US debate: your videos

White House hopefuls Barack Obama and John McCain have clashed over foreign policy and the economy in their first debate.

BBC readers have been sending in their video reaction to the debate. Here, four people from across the world respond to the first debate.

Joe says that Obama is charismatic but McCain gives clear-cut examples of how he would act in office.

To be president you need to have well-planned achievable goals, he says.

Amir says there was a big difference in the candidates' attitude to war.

John McCain said he would not use the military again where American forces may be defeated. Obama said he would use military wisely.

Rupert says McCain launched constant attacks on Obama throughout the debate while Obama was more polite and less personal.

Amin thinks Obama won the debate over all. He gave clear answers to all the questions, especially on the financial crisis.

In contrast, McCain struggled with some of his responses, says Amin.
