Debates

Not sure how anyone could sit and watch the debate the other night without feeling the need to change the channel often.
Maybe it's because I live in Ohio, for whenever I hear President Obama's voice, I have to switch the channel since he seems to endorse every commercial during the nightly news, The Big Bang Theory, or NFL football.
That's the only tv I watch outside of Netflix and PBS, and those two don't have political commercials, yet.
Why bother with the debates? Mr. Obama has been president long enough that his record speaks for itself as to whether he deserves another four years.
Actually, I don't think I've watched a Presidential debate since Bush/Gore. I don't remember anything that W said, but Gore was soooooo whiny  in a monotone way that thinking the word "lock box" makes me cringe. Or I can be imagining something I saw on SNL.
Never liked Gore. Found the way he said "Tipper" annoying, and the fact that he consumed more electricity than a third world country despite being an "environmentalist," made me question his sincerity about anything.
I find Gore's eyebrows creepy. Does he have any? I really don't trust people that lack them.
Now that I think about it, the VP debate seems pointless unless you think that both primary candidates are equal and the VP serves as a tie breaker. Neither will have any purpose once elected, yet they debate each other. Might as well have two empty chairs debate for it would accomplish the same end result as far as I'm concerned.
A VP usually hurts the ticket more than benefit it. Ross Perot deliberately picked a loon so to not get elected without bowing out. Perot supposedly ran for office out of spite for some snubbing that GHW Bush gave him. Perot made sure Clinton won, though I doubt he cared for Clinton.
Aside from NAFTA, what exactly did Clinton accomplish?
