Over the next four years, the next President of the United States is going to have to grapple with some of the most complex and profoundly important issues that we have had to deal with as a country for at least a generation. We all know what these issues are - we see the consequences of them on regular basis at the gas pump, the increase in home foreclosure sales in our neighborhoods, families we know whose sons and daughters have shipped off to Iraq and Afghanistan, the sudden jump in food prices at the grocery store. And this is merely what's been making headlines in the past week.
I don't know what percentage of the future president's time the abovementioned issues will consume. But for all the importance placed on the economic and foreign policy issues, I was glad to see that someone finally zeroed in on the tough issues that the next president will need to confront and to delve into in great detail. Thank you ABC:

These important issues totaled 50 minutes of last night's 90-minute debate, well over half of it. And it's about time a network finally had the wisdom and understanding to foresee that the next President of the United States is going to need to spend at least half of his or her time grappling with these issues, and finding solutions to the problems stemming from them that impact the lives of everyday Americans.
It's about damn time. Thank you ABC.
