Hey Barry, you can't run away from Iran or Russia!

They were so mean to B. Hussein in the last one. They actually asked a question with some substance.

Every time there's a debate, we see more of his true feelings.

How would he do against a tyrant like dinnerjacket or Hugo (if he wasn't on their side)?

He must have finally learned to keep his yap shut and let the pinheads adore him in silence.

Shuck and jive is much easier than answering question.

To bad there hasn't been a real debate yet rather than a lot of press conferences where the 'candidates' spouted a few one liners and the sos boilerplate rhetoric.

Besides, someone might offend him by asking a question he couldn't answer without damning himself. Like why he's voted against the 2nd every chance he could.

re: #23 savage_nation

I wonder hows he's gonna wiggle out of debating McCain if he wins the Democrat nomination....

It'll be easy then. McCain is easily made into a mean oppressor by the MSM, with no fears (like they have of pissing off the Clintons)

. . . so it could get up and just randomly say non-connected words, then wait for the msm to do the rest.

Besides... some of the msm comes down against Obama, which is hurting him. If he becomes the nominee for the Dems, only FOX will dare to speak ill of him.

Since most people don't watch the debates for any substance, but to see what 'juicy' things happen (then get the proper spin on the 'issues' from CBS the next night), there's no problems with ACTUAL performance against McCain.

(Cynical? Yeah, probably... )

He was hoping to be asked:

Do you hope?

Is it time for change?

But since his campaign couldn't get any guarantees on which questions he would be asked...

re: #26 jcm

which would be kind of funny, given McCain's wishy-washy past on gun control.

But, very probable.

Obama is like a balloon, and peeps are starting to poke holes in it.

He's giving the media the silent treatment. That's what mature people do.

Good Idea, Barry. Stick Cling to the private speaking engagements. That's been working out so much better for you, hasn't it?

re: #23 savage_nation

He won't have a problem debating McCain, as McCain's being a good boy and refusing to go on the attack. (If I could find the link, I'd point to his statement about every American needing to hear BHO's wonderful speech in response to the Rev. Wright implosion. I seem to remeber McCain putting out a statement to that effect.)

Hillary should demand that the debate be held as scheduled, and an empty podium, with a suit hanging behind it (in or out of a dryclenaing bag), be placed next to hers. The American people would love it, and give those Democrat uberdelegates something to ponder.

I think it'd score points for her, that's for sure.... But, at the same time... it'd make her look mean.

Obama capitalizes on Hillary looking mean.

Obama not showing up really means in the course of the 1 hour debate , there would be about 45 seconds less of substance than if he actually showed up

Answering hard questions is so old politics. Being adored by a fawning press is much more Barry's speed.

One tough debate and he needs a rest? Are the questions are too hard? What a loser. He does not have what it takes to succeed in politics if this is how he responds to difficult times. Not a mentally tough individual.

If I were from NC, I'd be bitter. Damn bitter.

Rabbit Bait ring a bell?

I heard he found out from Jimmy Carter there are rabbits in North Carolina.

Lizards,

I posted this a couple of days ago. If you have not read Obama's "Dreams From My Father", I urge you to do so. The book reveals Obama for what he is at the core. A Communist. Here's a snippet:

"In 1983, I decided to become a community organizer. There wasn't much detail to the idea; I didn't know anyone making a living that way. When classmates in college asked me just what it was that a community organizer did, I couldn't answer them. Instead, I'd pronounce on the need for change. Change in the White House, where Reagan and his minions were carrying on with their dirty deeds. Change in the Congress, compliant and corrupt. Change in the mood of the country, manic and self-absorbed. Change won't come from the top, I would say. Change will come from a mobilized grass roots. That's what I'll do, I'll organize black folks. At the grass roots, for change."

