BREAKING: Why Obama is refusing to have one more debate with Hillary

[Apollo11]

[Connie_Corleone]

1. Hillary is a chicken in disguise

[Apollo11]

Sure. Chickens are always challenging each other to debate the issues.

:eyes:

[Connie_Corleone]

15. Why else post the picture?

Obama doesn't like chicken therefore he won't debate Hillary because she used to be a chicken in a former life?

[WillYourVoteBCounted]

104. Hillary's chickens have come home to roost, she's broke

even what she raised after PA (how much goes to the primary) she's still broke.

No debate = no free air time.

[Cheap_Trick]

85. oh puhleeze

Hillary is not wanting to debate the "issues". She wants an unmoderated debate so she can smear him even more. He doesn't need to debate her. He's already beaten her in every way.

[Hepburn]

103. Only stupid lying ones like Hilly do dumb shit like this. n/t

[chimpymustgo]

29. Is Obama up to the job? Folks - please look at this man objectively.

[Doityourself]

32. I personally believe he's up to the job. I have no doubts at all.

[Lady-Damai]

110. Hillary is not a chicken ....

[Swamp Rat]

2. Her campaign is broke and she needs free air time.

He does not. :)

[Darth_Kitten]

8. Why won't he debate?

Not ready to take on any kind of real challenge?

[Swamp Rat]

22. Because it only helps her.

It is a much better strategy for him to spend the rest of his campaign talking to American citizens around the country.

Hillary supporters calling him, "chicken," as a last ditch tactic, only makes her look more and more desperate.

But y'all go ahead and run her campaign right off the road into the mud. :D

[BeyondGeography]

3. Yawn

[Forkboy]

4. BREAKING: Why Apollo11 posted this.

[Hawkeye-X]

31. ANd this

[Apollo11]

34. I hope that is not the new animated logo

of the DU group in your signature.

If it is - I reject and denounce it! :P

[Forkboy]

38. Damn Skippy. Your OP was dumb. Now you're busting on deaf people?

You must be a blast at parties.

[HereSince1628]

5. What? I don't get it...do you mean he can't stand it when Hillary cackles?

[MercutioATC]

6. Spin it how you wish...she's still not getting the free airtime.

:nopity:

[babylonsister]

7. Breaking: Obama doesn't need another debate, Hill does...

[UndertheOcean]

18. lol

:rofl:

[Quixote1818]

52. Thats's awesome! nt

[Hepburn]

105. Mega saver 'toon!

Thanks for posting it! :hi:

[kstewart33]

9. Oh, Geez Louise.

It's a standard rule in politics and you know it: when you're ahead of the game, and the curtain's about to close, don't do anything that might change the dynamics of the race.

Chicken? Oh maybe, and smart. The alternative? Brave and stupid.

[ShortnFiery]

13. At this point, Hillary's bully tactics are looking SHRILL. 21 debates is enough already! eom.

[Apollo11]

14. You just admitted Obama IS chicken

Thanks for the kick! :kick:

[mkultra]

46. i think he was calling hillary brave and stupid.

[cali]

10. nice looking chicken.

cochin? I can't see the pic well enough.

[LakeSamish706]

I think you should maybe try "Smart" actually.... He realizes why she...

wants a debate is the real reason. Why should he set up a potential source of funding for her? Nope, the Obama people are doing the right thing by not debating her and lets face it, this race is over for all intensive purposes! Time to move on to dealing with the real problem in America, McCain....

[redstate_democrat]

11. Why does she keep begging him when he has already told her no?

She is like an ex-girlfriend who just can't get over it. He is not that in to you, Hillary. Move on. He has already WON the nomination.

[Apollo11]

19. Way to respect the voters in Indiana and other remaining States!

"I already WON the nomination. I don't need any of you typical bitter folks no more!" :eyes:

[Liberal Gramma]

77. None of them get cable?

No one in Indiana has heard them debate before? Far-fetched arguement. He doesn't HAVE to debate. Been there, done that.

[npincus]

12. and here is Hillary's response:

[MannyGoldstein]

16. 21 Is Not Enough?

Be serious. It's over.

Time to move on to McSame.

