Obama Runs From McCain’s Challenge On Debates

  •  August 3, 2008

You’d think the public speaking master, the guy the New York Times described as “a man of few rhetorical stumbles,” would want lots of debates so that he could contrast his artful speaking and grasp of the issues with his opponent.
Apparently Obama is interested in no such thing. Which tells us volumes, doesn’t it?
Obama is great when he’s reading off a teleprompter, running through a rehearsed script or speech or regurgitating the talking points his army of advisers feed him. He’s not so good when he’s challenged and has to come up with answers off the top of his head.
Put simply: Obama is all image, and not a whole lot of substance.

    Obama sounds like a bumbling moron when you take his telepromter away…

    I’m surprised the media hasn’t reported on Barry’s debate team accomplishments in school.

    I am really looking forward to the debates. That is where Obama is really going to show the stark contrast between him and McCain.

    When they come, and McCain starts to drop in the polls, I am going to look forward to how Rob stumbles for excuses to explain away the “mystery”.

    Heh.

    Most certainly! McCain will show himself to be a credible, rational human being with a command of the facts, and Obama will say, “And did I mention, I’m black?”

    Obama is SO confident of doing well in the debates, that he went from wanting to debate “anywhere, any time” to as few debates as possible at times that most of the American public won’t see them. Yeah. That Obama!

    BTW, people who identify themselves as “Democrats” have already begun to drop in the polls! Maybe the “Ich bin ein beginner” tour had something to do with that?

    Why Poof, how you have moved to the center. Just a few months ago, you were whining about how McCain is wrong on so many issues, (hello immigration reform).

    You have a choice from the left to “lefter”. I enjoy watching you being tricked to move to the center. And you do it with glee.

    I was wondering if he would run away from an honest debate, not youtube snowmen that were uncovered to be Democrat, Obama and Clinton supporters by bloggers in about 15 minutes. What a sham and a shame, CNN.

    No Town Hall meeting and only the obligatory three debates. In an actual unscripted debate, McCain will eat Obama alive.

    We may have widely different views on McCain’s plans and ideals… but at least he has both. Obama has Oprah and his celebrity personae.

    I saw John McCain up close and personal last week at a townhall meeting in Wisconsin: He was great: a true American hero, a competent leader; the townhall meeting format is his best venue. He is relaxed and even a “come to Jesus” heckler didn’t rattle him. Well, think about it: he was imprisoned and tortured for almost six years in a POW camp. I don’t imagine he gets upset about too much in comparison. I am a Conservative through and through: I no longer have any hesitation about John McCain. He is a good and decent man: consider the alternative and be afraid. Be very afraid.
    BO won’t agree to townhall meetings, knowing McC will crush him. He’s a coward. McC should continue to do them anyway: lots of them.
    Congrats Hannitized on being Hannitized! Did Sean play the harp music for you?

    Why Poof, how you have moved to the center.

    Because I oppose the biggest Leftist in the Senate? I oppose a man whose close companions are unrepentant domestic terrorists and racist Black Nationalists and that puts me in the center?

    Han-job: The only thing that your “analysis” has with reality is the “anal” part! You pull this stuff straight out of your ass!

    I enjoy watching you being tricked to move to the center. And you do it with glee.

    Tricked, eh? I still disagree with McCain on a number of issues. I disagreed with George W on a number of issues. The fact that I can recognize McCain as a man of integrity standing against a man of no certain convictions, a spineless naif waiting to see which way the wind blows, with a predisposition against the Constitutional rights of American citizens, I have not been tricked.

    The only “trickster” around here is one of Obama’s leftist fellow travelers who claims to be “Hannitized”.

    BTW, if you believe that the stark contrast in the debates between McCain and Obama will reflect favorably on Obama, then you are even more delusional than I suspected!

    Barack Obama didn’t even win a majority of Democrat voters. He’s going to get creamed in an open debate. Even Kos and DU are getting sick of this clown.

    Can you take 7+ minutes of “uh”s? All from one speech!
