Obama gets to show he's tough without allowing Hillary to play the victim card-by going on Faux
I think it's a GREAT idea that Obama has accepted what is expected to be a hostile interview with Faux. He's been accused of not "fighting back" against Hillary but as soon as he does, she gets to play the victim and women will rally to her. But going on Faux, he'll get to show he's NOT afraid of being in a hostile environment or taking tough questions and Hillary doesn't get free air time.

Now Hillary's insisting on more debates, with her latest "challenge" being a debate with no moderators. Don't forget that Hillary refused to debate in NC April 19th which Obama accepted. Why should Obama give her another chance to play the victim, bring up irrelevant topics, etc.?

Good move by Obama.

1. Let me say, dont expect this to be Obama "Taking to Fox" like TPM reported from an Obama aide
Ive read this wasnt one of those interviews (it has happened already). I think this was an over zealous Obama supporter trying to talk up something that wont happen.

3. A debate with no moderators?
Why not just set up a boxing ring so that they can sling shit at each other.

She has said some really stupid things lately, but this one is a keeper.

:rofl:

6. She called it a "Lincoln-Douglas style debate." She's desperate.
I'm glad he rejected it.

7. When up for re-election, Hillary refused to debate her anti-war opponent. Losing candidate always
the one who begs for debates--and whines about changing the rules set up the DNC that all the candidates agreed to-until she desperately needed those delegates.

4. "Why should Obama give her another chance to play the victim, bring up irrelevant topics, etc.?"
Exactly.. her bs from the last debate blew her chances for any further debates. Obama has all the power... No more free publicity for Hillary's broke ass.

9. This is good that Obama went
over to hilary's den without having to see hilary..giving her chance to lie and posture.

hilary should quit whining like a loser..only losers whine for another freakin' debate.
