The Buckeye Battle
Tonight's debate at Cleveland State University in Cleveland, Ohio between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama didn't have very many exciting moments, and was rather slow. There were a select few issues addressed by the two candidates. These included health care, NAFTA, and foreign policy. Throughout the debate, there was a tone of negativity from Senator Clinton not only toward Senator Obama, but also to the moderators of the debate. She complained about having to address a question first, rather than having the rebuttle opportunity. She even asks if they can get pillows so Senator Obama can be made more comfortable. It may have been an attempt at humor, but it made her appear resentful toward Obama and somewhat showed a loss of her temper.

The two candidates made it their point to hammer on the issue of universal health care, each critisizing the others'. During their debating, they each keep proclaiming that this is the most important issue in the upcoming election, which is absolutely absurd. With an economy heading toward a recession, and a budget deficit growing larger with increased spending every year, the liberals tell us we need MORE government spending. This just doesn't make sense, during this whole debate on health care nobody ever took the liberty to explain to anyone where these billions of dollars for universal health care are coming from, maybe from our own pockets?

Another topic that was brought up was the fact that Hillary Clinton wouldn't make her income tax forms viewable by the public. This usually isn't a big issue, except in her case, she lendt $5 million of her own money to her campaign. If she is getting illigitmate sources of income from false "employers" this could turn into a decent scandal. When something comes out of this, remember I said it first.

They also addressed the fact that Louis Farahkan endorsed Obama this week was brought up as well. Tim Russert and Senator Clinton practically forced Obama to denounce this endorsement as Farahkan is an outward racist and anti-semite.
