Democratic Debate between Obama and Clinton
February 1st 2008
Overview:
The following
analysis is of the first 30 minutes of the Democratic debate
between Clinton and Obama on the 1st of February 2008. The
main topic discussed in this section was health care. There
appears to be little difference between the candidates and
neither of them are congruent on the topic of health care. It is
obvious the whole issue has major problems that still need to be
resolved. Obama seems to have a condescending attitude but will
promote his plan anyway and Clinton has issues she still needs
to iron out.
Obama: "Thank
you, [well thank you], first of all...."
Be careful (Internal Dialogue as he commences the debate)
Obama: "If we do
that I am confident we can [solve any problem] and we can fulfil
the destiny that America wants to see."
The love in a boss (He sees himself as the boss and relishes
this role)
Clinton: "the
differences between Barak and I pale in comparison to the
differences we have with the Republicans. And I want to [say
that first and] foremost."
We surf by this (Surf - metaphor - to move forward - she
will point out the differences between the Republicans and the
Democrats.)
Obama: "[My
belief is] that if we make it affordable, if we provide
subsidies to those who cant afford it they will buy it."
They feel dumb (Condescending to the US citizens. They don't
fully understand the plan.)
Obama: "On the
mortgage crisis, again [we both believe] that this is a critical
problem."
Feel them fob you (He feels ignored.)
Obama: "I believe
there are people who cant afford it and if we provide them with
[enough subsidies] they will purchase it."
See this fuss on it (There are problems with his plan)
Clinton: "The way
it covers all of those who wish to [participate in the]
Congressional plan is that it will provide subsidies."
In the deficit (Hillary's plan will increase the US deficit)
Clinton: "It will
also cap premiums. Something that [is really] important cos we
want to make sure that it is affordable for all."
We lose it (Her health care plan won't succeed in its
current form.)
Clinton: "What I
concluded when I was looking at this because I got the [same
kind of ad]vice. Its controversial."
Got enough mess (There are problems with her plan and she
knows it.)
Obama: "There are
ways we can address that by for example [making them] pay some
of the back premiums."
Then we gamble (Obama's plan is a gamble.)
Obama: "The
antidote to that is making sure that the [American people]
understand what is at stake. I am absolutely committed to making
sure that anybody in America who needs health care is going to
get it."
I'll beat the drum (He will promote his plan despite its
shortcomings.)
Obama: "They're
getting better treatment. We are actually paying for a dietician
for people to lose weight as opposed to paying for the $30,000
foot amputation. [That will save us money]."
And I'm some asshole (Speaks for itself.)
Clinton: "[It can
be put in]to making sure that our health care system has enough
access."
Hey look, you make it (Despite her plan's problems, she is
pushing forward.)
Clinton: "Well
actually I co-sponsored comprehensive immigration re[form in
200]4 before Barak came to the Senate so I've been on record on
behalf of this for quite some time."
I pissed him off (She scores a point against Obama)
