Obama is just Bush from the other side of the spectrum. Read about his record and look past his rhetoric if you can. The DNC had their chance and if they are smart they can have a chance next time around.

Obama Is Willing to Debate McCain at Town Halls This Summer
By Julianna Goldman and Nicholas Johnston

May 10 (Bloomberg) — Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama said he’d be willing to campaign jointly with Senator John McCain, the presumptive Republican nominee, and debate him in town-hall style formats.

“I think that’s a great idea,” Obama, 46, told reporters in Bend, Oregon, today as he campaigned ahead of the state’s May 20 primary. “Obviously we would have to think through the logistics on that, but to the extent that should I, should I be the nominee, if I have the opportunity to debate substantive issues before the voters with John McCain, that’s something that I am going to welcome.”

Obama, an Illinois senator, was responding to a question citing reports that McCain’s advisers have suggested the two should campaign together this summer, debating at town hall meetings without a moderator.

It seems that, considering his eloquence, his ability to crisply articulate his policy positions and his natural ability to move a crowd when speaking without a script, this should be an easy way for the Senator to dismantle his opponent.

Oops, I just noticed the date on the by-line. Disregard, nothing to see here.

Nice try. I’ll keep looking for more evidence of change I can believe in.

You are setting up an impossible standard while claiming that the reason they don’t know about the solutions is due to the dirty politics.

No, the probelm is candidates like Obama who can’t stand hard questions to be asked of him by reporters or citizens. ‘I answered that in my book’ or ‘look at my website’ aren’t proper answers to policy questions while he rolls around in the games you decry stealing other candidate’s policies.

McCain often asks people who wear Obama shirts to speak at his town hall meetings. That is Presidential, and not running from the other candidate supporters or the policies they are interested in.

While Obama has never answered a difficult question in his life. It is always divert, deny, distract with him.

Only McCain has a deficit reduction plan…Obama admits he won’t focus on the deficit at all.

That sounds like someone who is trying to fully bankrupt the US.

While defense is one the major purposes of govt, Obama wants to kneecap it. Isn’t that actually committing treason for a CIC/President?

Especially when so many advances that benefit us on a day to day basis has come from military technology.

He lessens our defense capabilities and the economic benefit to the US through the slowing down of military technology and products it has created for the people.

‘should be more coordinated ‘between the commanders’ and NATO troop used more effectively’.

There is no way that pointing out Obama’s failed past, poor judgement and questioable associations will change that.

The 30% of the Ultra partisan left wing Democratic Core would not work with McCain no matter what he said or did not say.

When McCain is POTUS, Hillary and Lieberman will be happily working with him, and the majority of others will follow that lead.

Really, if you are concerned about the War on Terror missing the effort in Afghanistan, then you should be voting for McCain. Since he stated that the effort in Afghanistan should be more coordinated between and NATO troops used more effectively a year before Obama did.

Obama, as usual, stole someone else’s position on something….and you clowns are falling for it again.

Don’t talk to me about failing to ‘see the truth of the matter’, because just like I knew Bush was lying about who he was before he was elected. ‘Humble foreign policy’…’no nation building’ bs while the family business had a bulls-eye on Iraq.

I know that Obama is lying about himself and his record. It is a shame you don’t know, while trying to claim some false ground as a political junkie with this information you posted.

Your whole argument is solely based on Dems are better than Reps, ignoring that those very Dems created al Qaeda due to a hard on for Russia.

You aren’t avoiding the war with Russia by electing Obama since they consider Zbig to be THEIR Osama bin Laden.

Wrap your brain around reality! Not the revisionist history version which allows people like Bush and Obama to be elected in the first place.

One of the problems with McCain supporters is that they can’t do basic arithmetic and don’t understand basic economics. Kind of like John McCain himself.

Obama keeps playing the Bush card because he knows how much Americans dislike their current president, and it helps him that the guy he’s running against is part of that hated president’s party. It’s no secret that even some members of the GOP are trying to distance themselves from Bush. If Obama is as bad at debates as you say and his policy is that flimsy, then McCain should have kept the pressure on him to debate. To be honest, I’m not even sure if McCain is better than Obama at debates. He’s let some crazy stuff fly out of his mouth when he’s not being scripted. And Palin doesn’t appear to be much better with her flub on Fannie and Freddie. Politicians always sound better when their speech writers are the ones talking. McCain, Palin, and Obama are no different or better than each other in that aspect.
