After exhaustive meetings between the Republicans and Democrats, the debate schedule for the upcoming general election between Republican John McCain and Democrat Barack Obama has been set.
"In determining these debates, we had to take into account the schedules of each candidate and their positions on several important domestic and international issues. Regrettably, we weren’t able to schedule both candidates on any one given night, so each debate will have the candidate questioned separately, on different nights, in front of a live studio audience comprised purely of randomly selected independent voters.
For John McCain, who will be interviewed behind a podium under the glare of studio lights, the interrogations will be held by Chris Matthews and Keith Olbermann, two of the more respected and non-biased news people in the business. Questions will test his knowledge of modern day economics and how the U.S. position interacts on a global basis, how to effectively solve inter-tribal disputes between Shia and Sunni Muslims and how best to implement democracy and peace in Iraq. His stance on Iran and his support of a pre-emptive strike against this peace-loving nation is of particular interest. For Barack Obama, his interviews will be held by hard hitting journalist Katie Couric and will take place in a living room setting complete with the warm glow of table lamps and a fire in the background will include such questions as how many states are in the union, what is the capital of Illinois, what river separates the eastern U.S. from western U.S., in what hemisphere is the U.S. located and finally, what ocean lies off the western coast of the United States.”
Said a Democratic Party spokesperson, “Although these questions on the surface may look uneven, we feel it’s important the American voter realize that Obama knows a lot of stuff about the U.S. that is generally unknown to his supporting block, Democrats and typical public school graduates.”
Developing..
No Ron Paul??
Another brilliant piece.
New TV game show: “Are You Smarter Than a Presidential Candidate?”
And a nurse, gurney and IV will be placed behind McCain... should they be needed.
It’s a send up, Johnny.
The funny thing is, McCain would probably do better at his questions than Obama would do at his. And actually, Obama’s segment probably ought to be hosted by Jeff Foxworthy, with a panel of five fifth-graders to help Barry out.
“Presidential debate schedule has been approved - McCain vs. Obama”
Liberal schmooze fest.
No matter HOW the debates take place, think Nixon/Kennedy.
and McCain ain’t Kennedy.
Well, it’s unlikely they couldn’t stage some sort of electronic debate between the two candidates, with Obama in his comfortable living room by the fire, and McCain at the CNN studio under the klieg lights.
Obama would be given the questions ahead of time, and would read the answers from his teleprompter.
re...your tagline...
Conservatives who won’t vote for McCain believe that eating the turd by not voting is better than picking it up at all...
This should be fun. The entire country will get to see mclame hug and kiss fake messiahs feet and tell him what a great President he’ll make!!
You go ahead and vote for that POS. He has told me over and over again that he does not need nor want my vote. I believe that he does not even deserve it. But you go ahead. Hell, maybe you’ll even get him elected.
Your choice in 2012 will be a Joe Liebermann “conservative.”
Yep.
Obama isn't Kennedy or Nixon. Nixon at least had brains.
“Obama isn’t Kennedy or Nixon. Nixon at least had brains”
For the purposes of todays lesson, lets pretend that Americans are more concerned with style than substance.
Oh. Wait a minute....
Boy did you hit that nail on the head....regarding Foxworthy and Obama.
Nixon had brains and male testies.
LOL! This is better than scrapplface!
What a waste of time and space.
Hope that turd tastes good.
You know I’m right, at least partially.
