All throughout the presidential primaries I never had an opinion the candidates. The debate last Tuesday night gave me my opinion. Although Senator Barack Obama is a very eloquent speaker, seems very personal, and appeals to young people, his blatant avoidance of many questions was very troubling. If he isn’t being clear on things, then how are we supposed to be able to know that we can trust him. Senator John McCain actually answered the questions he was asked and was very clear. He isn’t a great speaker, he seems to have an odd posture, and he is older. His posture has a lot to do with when he was serving in the army and taken prisoner. During that, both his arms were broken and not correctly fixed. That combined with his age would give anyone a bad posture. His standings and beliefs also align almost exactly with mine, whereas Obama’s defy everything moral that I believe in. Obama may SEEM like a better candidate with his charm and appeal, but McCain is who we need and can trust.
