So what? he can't handle a few questions that might fall outside the DNC talking points?

You're telling me the guy who wants to lead our nation in a time of war is afraid of lil ol' Sean Hannity?

It did make me wonder why Obama is the nominee and not her. (I also questioned why she isn't the VP nominee.)


Probably because B. Hussein Obama is not only the Messiah, he is a jealous one; and will not let anyone around him that might overshadow him.

The wise choice to help with the election for the demokrats was absolutely H.R. Clinton.

Thanks

Were I Obama, I wouldn't waste my time with an overpaid hatched man who's made a career of lying, spin, and character assassination either.

Okay, what about Bill O'Reilly? NObama has told Bill he would come on his show but has yet to do so and appears as though he has no plans to.

Both Hillary and McCain were interviewed by Bill and he showed himself to be fair but tough. Everyone says that it was the toughest interview Hillary faced but that she came off looking good.

So what is NObama afraid of?

He has already shown he can't stand up to the Clintons, giving them just about everything they asked for in the Convention. If he can't stand up to people who disagree with him how in the world is he going to run our country?

I agree that Bill-O treated Hillary fairly during his interview.

As for why Obama won't speak to him, I know he's not a particularly big fan of Fox which is understandable considering how each night's programming is dedicated to raking Obama over the coals.

So your answer is "No, Obama couldn't handle a few hardball questions from a radio talk show host."

That's pretty sad, Todd....

And isn't it odd that the left, after eight years of Clinton, is suddenly oh so concerned about what they see as "lying, spin, and character assassination". So it's okay if your guy does it, but bad if the other side does. Just making sure I got that straight.

You call what Hannity does "hardball"? It's more like professional mud-wrestling.

Are suggesting that Clinton got a free pass from the media during his administration?

It was certainly covered, but so many on the left broke their necks rushing to defend it...

Call it what you will, Obama is apparently enough of a wimp that he's afraid of it. He keeps bringing Sean's name up in speeches, even commenting on the fact that Sean "won't say it to my face", yet he refuses every invitation to meet face to face.

Sorry, if the guy can't handle a radio show, he's not fit to run a country....

If you're referring to the Lewinsky fiasco (which the media covered like a cheap suit), I'll be the first to admit that were there a Hall of Fame for bad judgment that Monica and Bill would deserve their own wing.

Yet the GOP bringing impeachment charges (in all their Puritan zeal) versus Clinton for "perjury" was not only a colossal waste of time, but also a huge waste of money.

We're getting way off topic here, but I have to say...so you were basically okay with Bill Clinton lying under oath to prevent Paula Jones from having her day in court? Prosecution for perjury is a waste of time?

Ooookay...

But it looks like Bill Clinton came out alright, he's still the darling of the DNC, and Paula Jones has faded back into relative obscurity....

Hannity is a liar. Why certify that sort of behavior by giving him the time of day?

But if both he and you want to think that Obama is hiding, then go for it.

I don't really care.

Yes, because, IMO, perjury in a civil trial unrelated to the president's duties does not qualify as a "high crime and misdemeanor" versus the United States as defined in the constitution.

As for Paula Jones, why do you think so many high-priced, right-wing lawyers (including Ann Coulter) leapt to her defense? Out of their deep-seeded yearning for justice?

The whole impeachment was a cheap show.

But you're right that discussing it at length is off-topic.

If you listen to what he says and then look up the sources and resources (along with what the other side is saying) you will find that is is not lying .... he does express himself in a rather strong manner and is very clear about his motivations ... but most of what he has said turns out to be true ... at least the topics I have had time to research.

So I guess he won't be dealing with Putin if elected either.

Yeah, he is...plus, Hannity adores knowingly taking quotes out of context to paint someone in the worst possible light.

For example, when Hannity attacks Obama for having refered to himself as a "citizen of the world" in Berlin while neglecting to note that in the same sentence, Obama first referred to himself as being an American citizen.

Hannity is slime.

So you're comparing a right-wing media pundit with a head of state?

No. I'm just going with your description of what Putin is perceived as. A "hatched man who's made a career of lying, spin, and character assassination."

It's still amusing to believe that Obama thinks he can take on Putin or Ahmadinejad, yet he's afraid of a guy with a funny voice sitting behind a microphone......amazing...

Interesting choice of words, I listen to Hanniity sometime in the afternoon, I have never noticed him lying.

Care to give something to back up that claim.

Your prior attempt just came across as high pitched whinning. How about some facts if you are going to call someone a liar?

Thanks

Wow.

John Kerry completely went for the jugular and ripped McCain to shreds, especially on some of his flip flops he's made over the years, his criticisms of Obama's patriotism and stances on Iraq, and his hiring of Rove's old cronies to run his campaign (and there was a humorous, winking, "For it before I was against it" acknowledgement of his own campaign as well ).

Where exactly was this Kerry in 2004?

I am sure interns around the world are quaking in their collective boots...

Theses are better quotes from the former President...

"It depends on how you define alone…" –Bill Clinton, in his grand jury testimony

"There were a lot of times when we were alone, but I never really thought we were." –Bill Clinton, in his grand jury testimony

"I may not have been the greatest president, but I've had the most fun eight years." –Bill Clinton

The last one is my personal favorite....
