OBAMA DID NOT EARN A SECOND TERM-&-
THE OUT-DATED DEBATE FORMAT HAS TO BE CHANGED



 THE KUHNS REPORT


LAS VEGAS - Hello America, and how is the world treating you?

First, I would like to say I voted for Obama. That said, watching Obama's recent first of three presidential debates was like watching a car crash along side a highway. This guy shouldn't be president for a second term. He not only appeared out of it as if he were somewhere on another planet but his answers were the  same old, tired, regurgitated stump speech gobbly-gook. How many times can a person hear, "we need a level playing field, everyone needs a fair shot, a fair shake." Christ, that is the same old babble of yesteryear. He uses it in every speech he makes around the country. We, the American people have heard all of this before.

Obama did not have any original  ideas to add to the debate. He was like a parrot spouting the same old lines. He might as well have said: "Polly wants a cracker." He is said to be an eloquent speaker. I was expecting much more from this intelligent man during a face-to-face battle.

I submit that if Obama really wanted to receive a second term as President of these United States he should have shown clearly and deliberately, with enthusiasm and knowledge that he could stand up to a second term. He did none of that.

Also, these presidential debate formats is obsolete and ready for the trash bin. The format was originated back i the 1960's and they do the candidates no favors. The moderator in this debate should have been sent out to pasture years ago. He may have been a good moderator at one time but PLEASE!!! He let the debate run amok. He had no control over the debate. He allowed the candidates to run over time frames continually. I would say this entire debate format should be given its last rites.

I would suggest that the two candidates be put on a stage, sitting at a table across from one another and allowed o go at it head-to-head discussing different issues. No moderator. Instead, just a person acting as a referee to keep them on point and to prevent them from standing on a soap box and evading the issues of debate.

Folks, a debate is just that, a debate, usually between two people. Each participant has ample opportunity to present their side but this Mickey-Mouse moderated, "I'll ask the question's and you will have two or three minutes to respond" format "IS NOT a DEBATE."  It is a dog and pony show.-And, that is my opinion. Make your own decisions. You decide.
