The Debate

Last night was the 2nd of three Presidential debates.  As you would expect the news coverage and commentary today was immense.  I was not expecting the boys to come home discussing the merits of Obama and Romney's arguments and philosophies!
Apparently many of the kids in their respective classes watched the debate and today there was much discussion in class.  The boys were aware that Romney wants to 'reduce taxes' and were appalled to learn of his desire to significantly alter social security and welfare allowances for the poor and needy. They all believe Obama will win and think its very interesting to discuss whose parents will be voting for each candidate!
Next week, an adviser of Obama will visit Sam's class and they will hold their own debate.
Somehow I can't imagine them comparing Julia Gillard and Tony Abbott!
