That’s how it appears:
A coalition of military groups is planning a nationally televised town-hall-style meeting with the presidential candidates near Fort Hood, Tex., the largest active-duty military installation in the country. But so far, only Senator John McCain of Arizona, the presumptive Republican nominee, has agreed to attend.
CBS has agreed to broadcast the meeting live from 9 to 11 p.m. Eastern time on Monday, Aug. 11. The candidates would face questions directly from an audience of 6,000 people, made up of veterans, service members and military families from the base.
Senator Barack Obama of Illinois, the presumptive Democratic nominee, has not agreed to participate.
Obama advisor Phil Carter says that Obama “unfortunately had a previously scheduled commitment on the date proposed.” That is unfortunate!! Except, the organizer of the event says she has always been flexible on dates: “We made it very clear to them that if they would commit to the event, we would work with them on dates.”
I guess he pledged to aggressively seek an agreement with the director on dates for the military event.
YES HE IS!
Obama’s only contact with the military is General Weasley Clark, the General who almost started World War III.
I hope they prop-up an Obama doll behind his podium.
That's how it is
He’s dead, Jim.
- Oops, wrong one.
5 will get yoy 10 that cBS cancels its coverage.
Good question.
How about a real birth cirtificate?
How about some medical records?
I never have seen a confirmation on all three. Just rumors.
***I hope they prop-up an Obama doll behind his podium.***
OH, that would be great!
OBAMA IS A COWARD!
I’m not sure where one would look for that. It must be public information at some level, with the number of things that ‘failing to register’ disqualifies you for - some kind of database to check against.
***5 will get yoy 10 that cBS cancels its coverage.***
That was just what I thought, too.
Maybe we should all email CBS and tell them how much we’re looking forward to watching their show.
I’ll bet this sissy sits to pee.
Of course he is, but the focus of the articleis wrong. Obama isn’t avoiding the military. His handlers are having him avoid anywhere he can’t just recite a planned, canned, written-by-someone-else speech. Why? Because he is a gaff prone idiot, and answering open questions would be a disaster for him.
“CBS has agreed to broadcast the meeting live from 9 to 11 p.m. Eastern time on Monday, Aug. 11”
Way to go, SEE B.S., nothing like a Prime Time slot for
a Presidential forum.
Frickin’ Commies!
Note to self: Eastern time, moron.
Doh!
Isn’t there any way anybody can find this out?
If Mr. and Mrs. Bubba Six Pack found out he never registered for selective service, this might not set well.
