Watching the debate, I thought Obama should've been more forceful and willing to refute McCain's "you are wrong", "you are naive" and "you don't get it" statements.
But, in retrospect, Obama was only right to keep his cool. If Obama had snapped, John McCain could have easily played the victim, making Obama the agressive black dude. That would've made him lose not only the debate, but the election as well. F-word News would have a field day.
I wanted this debate to show each presidentiable's stand on specific issues, and Obama did just that in a clear, calm and professional manner.