Lizards, 1983 was the beginning of one the longest economic booms in our history. More people were lifted out of poverty in the 1980's than ever before, worldwide. 1983 was when we started to finally destroy communism. If Obama had succeeded in change in 1983, there would still be a Soviet Union. What the f-*** is he talking about? And guess what kind of change he is referring to now. Yep, you guessed it. Communism, worldwide communism. Don't believe me? Read his books. He tells you.

Hopefully, neither one will take a "Wide Stance" while in the stall.

This just keeps getting better. After the 'Reporting for Duty' John Effin Kerry flamed out in 04, largely because he failed to adequately address the truth and facts over his service and post-war activities, we now have Barry whinging about being swiftboated, completely unable to factually address his questionable connections and revelations of being an extreme leftist - he decides to even bail on a debate moderated by SeeBS.

I think most Democrats are now seeing that red warning light flashing consistently out of the corner of their eye warning about 08. They've gone too far to dump Barry, his baggage, and African American support. Hillary offers only a little less baggage and similar levels of polarization in the Party. At best, perhaps the party can grasp to holding Congress.....but given the performances of Reid and Pelosi there is the risk of another Congressional backlash.

Bitter? Just watch the left after election day this November.

The sad understory of all of this is that poor wittle Katie won't get the face time that she DESERVES! Why does Barack Obama hate women?

I don't think that is true at all. I've heard various versions of this theory thrown about in several different venues, but I truly believe that the identity politics that the Dems are trying so desperately to base this campaign on (where do you think the term "dream ticket" comes from?) will not work on a national level. It plays well in the Dem primary, where the willful idiots that they pander to aren't cerebral enough to think beyond outward appearances, and it make work in some congressional races in certain regions. But, in a national election, I think the American people are smart enough to see through the flimsy facade that any "identity" candidate invariable dons.

Quite frankly, I would love to see this supposed "dream ticket." It would get destroyed faster than a Christian in Mecca, and spin backlash among the left would truly be a sight to behold.

One thing I heard about Barry from Dick Morris in passing, as a throwaway line. Morris was talking about the Million Man March, which Barry helped to organize for Farrakhan. Morris said that Clinton did not want to appear at the march, nor be around to take any criticism from the march's planners. Clinton thought the American people viewed, rightly, Farrakhan as a racist. So Clinton travelled to Alabama and gave a speech just to be clear of Washington, D.C. that day. As much as I dislike Clinton, he's a real politician with some common sense (please note: I said some). Barry has none, and doesn't want to answer for that.

We all know that the MSM is going to do all it can to downplay the troublemakers outside of the convention, so if it actually works it's way into the convention itself, they won't have a choice but to broadcast it nationwide. Hell, who knows? There may be actual delegates who start crap!

I can't wait for this movie to start! Please pass the popcorn.

Shrillary should immediately hire a guy in a chicken suit to stalk the Obamanation's campaign stops with a Obama's Scared to Debate sign attached to his feathers (it could be a lady in the suit, I'm equal opportunity)! That would get great TV exposure. And the hillbillies out in NC and the rednecks and the cousinloving bible thumping democrats out them thar wayz, mite get a thunkin that Obamanation dozn't cair four them by not debaitin.

re: #153 bosforus

Probably it was that ID vs. Darwin stuff.

Barry won't do the debate because it's too risky even though Katie would probably do nothing more than ask him about what kind of shaving cream he uses.

Looks like he's counting on Hillary taking Pennsylvania by enough margin that North Carolina becomes vewwy, vewwy important.

Very true. He might be a PC-hound, but I doubt he'd just back down from a debate. It seems that he's all about "fair" politics, which includes getting his points out to the public in a debate with the opposition.

Hey, that thread is still going... I just added another comment. Perhaps we can push it to 3000?

As for Obama not wanting to do an NC debate... what can I say, more power to him? Seriously, would you want to have to debate/discuss with with Hillary for another 3 hous, after how many have they done?

Yes! Much more deniable than having a solo debate(although fun to think about).

