Final McCain/Obama Debate

The debate ended a little bit ago and I have just been browsing the internet while listening to the post-debate analysis. It is very typical: "McCain was terrible... but Barack was great and presidential and so refreshingly different!!!" I thought the debate was better than the last two, but it was still pretty boring. McCain can not be tought, hard as he tries. The problem is that neither of the candidates are real leaders, so you just have two people with authority but no qualities of leadership. In the end the debates and campaigns just seem hollow. It is sad. Where is a leader? President Bush is a leader, Sarah Palin is a leader, Rick Santorum is a leader, Tom Delay is a leader, Newt Gingrich is a leader. But neither of the people we have running for President. I have been a reading a book by John MacArthur called The Book On Leadership and it is so depressing to read because I see how far our candidates fall from being true leaders. But at least McCain has some opinions than Barack and is not friends with racists and communists. I definitely hope McCain wins the election, but I am excited for the day when a true leader rises up (like Ronald Reagan) who posesses the true qualities of leadership and can inspire our nation to follow him. That will be a wonderful day.
