    There seems to be a fair bit of interest about Obama, if you're interested in heading down to see a debate about whether or not he's a change we can believe in then swing by to AC204 at 19:00 on Monday the 27th of October in NUIG.

    Speaking in favor of Obama is Dr. Brendan Flynn, a politics lecturer in NUIG

    Speaking against is Richard Boyd-Barrett, Dail candidate for the People before Profit Alliance and Chairman of the Irish Anti-War Movement.

    The debate is open to the public and boardsies would be especially welcome.

    Nah, it's free and no pre-registering is required.

    Swing on down if your interested. (I've yet to see Boyd-Barrett arguing but he's meant to be a good 'un and I had Flynn as a lecturer last year; he was brilliant)

    Are the two debators actually of the mindset of being for and against? something smells...

    Eh?

    For: He'll be speaking that Obama will deliver the change he promises
    Against: Will be saying why he thinks Obama won't deliver.

    Not that complicated really.
