Oh my gosh, I just finished watching the “roast” at the Alfred E Smith charity dinner. Now that was funny.

I think more people would have watched the debates if our two Presidential Candidates, Senator Obama and Senator McCain, were able to go at each other the way they did. Not only did they make fun of one another but also of themselves. It was hilarious and if you have a chance, Google it, I’m sure it’s on YouTube. Although the purpose was to be funny and it was meant to be funny, some of it was pretty sharp and this setting was probably the only setting that either one of them could have gotten away with the punches. Both of their writers did a great job.

I listened to the last debate last night and basically it was more of the same from both candidates. Senator McCain appeared, to me, to be angry that he wasn’t being heard. I was watching the debate on CNN and you could actually hear Senator McCain sighing into the microphone. Whether the Senator was aware of his sighing or not, his facial expressions also gave into his anger. As far as Joe the Plumber, and making a case for Senator McCain, I think it would have made a better impact if he didn’t keep repeating his case. The rebuttal by Senator Obama made sense, but enough already. Anyway, I’m glad the debates are finally over; I’ll still watch CNN and MSNBC and hear the candidates on the campaign trail and as far as Joe the Plumber, keep your head above water…better, maybe go have a cold one with Joe Six pack.