[Apollo11]

23. Obama's message to Indiana: "It's over. I don't need you."

Reminds me of The Daily Show last week - when Jon Stewart mocked Obama for ignoring Hillary in his stump speech and only talking about John McCain - to pretend that he already won the nomination.

[earthside]

35. He has. n/t

[GOTV]

82. I wish they'd BOTH be going after McCain. I've already seen that Clinton can attack her friends...

... but can she handle the enemy?

[Hepburn]

107. I am just curious...but maybe you can help me out here....

...is it hard work to be as lame as you are? :eyes:

What? No one in Indiana has a TV so they saw NONE of the previous 21 debates?

Geeeeeeez-Us Hussein Key-rist...vacuum the cobwebs out of the empty cavity between your ears, OK?

[dbmk]

115. He didn't exactly mock him.

He was actually mocking Hillary with that. Showing that nobody really cares how she did in PA. She is done.

And Obama did congratulate Hillary in that speech btw.

[patrice]

17. Attack McCheney!!! nt

[Political Heretic]

20. I am supposed to care? Call him whatever you like.

It's politics, and he's doing the right political thing. As if acting like a four year old is somehow going to convince him or supporters to stop doing that.

Obama has nothing to win. There's nothing in it for him. He can't gain anything. So why on earth should he agree?

[Shae]

21. Because the last debate was a waste of his time

and Hillary is even less of a viable candidate now than she was then.

I'm sure he's perfectly willing to debate McCain.

[Apollo11]

25. All the MORE reason to do another one with CNN or NBC.

To wash away the bitter taste left in our mouths after watching the ABC debate in Philadelphia.

[Hepburn]

108. ....

...:rofl: Riaaaaaaght....:rofl:

[hollowdweller]

24. Hillary is grasping at any opportunity to try to make Obama look bad

At that last debate Obama was tired or got flustered by all the attacks by Hillary and the mods and didn't do as well so Clinton smells blood.

He's starting to regain his momentum and she has to figure some way to tear him down again. It's the only hope she has.

I don't blame her for it, it's part of the GOP style campaign she is waging, that whole "bully" persona has worked really well for the Bush family. Maybe GHW schooled Bill in it when they were palling around together.

However I think it really turns off most democrats, and I don't think Obama will fall for it. I think he's going to take the old Bill Clintons campaign style and to a lot of personal campaigning like Bill Clinton did before he became a republican. The high road is what people want, not the bully.

[bowens43]

26. How old are you , about twelve?

No wonder your candidate has been rejected by the American people.

[Apollo11]

30. Old enough to understand why Obama is afraid to have one more debate

Because Hillary won every one-on-one debate they did up until now.

She answers every question clearly, drawing on her knowledge and addressing the issues.

He hesitates for a while and then falls back on one of Axelrod's pre-prepared paragraphs.

[Submariner]

39. Hillary's campaign has been dead since her Bosnia sniper LIE

The LIE heard around the world that the McCrazy campaign would destroy her with in TV ads.

You're fighting a lost cause trying to tear down Obama.

[Apollo11]

40. Dude - you are way off message.

Here is what Barack Obama said in the ABC debate in Philadelphia:

But, look, the fact of the matter is, is that both of us are working as hard as we can to make sure that we're delivering a message to the American people about what we would do as president. Sometimes that message is going to be imperfectly delivered because we are recorded every minute of every day.

And I think Senator Clinton deserves the right to make some errors once in a while. Obviously, I make some as well.

I think what's important is to make sure that we don't get so obsessed with gaffes that we lose sight of the fact that this is a defining moment in our history. We are going to be tackling some of the biggest issues that any president has dealt with in the last 40 years.

http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/DemocraticDebate/Story?id=4670271&page=2

[Submariner]

50. An ERROR vs. a LIE? No comparison n/t

[Hepburn]

109. ...

...:rofl: ...riaaaaaaaaght... :rofl:

[Hawkeye-X]

27. BREAKING: Clinton supporters are too chicken to take on my challenge.

Only one accepted. I thought this was a fair challenge:

[janetblond]

28. I'd refuse too ...

After a while, you get tired of being bullied by the school bully.
I remember when I was in 9th grade, there was a girl who always wanted to "fight" me .. shear JEALOUSY.
She was real ghetto trash; a first rate THUG.
She used to taunt me when school would let out in the afternoon.
After a while, it just got tiring. All I wanted to do was JUST go to school!
Same with Obama ...
Hillary is so full of venom, and resentment, she can't control herself.
WHEN will the bullying stop?
WHEN does Obama get to JUST run for President?

