Obama Declines McCain's Town Hall Invite
Right Up Front ^ | 06/12/2008 | Katy L Vidales

Posted on 06/13/2008 10:36:01 AM PDT by KatyLoraleyVidales

Senator Obama refused Senator McCain's offer for the two of them to appear in 10 joint Town hall Sessions between now and the November Election. Camp McCain offered to join Senator Obama in 10 Town hall session through out the country leading up to the November election immediately after Clinton called it quits. These town hall session which McCain has become increasingly comfortable with were a great play from Camp McCain... Realizing that Obama doesn't do well without a script infront of him or being told what to think, McCain seized the opportunity to capitalize on this and pitched the offer. These Town hall meetings would be rather information, with no moderator, no pre-selected questions, scripts, or prompters. The questions would come from your Average Joe Americans attending the event. David Plouffe, campaign manager for Obama, offered 5 joint-appearances on behalf of his candidate with one of them being the Town hall session. Obama's inability to commit to the olive branch extended by McCain camp portrays him as unable to commit to a simply conversation with his opponent at the expense of the American voters. This displays Obama's insecurity with public speaking, especially after his Jerusalem comments, "mistake of a baby" comments, and lets not forget his "57 states" comment. Improv is not Senator Obama's strong suit...

Wonder if the GOP will be smart enough to make an issue of this.

So much for a change in the system of debates. Obama is scared. He knows he needs the media darlings to hand deliver him softballs and a townhall Q&A can’t deliver that.

Smart and the GOP do not go hand in hand these days. Just look at the idiot we have for the party’s nominee.

“Wonder if the GOP will be smart enough to make an issue of this.”

Some will mention it but it will not become an issue. I’m beginning to believe this is all just a “go through the motions” election.

Even if they were smart enough, all that would happen is Obama would raise his voice saying "NO!" and the GOP would whine and wet the floor like a scared puppy.

Chick, chick, CHICKEN!!

Obammy, the Stepford candidate. The Manchurian candidate. The Empty suit, the marxist, the leftist, the crypto Muslim.

Obama is the end of the US if he’s elected.

Barry is afraid he’ll be asked something not scripted in advance and approved by the DNC, which is why he’ll stick to the “objective” TV network debates.
