Obama unsure about April 27 debate


Barack Obama is not sure if he'll debate on April 27 in North Carolina.

In a brief e-mail to Dome, Obama spokesman Dan Leistikow said that they were not sure if they would take Hillary Clinton up on her offer for a debate sponsored by CBS News.

"We had proposed a debate in North Carolina before the 22nd of April," he wrote. "Apparently, the Clinton folks vetoed that. We haven't made a decision whether the later date fits into our schedule."

What else might Obama be doing that night? Well, there is a Bruce Springsteen concert in Charlotte on April 27, only a few blocks away from Blumenthal Center.

Maybe he's got tickets.

With Obamas association with the trinity church if Christ and Oprahs New Earth Church which doesn't believe that you can sin and do no wrong.She believes there is no god no heaven or hell these Churches are pouring money into this election.They are trying to destroy our American way of life lot of our loved ones died for this country and for A proclaimed minister to stand in the pulpit and say what he said about our beloved country and the have been the spiritual advisor and mentor for the man that wants to be president of this country.People had better open their eyes and ear's If you think times are hard now vote for Obama and experience hard times.Obama says he doesnt take big oil money well he doesnt he takes it from their employees the the big oil company gives them to donate.Type Nadhmi Auchi and tony Rezko into your browser and read it will open your eyes.

Re: Obama unsure about April 27 debate

(did you watch the NC GOP debate?) NC corruption affects you WAY more than these two clowns...

Politics, politics, politics,,,

Obama campaign, listen up. I know you've conceded Pennsylvania, you know you've conceded Pennsylvania. Nevertheless, the people there will still be voting, in their bowling shoes and all. So Sen. Clinton will NOT be debating in NC BEFORE the Pennsylvania primary. Just get used to it.

After she wins big there, THEN we can have all the debates in the world...

Amazing how quick he was to announce that there would be a debate in NC and now he is backing off. Don't folks in NC have a right to hear them debate the issues that matter to our state?

Re: Obama unsure about April 27 debate

He must be afraid to debate Hillary. I can draw no other conclusion.
