Your Name 10/15/08 pd 1/2 Wiki Debate Response #1 ** Original Response: ** “It's Obama Time!!! ” I'm not gonna sit here a bash McCain because for all I know personally he's probably a good man. But America can't take a chance with another republican. For years republicans talked about tax cuts and fighting terrorism when slowly our own economy was falling to pieces. At the same time they knew the tax cuts would only benefit the wealthy. Barrack Obama is for change he wants to help out America as a whole.His tax plan will give a tax break to middle class families, which makes sense because they make up most of America and has been taxed tremendously and unfairly while republicans have been in office. He wants to restore the sense of togetherness in America, no matter what race, or religion. Who wouldn't want that? He wants to make health care and college tuition more affordable so that life can be easier not only for us but for our children and grandchildren. Barrack Obama has the missing puzzle pieces to a better and stronger economy. So vote for him so that when he gets in office he will put those missing puzzle pieces where they belong and put this broken country back together again.
 * Chosen **** Prompt: **  Barack Obama or John McCain? Who should be the next president of the United States? WHY?

// Peer Response: // “NOBAMA”—MHS10-NicoleD Obama should not be the next president, I mean honestly the guy won't swear in under the bible, not to mention he doesn't want to pledge to our nations flag. That's simply rediculous. At least we can be sure McCain loves his country, the man served in war already and was a POW for 5 years, he is the shining example of a patriot. GO MCCAIN. //My reply:// Who cares about pledging to the flag! It's a symbol our country, not a god we give thanks to or worship. The pledged of allegiance to the flag didn't come about until the 1960's! We should pledged allegiance to the constitution, the constitution is the basis of this country. The constitution made this country great. The Constitution is for the people and by the people but McCain and republicans have corrupted and completely misused the Constitution rights. So pledging or not pledging to the flag means nothing! It has no basis that just because McCain pledges he is better fit for our country. This election has nothing to do with pledging and patriotism it's about getting a president in office that will change this country for the better. Someone who will step out of the box and out of the old ways of politics. That person IS Obama! // Peer Response: // “NOBAMA”—MHS10-BrennanD The fact is Obama has no backbone and in order to change a country you have to vote against your party occasionally which his first year in office he only did 6 % of the time and that's when he did vote yes or no. 130 times he voted present that isn't a yes or a no that's a, i showed up to vote but cant decide. Obama also voted "present" on legislation making it easier to send juveniles to adult court. Now do you want that. Children should be treated as so and Obama had no opinion on the issue. HMmm i think i want a president to preserve my rights and if i screw up now at least i will be a juvenile and when i turn 18 have it erased but him he lets someone else decide for him whether or not we can be charged as adults easier. Our economy is in dire need of retribution and im not sure his 2! years as senator are enough experience. I mean he hasnt even finished his first term what makes him qualified to be president his charm and ability to be a leader. Obama needs a couple more years under his belt before i trust him with our depressed economy //My Reply:// More experience! What more do you need! He's been a senator for more than 10 years! Just like Rodney said Sarah Palin has only been a governor for less than a year! Governor of Alaska of all places! And senator McCain is pretty old and if something happens to him I don't think I want a "hockey mom" with no experience of being in congress running my country.
