Barack Obama clearly took command of the first debate and made it clear that we need to work toward ending the war and mending fences with our neighbors.
Obama has a clear understanding of what we need to keep our country safe. He hit a home run on the economy and tax cuts for average Americans, not the wealthy people McCain favors.
John McCain's positions on the war, economy, and tax breaks would mean another term of failed policies.
Eight years of Bush's failed policies is enough. We someone who will work for average Americans: Obama has my vote.
