I just thought this might be a good time to remind everyone about one of Barack Obama’s big fat lies. This is from his interview with that fatuous suck-upping pig of a rodeo clown, Charley Gibson:

BTW – everytime you see a “–” in the transcript, that’s the “Eloquent One” stuttering…
GIBSON: John McCain has issued an invitation to do a series of town meetings (inaudible). Going to do it?
OBAMA: Oh, we’re definitely going to be doing some town hall debates. I look forward to, you know, having more than just the three traditional debates that we’ve seen in recent presidential contests, so I’m glad that he’s interested in doing it.
You know, we’re going to have to figure out timing. I know that he wants to start, generously enough, a week from today. And since we just won the nomination, we may have to spend some — a little bit of time over the next couple of weeks, you know, retooling for a general election.
But…
GIBSON: (inaudible)
OBAMA: Well, we are definitely going to be debating with John McCain, and we will do more than the three that — that have been promised. And so, some of those will have to be done before our respective conventions….
Yup, Obama is a liar!
There have been NO such debates leading up to this first of three traditional debates. And, no! – Seperately answering questions, as was done in the Saddleback Church and the AARP formats, is NOT even close to a debate! They may have just as well gone ahead and taped those Q&A sessions days apart and in different states!
The interview quoted above with that sideshow freak, Gibson, was done around June 4th, 2008. Almost two months later, with Obama giving excuse after excuse for not debating McCain (who kept this issue alive at his rallys), Obama finally admitted he wasn’t going to debate McCain unless he had to. (Click HERE for link). (Maybe Obama should “Change” his mantra from “Yes, we can!” to “Yes, we won’t!” )
Now, why is this? It’s pretty obvious to those of us paying attention; Obama is scared sh*tless of McCain!
If McCain scares him, can you imagine what would happen if Obama (God forbid) became President and actually had to negotiate a deal with one of our enemies? They would wipe their cyst infested bottoms with him!
Stand-Ins, Naps Help Debate Preparation
SEPTEMBER 22, 2008 – Wall Street Journal
By MONICA LANGLEY
To get in the debating mood, Republican John McCain will host a town-hall event and take a short nap. His rival, Democrat Barack Obama, will work out or shoot hoops.
And to prepare, Sen. McCain will spar this week in mock debates with Michael Steele. Mr. Steele, the former lieutenant governor of Maryland and a prominent black Republican, will play Sen. Obama and use many of his speaking patterns, tactics and body language. Sen. Obama will practice with Greg Craig, a Washington lawyer and former official in the Clinton administration who is one of his few gray-haired advisers.
After weeks of TV attack ads and prepared remarks on the stump, the candidates will face off on stage without teleprompters or advisers. With the presidential race in a near dead heat, neither candidate can afford a costly gaffe that sends his campaign into a tailspin. The nationally televised debates are set to begin on Friday and are certain to be among the most watched in history. Each campaign is seeking even the smallest advantage.
Obama advisers, for example, are considering how to provoke Sen. McCain into anger or showing what they say is how out of touch, or old, he is. Advisers have told Sen. McCain to watch out when Sen. Obama uses the phrase, “As I’ve said before…” One McCain adviser said it is used “when Obama actually changes his position, to pretend it’s what he’s always said.”