[Apollo11]

33. How is debating the issues like being the victim of a physical assault?

Interesting how Obama's supporters are jumping on this metaphor like it actually made any sense at all.

[TheCowsCameHome]

36. It'll give her a chance to lay another egg.

[Apollo11]

37. I'm gonna have to go ahead and accuse you

of playing the gender card.

Although I doubt Hillary's ovaries are still active, it is none of your business either way.

[TheCowsCameHome]

41. Riddle: Who came first - the chicken or the ovary?

That'll give you something to occupy your time until the next debate.

(Sounds like a good question to ask at your endless series of debates)

[MyNameGoesHere]

42. No way is he chicken,

he just has right side brain issues.

[undeterred]

43. The whole world is sick of her nasty mouth.

No debate is doing the world a favor.

[UndertheOcean]

44. Because she's as intelligent as a chicken?

Good reason

[Mezzo]

45. snort.

Way to unite the party, asshole! :P

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

48. Debates w/ Obama: 21 Debates w/ Tasini: 0

[stillcool]

49. Sqawking and balking...

Poor Hillary. The only thing she knows how to do is run her campaign through the media's lens. Has she paid her bills yet?

[chemenger]

51. Rooster?

I don't get it.

[Quixote1818]

53. This OP reminds me of 2nd grade in Ms. Farmer's class.

:hurts:

[Apollo11]

59. Maybe because you flunked 2nd grade and had to do it over?

;-)

[cloudythescribbler]

54. I say Obama should offer an ALL ISSUE ALL PLATFORM debate -- NO SOUND BYTE/HORSERACE crap ... nt

[Apollo11]

61. Maybe Obama will offer an ALL HOOPS 1-on-1 Basketball challenge --- NO BOWLING/HUNTING crap ...

It's the only way he could hope to get a SLAM-DUNK! B-)

[americanstranger]

55. Note to Clinton supporters regarding debates:

The frontrunner calls the shots. not the also-ran.

That is all. Back to your regularly-scheduled whining.

- as

[yellowcanine]

56. Wow, how original.

.

[smiley_glad_hands]

57. Hill wants a debate because she is desperate. eom

[Apollo11]

58. What happened to Obama's "new kind of politics"?

What kind of politics involves running away from debates and refusing to answer questions?

Then it all comes down to who can buy the most TV ads and put up the most yard signs.

If it's all about the money then why don't we all just vote for Mitt Romney? :eyes:

[rodeodance]

70. his 'new' politics was born and bread in the sewer of Chicago politics.

[smiley_glad_hands]

74. If thats true then Hill's politics was born in rush's toilet. eom

[mkultra]

60. that is president chicken to you buddy.

[helderheid]

62. BREAKING: Why Hillary is Desperate for another debate

I guess it's not breaking, just plain broke.

[wowimthere]

64. LOL... says it all

[LSK]

63. did you miss the previous 234290382539081 debates????

:wtf:

[Apollo11]

65. Like the one Obama refused to have in Wisconsin?

Obama only agrees to debate when he is behind in the polls (like in Ohio, Texas, Pennsylvania).

Hillary will debate anytime, anywhere because she is always READY! B-)

[LSK]

72. Obama was behind in the polls in Wisconsin???

Didn't he win that state by 20 or so???

[Apollo11]

91. Obama was ahead in the polls, and that's why he refused to do a debate.

Even back in February, the Obama campaign was whining about having already done enough debates already.

CNN.com - February 14th

Recent polls show a tight race between the two Democratic front-runners in Wisconsin, but a Strategic Vision polls conducted February 8-10 has Obama leading Clinton 45-41, a lead outside of the poll's margin of error of 3 percentage points.

The Wisconsin contest picked up in intensity Wednesday when the Clinton camp launched a television ad criticizing Obama for not agreeing to debate in the state.

