Presidential Debates

By: Katie Schaefer

What is it about the presidential candidates always saying bad things about the other?

Now I understand how by making one presidential candidate look bad, it'll make the other look good, but it always makes them look bad too.

Nobody likes a person that talks bad about everyone around them, but isn't that what the presidential candidates are doing?

I realize that Barack Obama isn't going to go around praising John McCain, but he could say how McCain does have some good points in his plan.

The public would have a lot more respect for a candidate that has his own ideas, but can also admit when his opponent may have a good idea.

Someone has to win, though, and no matter what things aren't going to change. Presidential candidates are still going to put down each others plan.

With all of the debates going on and Nov. 4 closely approaching, Obama and McCain are neck and neck in the polls.
