Yes they are definately way too controlled. Our government is on toatal hiatus.

They claim they are helping us all so much and they tell us what they are gonna do for us, and yet when we ask a question that is not to their liking we get detained or tasered like the young man that the previous article spoke about. I find it so disgusting that we are supposed to be allowed freedom of speech and yet when we ask a question what happens? Yes you gussed it detained and tased. This can sometimes be so sickning to me its horrible. I think our government needs to get their fingers out of there you know where im talking about and get over the feeling that they are so much better than a common civilian. Shouldn't they know that when they are elected we are the ones who put them in that state of importance. Personally I would like to see a prsident out there helping us and I mean truly helping us. I dont mean sitting behind a desk and stamping letters and playing solitare on the computer either. I mean someone that will get out there and roll up their sleeves and get a little dirty. We have so many problems in the world today, I know it is impossible for one person to fix them all but he or she can start by fixing the ones they can. I know there job isn't easy they do carry the weight of the world on their shoulders sometimes. I feel that one day that I will be able to see a President who will really always have time to listen to the views of the people and will not get offended by any idea that is directed their way by a civilian.So to end this yes I think that presedential debates are too controled.
