they were good! sort of. watch them!

toby and I think that barack answered many of the questions perfectly. he has a good understanding of the heart of each issue and is truly a good student of history. and i'm not talking about how he knows lots of facts. I mean he is good at figuring out how we got to the current status of things, and what we need to do to get to a better state of things.
however,
an important question that the democratic candidates are going to have to answer, especially to gain more widespread support is, how are they going to make Americans richer? in other words, how are they going to spur future economic developments in America.
the answer that i will be looking for is a policy that encourages and supports research and innovation. that is what has brought wealth to America, and it is what will continue to bring wealth.

Lynn is blue_skied, btw. the youtube debates were fun! Barack Obama has a good understanding of fundamental issues and how to solve them, rather than just like someone said band-aids for problems. His response to reparations for African Americans for slavery made the most sense to me. It's really an ongoing problem of racism that needs to be solved; that would be the ultimate reparation.
