Obama Is Too CHICKEN to Debate

Not only is this hilarious, it’s chock full of solid information that should cause any primary voter to pause before voting for Mr. Obama. LOOK: We know that the gutless wonder will refuse to debate Hillary, but that doesn’t mean we can’t remind people he’s too cowardly to do so:
We’ve written FIVE stories on Obama’s fear of debating Hillary again — because she whupped him in the last ABC News debate. All of our stories are listed below, along with the most choice quotes (and snarky imagery). Let’s begin with the extremely snarky “A Lincoln-Douglas Debate? But Obama Just Isn’t Up To It” …
When danger reared its ugly head,
He bravely turned his tail and fled.
Yes, brave Obama turned about
And gallantly he chickened out.

Barack Obama is cowering in fear of another embarrassing debate performance. In contrast, a confident Hillary Clinton is petitioning Obama to honor the debate he reneged on in North Carolina (originally scheduled today) and challenging him to more debates in Indiana and Oregon.
Today, Hillary Clinton upped the ante, proposing a 90-minute Lincoln-Douglas style debate before Indiana’s primary. Obama is sure to refuse.
“[I]ndescribably stupid” is what Tom Watson calls Obama’s repeated refusals to debate in North Carolina or Indiana. In “All the Wrong Moves,” Watson observes:
For one, running and hiding from Hillary looks, well, like running and hiding from Hillary. It cements that growing perception in the press that she’s tougher, and that he’s a brittle political actor – all smiles when the polls are moving upward, quite another story in stormy seas. When you’re running against a beloved American war hero and the Republican attack machine, this is never a good posture.
Secondly, it leaves Obama’s terrible performance in the last debate at the top of people’s minds when they think of the two Democrats duking it out. For all the hand-wringing about the inane ABC News questions in the debate’s first half, it was Obama’s sullen and seemingly lost persona that was the Philly battle’s real story. …
HERE ARE MORE NO QUARTER STORIES CHALLENGING OBAMA:
Sign Hillary’s Petition to Make Obama Honor His Promise to Debate in North Carolina — in which we pick up on Lanny Davis’s suggestion that it was HOWARD DEAN HIMSELF who got Obama out of the scheduled North Carolina debate:
Here are some of the series of stories we’ve done on Barack Obama’s failure to honor his commitment to debate in North Carolina (abetted, many suspect, by DNC chair Howard Dean), and his disinclination to debate in other important primary states such as Indiana and Oregon (not to mention Kentucky, West Virginia, Puerto Rico, and more primaries yet to come):
- “Hillary Asks Barry to Debate, Much More Nicely …” (in Oregon)
- “Lanny Davis and Evan Bayh Throw Down the Gauntlet” (on Obama’s running away from the North Carolina debate — and a video of Lanny Davis expressing his suspicion that Howard Dean was behind getting Obama out of the debate — and his failure to give the people of Indiana a debate on their soil), and
- “Obama Congregants: Waaaaa! Leave Barry Alone! No More Debates!” (on Obama ducking out of the No. Carolina debate).
FROM the APRIL 23 story:
Lannie Davis today, on Fox News, lowered the boom on Obama and Dean:
Barack, are you really that afraid of Katie Couric? (We know you’re scared s–tless of Hillary, but surely Katie will be easier than the ABC News team, right?) Are you that much of a wuss, Barack? If you are, let us know now. We can’t afford a president presidential nominee (because that’s as far as he’d get) who’s a wuss.
