There is a big difference between cancelling the debate and postponing it. Why can’t Obama postpone the event? What is more important? Or is it because he won’t have time to get prepared for the second one, which is on Oct 7?
“Sen. McCain, while excited to discuss his years of experience and future ideas for US foreign policy, and while also recognizing the great importance of this topic and how it pertains to the future of our great country, feels that tonight is not the night for a debate on the subject. He is hard at work in Washington, trying to ensure that every citizen of the United States can go to sleep tonight knowing that Sen. John McCain is doing everything in his power to get this economy back on track. Sen. McCain, as he has done many times previous, extends yet again an offer to Sen. Obama for a weekly townhall meeting, at locations all over the country, on every and any topic, beginning next Friday. Thank you, and God Bless America.”