I completely agree you handsome lizard, you. I must point out, though, that there will be very few outside of the - what, 35%? - of Dems who will be voting in November for such a "dream" that will share in the arousal. Plus, not every Dem is going to be erect depending upon who is on the top or bottom of the ticket.

Wait a minute!. You mean BHO could be a Muslim. Lets see his father & step father were. He took intense instruction in Islam in Indonesia where he registered as a Muslim in school.
It was not until he was 35 that he converted to a pseudo Christian Church run by a former Nation of Islam member. Hmmm & his name is Barack Hussein.
Let me think.

Hear that? It's the sound of Dingle-Barry's nuts shriveling up because a teleprompter isn't allowed.

Now I'm beginning to wonder if he's more afraid of Hillary... or the media. If it's the media - get ready for the Howard-Dean-like-meltdown! Wait for it... wait for it...

Soviet Union Lives on In Cyberspace

Champions of the online Soviet domain say there is still plenty of room for growth.

Some envisage the ".su" domain as a virtual venue for those who fondly recall the old Soviet Union as a place where Russian, the lingua franca of the Soviet empire, knit together a host of Asian and European ethnic groups and cultures.

I'll grant him one thing. He has (maybe only marginally) more sense than a bull in a bull ring. I think he's feeling the blood-letting.

re: #213 rawmuse

I don't think I have a record of my baptism either. It was somewhere around 1965. I remember I made the mistake of wearing a dark shirt under my white robe. Big mistake.

On the other hand, Obama would have been baptised more recently than that. So I would think it would be easier to trace a record, a memory or a church announcement of some sort.

yep he doesn't ..thats what is driving Hillary crazy with fear she won't be President.. and will I hope drive her to crash the Democrat party.. for a 3rd party that will get her 2012 nomination

re: #104 reno911

Lizards,

I posted this a couple of days ago. If you have not read Obama's "Dreams From My Father", I urge you to do so. The book reveals Obama for what he is at the core. A Communist. Here's a snippet:

"In 1983, I decided to become a community organizer. There wasn't much detail to the idea; I didn't know anyone making a living that way. When classmates in college asked me just what it was that a community organizer did, I couldn't answer them. Instead, I'd pronounce on the need for change. Change in the White House, where Reagan and his minions were carrying on with their dirty deeds. Change in the Congress, compliant and corrupt. Change in the mood of the country, manic and self-absorbed. Change won't come from the top, I would say. Change will come from a mobilized grass roots. That's what I'll do, I'll organize black folks. At the grass roots, for change."

Lizards, 1983 was the beginning of one the longest economic booms in our history. More people were lifted out of poverty in the 1980's than ever before, worldwide. 1983 was when we started to finally destroy communism. If Obama had succeeded in change in 1983, there would still be a Soviet Union. What the f-*** is he talking about? And guess what kind of change he is referring to now. Yep, you guessed it. Communism, worldwide communism. Don't believe me? Read his books. He tells you.

I think this is going to be Dingle-Barry's Achilles heal. I still haven't heard what he did, and who was paying him to do whatever the hell it was he was doing. Hell, he couldn't even tell people at the time what he was doing. Real secret agent material.

Uh-oh...off topic but humoreous...it seems the Mullahs are a bit distressed(like that's anything new):

Deputy Head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Olli Heinonen, arrived in Tehran early on Monday under the pretext of talking{it sounds more like he may have found the family jewels and would like recovery costs} with Iranian officials about the nuclear program.

The word “pretext” is being used here because Heinonen’s mission, as acknowledged by the IAEA, is outside the agency’s legal framework. Based on the subsequent verifications, the two-day mission is aimed at finalizing the joint American and Israeli hoax of fabricating yet another phony pile of documents against the Islamic Republic{ahhh gee...not that Chinese stuff?} and its non-military nuclear program, which, by the way, seems more like a ludicrous drama indeed.

Heinonen played the first act of this ludicrous theater at the meeting of IAEA Governor Generals based on the fabricated documents....
