This should be interesting since it's actually people asking the questions and not a moderator who has gone through all of them and decided which to ask.
I will try to find a way to stream the debate so that people can look at my comments and the debate.
Policy illuminates character? How about not mudslinging showing character?
NBC newscaster = moderator any biasedness?
Never mind the guy has selected questions....is he planning on publishing a book??
lol we are not constrained with cheering and so forth haha.
Obama turned away last....hmmm.....
and the thank yous begin. Answer the question.....gah that's a hard hit saying this is as bad as the Great Depression. At least he's answering the question with what is wrong and what he wants to do. Attacking the banks and talking about new jobs...Sounds alot like what FDR did...
McCain again with the thank yous. Following the ideas of republicans with fiscal policy of low taxes on everyone. He talks more about the housing crisis and keeps saying my friends when adressing the people. Pointed out he's not Obama and that he's not Bush. Trying to seperate himself out as his own person.
Secretary of Treasury
McCain never really named someone as the treasury secretary ...named a characteristic of trust. Almost seems to be playing it safe.
Obama is playing his horn of middle class pretty hard and never answered question.
The Bailout
McCain is being positive that the economy will come back. Blaming Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Just called out Obama!!!!!!! I think McCain just dropped the ball. Wants to do what?? Buy up the loans and keep the homes. How will that help? (I keep saying burn!)
Obama explaining the business and work side of the jobs. Burn back to McCain. (McCain is standing uh-oh)
Both are saying the other is basically to blame for the crisis. yay! Obama cleaned it up! thank you! I don't want to see the pointing back and forth.
did they ever answer the question?
Going to Get Worse??
Obama: No. Confident in the economy. Wants to change alot of things.
McCain: Depends on what we do. (interesting response) Still pointing fingers. (repeating something that palin said??) American workers are the best in the world.
How can we trust you? Either of you?
Obama: Alot of Blame to go around. Bush = problem??? No one is completely innocent. Pointing fingers again. But then saying his plan.
McCain = bipartisan, reformer. fighting against spending. Still pointing fingers alot.
Both keep talking about lobbyists and corruptions and cronies. GEE Washington seems great.
Why isn't education first on Obama's list??
However I do like the fact that they both get to address the people up front. See the people and hear thier voices. These are the American people that need to be encouraged, need to have trust need something to help them. But right now I'm more impressed with Obama's responses of what he is going to do but as i said he is really tooting the middle class horn. McCain doesn't seem to be at all adressing the questions fully with what his plans are or making them understandable. But something does seem a little different at least for the first five minutes.
Sorry people I'm gone!

well done Hall. I like you blog style with the flow and your take on the town hall setting. Though education was not #1 on Obama's list he at least through it in there. The list actually was to prioritize Health, Energy, and Entitlements referring to (Social Security) and he inserted Education in it's place so at least he had the foresight to include it.
