Obama Vs John Mccain

The second debate of McCain and Obama was held on Tuesday October seventh, 2008. On this night throughout the debates, I think it’s safe to say, Obama won this one.

Another question addressed was “Obviously the powers of the treasury secretary have been greatly expanded. The most powerful officer in the cabinet now....
