The third and final presidential debate has just been wrapped up with Barack Obama ending his part with a promise to work very hard every single day for the people of America if he were to be voted. Earlier in the debate, the Democrat candidate had to face some tough questions proposed by his opposition, John McCain.
At one point, McCain brought up Obama's link to the controversial William Ayers, a Chicago professor and Vietnam-era domestic terrorist. Obama defended himself, saying that he was a child when Ayers made his moves and that he has denounced some of Ayers' views. Obama made it clear that he and Ayers only worked at the same charity foundations in Chicago but he is not a supporter of Ayers.
The negative attacks from McCain continued with him asking Obama to name one occasion where he ever stood up for his own party on one single major issue. After Obama's answer, which can be seen in the video below, McCain said that "it's not very convincing".
The polls are rushing in, with CNN citing that the debate watchers are 40% Democrats and 30% Republicans and that Obama is in the lead with 58%, sending him a strike three.
The debate was held at Hofstra University, in Hempstead, New York and focused on domestic policies.

You wake up one day at a house you've lived at for 20 years. You've worked hard like everyone else, gone to your job, and paid your taxes. You walk out into your back yard and find a puddle of oil that's surfaced. Next you drill for that oil. Someone in the Middle East is born. Their father is an oil executive. They're rich for as long as they're alive. You're telling me these people earned their wealth? Stumbling upon natural resources that you're born into doesn't really qualify as earnings. Some wealthy people are just lucky. It's obsurd to think everyone earns their wealth by working hard. You could work hard everyday of your life and still have to make financial sacrifices at every turn. Why shouldn't the government work to give people who weren't blessed with the luck to be rich opportunities to be successful. Too often it works the other way around. More taxes on $1,000,000 of income or more won't mean the difference between feeding your family a healthy meal everynight like it would for a single mom who's taxed 15% on an income of $18,000. But maybe you're right, incognito, maybe it'll be hard to feed your rich family if you have less pork to line your pockets.
reply to NoMo BushCain: For a long time, people have regarded the rich as evil people who only want to take more money from everyone else. This simply is not true, most of those who are rich today have worked very hard for their money and deserve it. Exceptions are obviously present, such as celebrities. But to take money from people who worked for it is basically stealing. If i work 1 hour at the same job as you and you work 3 hours (and we both work at the same pace), WHY would i deserve the same amount of money as you? Redistribution of wealth is wrong.
Job may be easy to spell, but how can you get a job when there aren't any? isn't that a big issue? creating more jobs? mccain has said he isn't well rounded when it comes to dealing with the economy. we need smarts right now, not radical judgment.
Does McCain even know and understand what middle class is? This country needs change. McCain already stated that economics is not his area of expertise. So Proud American, you go ahead and vote for McCain and if he is elected you can watch America be faced with the consequences of the same thing we've had for the past 8 years.
I'm surprised there are still people out there wanting McCain to be the next president. McCain and his pet Palin will take the country backwards instead of moving forward, which bugs me. and how dare people blame Obama for being associated with terrorists and stuff. he was raised in a Muslim world, so what? those who vote for McCain actually vote for Sarah Palin, because old McCain will die very soon before he's done with his only term (assuming people realize their mistakes). my dear fellow Americans, don't make the same mistake you made electing Bush. you've still got 19 more days to go
McCain continued his LIES as usual. Obama made clear so the rest of the intelligent people could understand, his positions. McCain is nothing but a King George Jr. !!!!! I'm an independent but after what the republicans have done with our country in the past eight years is enough. It'll take decades to straighten it out!
For 8 years we have been victimized by the policies of the rich and wealthy and we are in a world of financial and moralistic trouble. It's time for a change. Suck it up proud American because ity's going to be your turn to be on the other side of the coin.
These debates don't change informed people's minds. Debates are purely for the undecided voter, who decides for the rest of us who will be president. It is like picking a cake by the color of it's frosting. It isn't until you have a piece do really see what your getting. Go out and vote your own mind.
McCain won the final debate and changed this mind of who to vote for! Ovomit is a socialist and will raise our taxes. He can spread his wealth but he's not touching mine. I work hard for my money and the freeloaders can just go get a job.....it's easy to spell J O B!
