What I learned from the first presidential debate

1. Barack Obama "doesn't seem to understand" a lot, according to John McCain.
2. John McCain is very well traveled. For every place Sarah Palin hasn't been, he has.
3. The candidates prefer to talk to Jim Lehrer than each other, despite Lehrer's best efforts.
4. Candidates continue to misrepresent things their opponent just said, despite it being obvious to the least educated viewer that it's not what the opponent said or intended.
5. This "Wall Street" versus "Main Street" language isn't going away anytime soon. Ugh.

Can I add that the foreign policy of John McCain sounds a whole lot like what George W. Bush and his neoconservatives did in their first four years? At least Barack Obama understands that America doesn't have to be a bully to be a great country.
