Obama: Let’s Campaign, Not Have More Debates (sore loser)
The CNN Wire ^ | April 17, 2008 | CNN

Posted on 04/17/2008 4:58:10 PM PDT by Tea in the Harbor

(CNN) — Barack Obama on Thursday suggested that he and Democratic rival Sen. Hillary Clinton have debated enough and that he’d rather spend his time campaigning in the closing weeks of the campaign.

The two debated Wednesday night in Philadelphia — their final meeting before Tuesday’s primary in Pennsylvania. Clinton has agreed to a debate next week, but Obama has not yet accepted the invitation.

“I’ll be honest with you, we’ve now had 21,” he said. “It’s not as if we don’t know how to do these things. I could deliver Sen. Clinton’s lines; she could, I’m sure, deliver mine.”

“Yeah, no more debates, I might have to answer some tough questions and get my tookus handed to me by some nasty, harridan harpy”.

Because he got stomped; and if there was any doubt the bitchaz are bitching, check the Politico’s DUmmis comment conga line on the debate.

In other words, he is begging for people to stop looking into his background and associations. He knows they will do him in.

Mm-hmm. He screws up one debate, and suddenly he’s all “waah, I don’t wanna play anymore, y’all are mean, I’m taking my ball and going home.” JUST the kind of guy I want running things in a world full of psychopathic nutjobs and Islamic killers.

The ghost of Neville Chamberlain is looking at Obama right now and saying, “My word, old chap, but you are a wuss, eh wot?”

I should not be asked any more questions I deliver good speeches and many take my word.

so shove your questions I do not want the public like many independants to know about the real me

The guy is such a smarmy lying, snobby racist

Does it amaze anyone else that even though he has all this baggage and lies there will be still white who would vote for this man
I say whites as Obama could rob a bank and over 90% will still vote for him

That is where I agree with farraro and the BET founder if he was john smith and was white he would not have got over half the black vote from day one and he is only there because he is black

It’s not so much that he’s not a sore loser, it’s that he’s a wussie who can’t handle confrontation well...Not a good thing in a potential President. The punked up wussie is so much of a chickenshit, he’s afraid to go on the O’Reilly Factor, or H&C for fear he’ll show what a milquetoast he is.

you have just said it correctly

neville chamberlain has returned, infact he is much worse than him as I truely believe that Obama does not even care for this country but will use this country to help places like Kenya

we are royally screwed if this man ever gets to the white house
Black panthers
nation of islam
his wife
rev wright
islamic radicals
weather underground
far left loons who would love to see the destruction of this country

Now imagine all of them at the white house and there is Obama who can obtain classfied info on our enemies.

Nope I don’t feel safe at all

This mommy’s boy Obama - is incapable of holding his own in a debate with the VERY vulnerable Hillary Clinton — yet he wants to negotiate with Iran, North Korea, Hamas, Syria, Cuba, etc......to solve the world’s problems?

Folks - can you not see that this “Potemkin Fraud” is a incompetent boob with apparently “Affirmative Action” credentials from Harvard?

He's completely out of his depth, and now that the MSM are no longer giving him a free pass for his "radioactive associations" it's much too dangerous. Can you say "Raila Odinga"?

Ironic how the Dhimmocrats beat the drum of "George Bush's illegal war in Iraq has made us less safe." It's an iron-clad guarantee that if Snobama gets his girly little hands on the WH, we're all about to see just what "less safe" REALLY means.

McCain will talk to anyone, even if that person disagrees with him.

Obama speaks only in scripted slogans, and only to people that agree with him.

The Dems say they’re for change, but it appears Obama is the one running a Bushlike campaign.

No, he wants to surrender to them. Obama is clearly an incompetent negotiator, but I will bet he can raise his hands up to the clouds in an instant to give America's enemies the upper hand.

“I’ll be honest with you, we’ve now had 21,” he said. “It’s not as if we don’t know how to do these things. I could deliver Sen. Clinton’s lines; she could, I’m sure, deliver mine.”

Now that is something I fully agree with. 21 debates is enough. None of them are really debates anyway - just softballs being thrown. Three real debates would have been enough except dems never have real debates

I think it’s becoming clear why he went into politics instead of working that Law Degree...He can’t successfully deal with being a lawyer, because he can’t handle the adversarial nature of it. He certainly seems to lack the ability to “close in for the kill” either.

Since the enemies of the USA are primarily Communists and Muslims, Obama feels he will be right at home selling out America to his fellow travellers.

Of course he prefers campaigning, where he is the focus of adoring fans who swoon when he takes the stage, applaud when he blows his nose, and don’t ask him questions he does not want to answer. He can pretend they are the only people in the country and everyone else has been dispatched to re-education camp - or dispatched, period. His abandoned, fatherless, mulatto, poor little rich boy sense of self is so fragmented that he needs nothing less than pure adulation to define his existence. Anything else and he folds into the broken kid that he is inside. OK, no more debates. How about some full on, unscripted press conferences. Better yet, he’s so internet savvy, why not have the people he claims to want to empower ask him questions directly online. After all, he will do everything in the open, unlike those other underhanded, hyperconnected politicians. Right?

The WWII vets I've spoken to feel the same way. They want to leave this country if Obama is elected. Do your British friends perceive the threat he represents?