"Both Democratic candidates have been invited to a televised Wisconsin debate," an announcer says in the Clinton ad. "Hillary Clinton has said yes. Barack Obama hasn't. Maybe he'd prefer to give speeches than have to answer questions."

Responding to the ad, Obama campaign manager David Axelrod said, "We've debated 18 times, we're going to debate two more, but we've got other business to do here in terms of meeting voters face to face."

[frickaline]

66. wow ... how mature.

[Apollo11]

67. Maybe if/when he is the nominee, Obama can refuse to debate McCain?

Good luck with that ... :sarcasm:

[bobbert]

68. Because he doesn't want to debate a farm animal?

Is that what you're saying?

[otohara]

69. Thank You Sen. Obama - Sparing Us Another

gawd awful MSM moderated so-called debate.

[SoCalDem]

71. Debating against a chicken would not help Obama and he's got no time for Hillary

Let her buy her own airtime.. Oh wait! she's BROKE :rofl:

[helderheid]

81. !

[Texas Hill Country]

78. Breaking: Why Apollo 11 supports Hillary...

[GOTV]

79. He should debate. I have a few more questions about the lapel pin....

... that simply MUST be answered.

:sarcasm:

[Apollo11]

94. I nominate Tim Russert and Rachel Maddow to be the moderators

Then I would be confident of fair treatment and serious questions.

[Iceburg]

80. Obama's profound lack of confidence & the ongoing wright rants are going to sink his ship this week.

[TragedyandHope]

83. Chicken tastes good

[marshall]

86. Maybe he's tired of having shit thrown on him

I know I would be.

[AZ Criminal JD]

87. If he can't stand the heat, he should get out of the kitchen.

[marshall]

89. At this point what does he have to gain from another debate?

Hillary is the one scrambling for every vote she can scrape up, whether it's the gun toting yahoos or the bigots who are afraid of "uppity" ministers. Obama needs to start thinking about McCain now.

[spanone]

88. it's time for obama to debate the real enemy, mccain

[RazBerryBeret]

90. Let's remember

Clinton refused to debate her opponent for her Senate seat. there's actually a photo of a person in a chicken suit w/a sign proclaiming HIllary is chicken... it's posted here somewhere.
the loser always wants more debates.

[Apollo11]

92. The difference is that this time neither candidate is the incumbent

I can understand why an incumbent would not want to do a televised debate against a challenger.

But in any case I am always in favor of televised debates as they are in the public interest.

[RazBerryBeret]

99. I think the debate, after there have been so many

takes their eyes off the prize. AND similarly to debating incumbent vs. challenger, She has nothing to lose--she can say anything and hope she can strike an nerve or chord. but that's just my opinion.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

93. Chicken or.....

Squirrel?

[ElsewheresDaughter]

95. He is scared to death

[SeaLyons]

96. He needs to debate...

everyone knows why he doesn't want to do it.

[Stinky The Clown]

97. BREAKING: WHY IS HILLARY GROVELLING FOR A DEBATE?

Could no money and no traction be a reason?

[truebrit71]

98. If the pant-suit wants airtime the pantsuit has to BUY it...

...that's what happens when you are in SECOND PLACE....

BTW Second place = FIRST LOSER!!!


Hahahahahhahahahaahaha!!!!!

Billary Klinton = Sore Loserman!!!

:eyes: :sarcasm:

What a stupid, STUPID fucking thread this is....

[Apollo11]

100. So you think Romney should have refused to debate McCain?

You think we should just let the richest candidate buy the election?

Some interesting definition of democracy that would be ... :eyes:

[truebrit71]

106. Nope. I think the candidate with the MOST votes, MOST wins and MOST delegates gets to tell...

..the rest of the field to go fuck themselves...and that they'll debate WHEN they want, WHERE they want..and NOT before

[Apollo11]

101. dupe

B-)

[Hepburn]

102. So HilLIARy has her tail feathers ruffled...

...your point?

[TLM]

113. Are you trying to say Obama won't debate hillary because of a big brown co*k?

I think it has more to do with not providing her with free air time for unchecked attacks.

[thoughtcrime1984]

116. Heh

That's reason enough, I guess! :rofl:

[thoughtcrime1984]

114. I think it is because Hillary is a
