Chavez and for the future washerwoman-Schultz. She won’t debate either.

Sounds a lot like sour grapes...I bet he’d have loved them if he had had a better performance......Since he didn’t they don’t matter......

Is this excuse number 100 or only number 99.

This one resonates as being based on a kernel of truth.
Obama cannot build a case to support his ideas. When exposed to reality checks, and opposition, his 'grandiose' plans and marxist philosophical musings whither like a flower baked by the noon day sun.

Of course Obama disdains debates. He is all for 'dictating', not for listening and defending his (indefensible) ideas....
I win all my debates in the shower also. Every time.

I am not ‘familiar’ with the defect etc but was assuming that someone with the ego the size of BO’s would never knowingly put himself in a position to ‘look bad’....

I have never been wrong either.(technically once)
I once said Pearl Harbor was 8DEC41, realized I was wrong, then remembered we were discussing it from Japan’s view, so I was right, but was wrong because I thought I was wrong.<:

Right so appearing on “The View” in lieu of actual press conferences is not media-driven gamesmanship but national debates are?

Apparently the campaigning for the Presidency is beneath him. I guess we should just annotate him rather then expect him to work for the job.

What they would probably like to say is that debates are so "white," in the Western tradition of logic and procedures. Expecting Obama (who is black) to be good at debating is unfair, and ... racist.

Like the S.A.T.'s.

May, for me, LOATHE comes pretty close to describing it.

Given Frank Marshall Davis, Rev. Wright, his mother, and other influences in Obama’s life, the words of Mao are probably like mother’s milk to O.

The Incompetent One was exposed during the debate. He’s lazy and not that bright. He spews out slogans on the campaign trail but cannot discuss anything indepth when he is challenged.

He affirmative actioned his way through life. His media sycophants protect him and don’t want their manufactured president to fail. American deserves better.

From Wikipedia:

During presidential elections in the United States, it has become customary for the main candidates (almost always the candidates of the two largest parties, currently the Democratic Party and the Republican Party) to engage in a debate. The topics discussed in the debate are often the most controversial issues of the time, and arguably elections have been nearly decided by these debates (e.g., Nixon vs. Kennedy). While debates aren't constitutionally mandated, it is often considered a de facto election process. The main target for these debates are undecided voters; those who usually aren't partial to either political ideology or party.

Sorry, Barack, but it is an American custom. Think Lincoln versus Douglass, all that American tradition. I always knew you were anti-American. This just proves it.

Another President, one from your party, incidently said it best:

If you can't stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen!

They broke out all his teeth when they banned TOTUS from the Debate. The kenyan didn’t even need to be there. Anyone with a properly presidential voice could have read the scrolling words.

If the kenyan’s people actually believed he was “ahead” he would have likely refused to debate.

I half expect him to cancel the next one.

I may be crazy, but sometimes I wonder if he isn’t just going to drop out all together.

I think there may be some people digging on a substance abuse issue with him, plus if his numbers keep sliding, his strategists may say that if Obama drops out, blaming Bush or Romney or racism or a nervous breakdown or whatever, once again the libs play the victim card, and throw all their resources behind Biden, who may have the reputation of a fool, but not a failure.

It’s just a “what if”, but I’m keeping one eye watching Biden...

He doesn’t like questions from the press either. Oprah, the View seem to be the exception.

Well, he doesn't mind questions such as

"President Obama. Do you ever get choked up when you look in the mirror and recall just how wonderful you are?"
