Pres. Debate #3: Obama Takes the High Road Laid Back

My take on tonight's debate was:

Obama pluses:
-Health care-nailed McSame on increasing the cost
-Tax proposal efanged the "spread the wealth" canard
-Discredit of McSame budget freeze
-Far more Presidential demeanor, but will Joe Lunchbucket notice or care

Minuses
-Budget freeze amplification missed, i.e. a violation of good economics to do in a recession
-not counter continuing lie that he would raise small busines taxes though he did point out that 95% of them were below $250k income hence 5% get no tax increase.
-not rebutt lies about Biden
-not attack Palin's competence, though that may have been sit on your lead strategy
-did not counter the ironic comparison to Hoover with "you should know John given your policy is the same as Hoover's"
-did not counter "should have run 4 years ago if want to run v. Bush" with "I think I am running against him now since there is no difference between your policies and his."

Both ducked any specifics on the salient financial bailout issue although McSame tried to explain a proposal for home mortgages that was gobbldygook.
