The Hillary Clinton campaign sought Friday to pressure Barack Obama to accept the proposed debate in North Carolina.
"Unfortunately, all signs point to him trying to duck the debate," said Ace Smith, Clinton's state campaign director. "He basically wants to brush off the people of North Carolina."
Smith noted that such Democratic leaders as Gov. Mike Easley and former Gov. Jim Hunt have urged Obama to acccept a debate scheduled to be held at Raleigh's RBC Center on April 27, Rob Christensen reports. He noted the state Democratic Party, which is sponsoring the event along with CBS, has already received 20,000 requests for tickets.
"It's ironic that the campaign of hope has become: I hope I don't get any more tough questions. I hope I don't have any more debates," he said.
During a campaign appearance in Raleigh on Monday, Obama expressed disappointment with the tenor of a debate held this week in Philadelphia. Instead of focusing on issues that matter to people, Obama said the debate concentrated on peripheral campaign flaps.
Obama also said there would be little time to hold a debate in the state.





Re: Clinton pressures Obama to debate
Barack Obama does not want to debate because he does not want to answer any difficult questions. The MSM has not vetted Obama. When a person does some research on Obama, he learns that Obama has more baggage than a cargo ship.
Obama knows the skeletons in his closet that have not been revealed by the MSM. Because the MSM would not vet their golden boy Obama, there are web sites that are exposing why Obama is unelectable.

Obama does not want another debate. He does not want to answer any difficult questions.
Barack Obama - 20 Years of an Anti-White Ideology - Why?
Why did Barack Obama choose a spiritual adviser/mentor who taught the Anti-White Ideology of Black Liberation Theology ?
Why did Obama listen to the Anti-White Ideology for 20 years and give significant amounts of money to support the preaching of the Anti-White Ideology?
Why did Obama expose his daughters to the Anti-White Ideology of Black Liberation Theology?
Why didn't Obama denounce Rev. Jeremiah Wright's authorization of the publication of the 'Hamas Terror Manifesto' in the 7/22/2007 Bulletin of the Trinity United Church of Christ?
Why didn't Obama denounce Rev. Wright's gift of a 'Lifetime Achievement Award' to the Anti-White, Anti-Catholic, and Anti-Semitic Nation of Islam Minister Louis Farrakhan?

Excerpts from the article follow:
"The problem for Obama is that Wright, the spiritual leader he has so long embraced, is a devotee not of King - who in that same speech warned against "drinking fro the cup of bitterness and hatred" - but of the poisonous hatemonger Louis Farrakhan, whom the church's magazine honored with a lifetime achievement award. The problem for Obama, who campaigns on a message of racial reconciliation, is that the "mentor" whose church he joined and has generously supported with tens of thousands of dollars in donations is a disciple not of King but of James Cone, the expounder of a "black liberation" theology that teaches its adherents to "accept only the love of G-d which participates in the destruction of the white enemy."
"Above all, the problem for Obama is that for two decades his spiritual home has been a church in which the minister damns America to the enthusiastic approval of the congregation, and not until it threatened to scuttle his political ambitions did Obama finally find the mettle to condemn the minister's odium."
Barack Obama repeatedly says that Rev. Wright's lifetime of ministry has been impugned by his detractors. Let's give credit where credit is due. Rev. Wright was instrumental in establishing numerous ministries that help people with a variety of needs. Rev. Wright and his congregation should be commended for those ministries.
However, nearly all churches have ministries that help people with a variety of needs. The fact that Rev. Wright has helped to establish ministries which help people does not excuse his indoctrination of the Anti-White Ideology of Black Liberation Theology to his congregation. Some people refer to Black Liberation Theology as a type of 'Victimization' Theology. How does it affect a person who has listened to it for 20 years? How does it affect children?
How many times can a person hear about the 'White Oppressors' before he begins believing that, as Rev. Wright describes America, the "US of KKK-A" owes him - big time?
Linda Chavez wrote "Afrocentrism Is the Problem" in the 3/19/2008 edition of the 'National Review Online.' Check the archives at: http://www.nationalreview.com/archives/?q=MjAwODAzMTc
Excerpts from her article follows:
"...Afrocentrism is no more a reflection of authentic African culture than white supremacy is of American culture. Nor is Afrocentrism merely about black pride - though Afrocentric "scholars" do frequently claim that Moses, Jesus, Cicero, Cleopatra, and a host of other luminaries were black."
"At its heart, Afrocentrism is based on a profoundly anti-white and paranoid ideology. First, it asserts that the entire foundation of Western Civilization was stolen by the Greeks from Egypt, which, Afrocentrics claim, was ruled by ancient blacks. Second, it claims that whites are deeply inferior..."
