Obama Shows He is Coward Once Again

Posted on June 14, 2008

Obama on Friday rejected McCain’s proposal for 10 joint town-hall appearances, question-and-answer gatherings before small audiences that the Republican senator tends to favor. The Democrat has performed best at massive, emotional rallies drawing tens of thousands of people.
Obama has offered to meet McCain in five joint appearances between now and the Nov. 4 election, but only one of those would be town hall-style and it would be on the July 4th Independence Day holiday, when few Americans would be watching. McCain called the offer “a very disappointing response.”
McCain had said the more intimate town-hall format would allow real interaction with voters and would be more revealing than formal televised debates. It also would give him free media attention alongside the better-funded Obama.

Yes, lets only do a real debate when everyone’s outside grilling, drinking, spending time and watching fireworks instead of television. One would think Obama is afraid to step outside the media narrative he’s been cushioned with. One would most likely be correct.

Ed Morrissey:

Even with that said, the response from the Obama camp hardly seems courageous. They only want their candidate to participate in a free-form debate on July 4th, when most people will be more interested in emptying their childrens’ college funds to pay for the gas for their vacation? It seems that hope and change do not bring testicular fortitude. Why not just do it at 2 am and have it televised on C-SPAN 3, or ESPN 2?
After Obama’s last debate performance, however, one can hardly blame David Axelrod for limiting Obama’s extemporaneous speech opportunities. The April performance in Pennsylvania was so bad that the campaign simply refused to debate Hillary Clinton at all afterwards, skipping out on a debate offer in the friendly territory of North Carolina. They will try to force McCain into the same game-show format as that Pennsylvania debate, not because it favors Obama but because he’s likely to do less damage to his cause than in a format in which an aggressive McCain can dominate him.

Bwahahahah! According to Fox, McCain said that Obama has more pre-conditions for a debate with him than with Ahmadinejad.

Reminds me of what Arizonas governor Janet Napolitano did in the run up to the election.

Surprisingly, this tactic works well for dhimmicraps. The less they say, the less that people can criticise them on.
