This is installment five of the things that people would not like to hear at the McCain and Obama debate this week and number ten finishes off the list. I was a day late getting it updated, sorry for breaking the chain.
10. Act like the future president of the United States of America.
If you stand there laughing at the other candidate or sneering at their responses you both illicit two distinct and yet similar feelings from us. These emotions you inspire are that of an old man or a disrespectful youth. Either way, the last thing we want to see is a president that can’t act professional with someone he disagrees with. We are the United States, act like you represent the best we have to offer. From these debates we will decide if you will act like a leader in control that other nations had better listen to, “Joe six-pack” after two cases of beer or “Biff the fratboy” that acts like a know it all jerk.
After all these and many other valid points, it would be great to have a straight up debate that lets us learn about the two of you and allows us to feel good about whatever choice we do make. It would be good to not feel like having to settle for the lesser of two evils yet again.
