Now that it is fair game to examine Obama, we don’t want any more debates. Hmm.

He already has. It reminds me of Monty Python - “Run away... Run away.”

"After analyzing the last debate, we've come up with a decision here that it's best to have a forum on urban issues," Clay said." Yep...keep him shackled to your favorite issues urbanite...
Works for me at this point.

Obama can't stand to get his rear end handed to him by a girl again. What a coward.

All the Dems know how to do is “cut and run”. That's all this nonsense is, and that Mayor is a hack/shill disgrace.

.... what Obama decried as "gotcha" issues, including Obama's characterization of "bitter" small town voters and Clinton's faulty recollection of coming under sniper fire during a 1996 visit to Bosnia. Those are not "gotcha" issues. Those are character issues.
Character, Obama, not the color of their skin, is what Martin Luther King dreamed people would some day be judged by.

"After analyzing the last debate, we've come up with a decision here that it's best to have a forum on urban issues," Clay said. It's not clear if Obama backed out or the DNC felt all the fodder from Camp Hillary is hurting their eventual nominee. Frankly I'd like to see Hillary defeated in PA and get on with it.

Obama backing out of debates is become a trend. Not a Obama fan ... but I think this debate thing has gone way overboard. What is the current count ... 20 plus?

So Obama is ready to debate Armanajinadad, Kim Il-Sung, Castro, Chavez and assorted bad guys but not in front of the American people.

Hm. Obama showed he’s not ready for prime time and the brothuh knows it.

By my count, there hasn’t been a single presidential debate since the 1980s. Every other “debate” has been canned questions and answers, but nothing that resembles a real debate. A real debate would require candidates to state a resolution, then defend it from a counterstatement from the other candidate. The alternative would be for debaters to qustion eachother. What we have now is bread and circuses. Every tough question is left without a follow up. The only exception was when Obama was drilled about the capital gains tax (and he clearly showed he had no idea what he was talking about).
Instead of asking whether Obama ever supported a gun ban in Illinois, ask him if he supports a national gun ban now (he does). What is his position on abortion? Partial birth abortion? How, exactly did Bush “fail” in dealing with Iran’s nuclear ambitions? Would Hillary or Obama have offered to sacrifice Israel? Obama also did not commit to use of force if Israel were threatened—why was he left off the hook with his “appropriate response” answer? What did that mean? Would he or would he not use force? At least Hillary made it clear that she would respond with “massive retaliation”.
All of these debates have been a joke.
