Obama debate

The election is nearing and I thought I would make a comment on the first debate between Obama and McCain. During the debate Obama wouldn't call McCain by his name or address him as "Senator McCain." In fact he called him Jim at one point and acted as though he didn't know him. I found this to be somewhat disrespectful, since McCain always called him Senator Obama.

Harry Truman said once, "In most of my campaigns, I find it best not to mention my opponent by name because, by doing so, it just gives him the chance to get into the headlines."

Okay, so Obama is politically smart. But can he run the country?
