What “pre-screened questions”?

A genuine debate has two people at podiums discussing issues back and forth, not offering 30 second soundbites.

I was referring to this would be the only type of ‘debate’ Obummer would agree to.

No pre-screened anything.
No teleprompter.
No earpiece.
No notes.
No legal pad.
No pen.
No pencil.
No Blackberry.
No iPod.
No phone.
No moderator.
No audience.
No media.
No format.

Put the two of them in any police department's interrogation room, turn on the camera and the microphone, last one out closes and locks the door behind him.

Two men.
One bench.
One microphone.
One TV camera.
ONE HOUR.

Speak your hearts and minds, gents.

Ready?

Go.
