WASHINGTON (CNN) -- In their first head-to-head debate, Sen. John McCain criticized Sen. Barack Obama as a candidate who "doesn't understand" the key issues the country faces, and Obama linked McCain to President Bush on several issues.
"I'm afraid Sen. Obama doesn't understand the difference between a tactic and a strategy," McCain said Friday as the two traded jabs over Iraq.
Obama shot back, "I absolutely understand the difference between tactics and strategy. And the strategic question that the president has to ask is not whether or not we are employing a particular approach in the country once we have made the decision to be there."
McCain drew from his experience overseas as he tried to portray himself as the more qualified candidate.
"Incredibly, incredibly Sen. Obama didn't go to Iraq for 900 days and never asked for a meeting with Gen. [David] Petraeus," he said.
- this is just an introduction to the entire article. you should go to the html and read the entire thing and see how these two go back and fourth attacking eachother time and time again. It doesnt really seem to be a debate, but sort of a hostile argument of two men competing for the presidency, trying to bash one another and make eachother look bad. I watched part of this debate and frankly, i think John McCain looked pretty stupid trying to insult the intelligence of Obama. For every thing McCain said to attack and critize Obama, Obama responded with making point after point and actually explaining what he can do for the country and the plans he has for the relavent issues at hand, rather than McCain trying to make himself look more qualified just because he is old.
