We cats are not jittery types, but we have to admit we were on the edge of our seats throughout tonight's debate.
It was Senator McCain's breathless, urgent delivery. Good heavens, we thought, is he going to have a heart attack?
Well, thankfully he didn't. (Although the behavior of his running mate these past few days should certainly give him one.) It's just that we vastly preferred the calm, reasoned and — we have to say this — Presidential demeanor of Senator Obama.
After all... Our 401(k) is tanking. We don't know how we're going to retire or even be able to pay our mortgage next month. We can't afford to put food on the table or gas in our car. We wonder how we're going to send our kids to college, and we're worried about our elderly parents and the astronomical cost of health care.
With all that on the table, we sure don't need a President who makes us nervous.
Oh, and P.S.:
We cats really, really, really didn't like it when Senator McCain referred to Senator Obama as "That one." It was inappropriate, disrespectful and — yes, vaguely racist. We SNARL at that.
