted to see McCain again. He waffled, jibed, name-dropped, insulted, insinuated, made snarky remarks and generally acted like he was above the whole situation. He would get this smarmy little grin some times. I kinda got a kick out of the split screen so I could see his non-verbal responses to things that Obama was saying. It was ridiculous.

Hubbie came out to see what Roomie and I were making annoyed comments about and said that McCain was actually lying in a couple of spots because of the way his body language, that Obama was sure of what he was saying and direct, whereas McCain was not and was in several points lying about things.

Hubbie was saying that he’s read Obama’s economic plan on his website and it’s actually something which is sound and could really help the economy. I also recall an interview on the Colbert Report a few weeks ago where it was pointed out that the economy tends to take a dive during Republican times and raise under Democratic ones, and we sure as hell could use a raise about now. Our spendable income has dropped drastically in the last eight years, which I can attest too, we’ve steadily been losing money for the the past year in particular, and only just now started not having to clear out or savings account each month because we have a person renting from us now…which is ridiculous.

I also liked what Obama said about renewable energy resources. McCain’s response was basically to repeat over and over again that of course renewable energy was important, but not actually say anything that he intended to do.

Plus the name-dropping. I got sick of hearing about Kissinger very quickly.

Something has to be done, and I feel Obama is the one to do it, rather than just talk about how important it is and then hide in New York somewhere.
