premise: I was impressed with Obama at the Saddleback Church presidential candidate event . He was thoughtful and humble and gave smart intelligent answers . McCain came out and gave his best public performance this year . He seemed well - prepared and did not look tired and confused as has been the case in some public forums . There were still McCain problems in that instead of having a conversation about important issues he played to the crowd and told stories he must have told hundred of times . What may have been your reason for being impressed with Obama ?
hypothesis: Obama was just like McCain .
