Last Night

My wife and I watched Rush Hour 3, which is a decent comedy, but obviously not a great movie. My wife mentioned she wanted to see what Paris looks like as we are going there this Fall.

When the movie finished we split our time watching the debate and American Idol and both were comical in thier own rights. Idol finally voted off Miss Cook which in my opinion was the obvious choice, and if I had my way both of the candidates would have been voted off the debate last night as well.

Not one answer from what I saw made any sense.

On the economy, Obama could not agree with Charlie Gibson that the lowered capital gains tax actually generates more revenue. He wanted to say something in regards to reading an article and raising the tax level to roughly 28%. A bad move in my opinion.

On the person themselves. Clinton actually took the high road and said that her Bosnia gaffe was a mistake along with admitting to having a lot of baggage. I guess she knows why half of us hate her and the other half love her. Obama justs wants to move forward and try and side step his association with Rev. Wright and Mr. William Ayers ( a known US terrorist). He never really discussed the issue.

Foreign Policy: Clinton was a bit stronger, but both of them failed as they cling to their defeatist comments, except in regard to Israel. Clinton would actually back the country up, whereas Obama would take appropriate action (means doing nothing) if attacked by Iran.

About the only thing I agree with, in part, was the Social Security agenda of Obama, but in the same breath I would disagree with the cap issue that was associated with it. At least he has a desire to fix it.

Raising taxes is something they both want to do. WRONG.

The rest of it was hogswash.

Discuss if you want to. I'll reply to each one who does.
