Obama: I Want to Meet Voters, Not Debate

(CBS)

From CBS News' Maria Gavrilovic:


INDIANAPOLIS -- Barack Obama today defended his decision not to debate Hillary Clinton in Indiana or North Carolina, saying that he needs more time to campaign.

"We've got nine days to try to campaign and meet as many voters as possible," he told reporters. "So rather than being in a studio, I want to make sure that we're reaching out to folks where they live, answering their questions and having as many interactions as possible."

He said Indiana is an important state in the upcoming May 6th primary where he and Senator Clinton are in a statistical tie. However, Obama refused to say how damaging the loss of the Indiana primary would be to the future of his campaign. "I'll let you guys prognosticate," he said.

This morning, Obama attended church service at St. Luke's United Methodist, the same church that Sen. Dick Lugar, R-Ind., attends. Obama told voters yesterday that Lugar is type of Republican he would consider working with if he is elected president.

"Dick Lugar and I have worked together closely," he said. "He and I worked together on nuclear proliferation issues, we traveled to Russia together, we have tried to prevent weapons falling into the hands of terrorists that could do us enormous damage. I consider him a friend and I think he is one of the finest senators that we have. So he is an example of the kind of person where I want to be able to work across party lines."

Hillary may have more political experience than Obama, but old Hillary, with 35 years of experience and the advice of an ex President behind her, still voted to go to war in Iraq.

Like Obama, and like millions of ordinary people, she knew that the Iraq threat was a pack of lies but the problem was that she had her eye on the future Presidency; and I think she did not want to be painted as someone who is afraid of war just because she is a woman, this would have damaged her future presidential bid; so she chose the political expedient thing to do, lets go with the flow, lets not rock the boat.

So, to fulfill her personal ambitions, she now has the blood of 4000 US servicemen on her hands and she can never wash that away, no matter how she spins it.

Even to this day, she never uses her own judgment; she says whatever she thinks the audience wants to hear and changes her stance according to the state she is in. That%u2019s why polls show that voters consider her to be the most dishonest politician.

If Hillary is the nominee I would reluctantly vote for her; but I prefer to have a leader who has the integrity to stand by their beliefs rather than go with the flow, even if that means they have to stand alone in a crowded room.

I listened to all of Jeremiah Wrights speech and now I can''t
sleep.

Obama don''t like to debate because he thinks from the right side of his brain (according to Jeremiah Wright). Its a lot easier for him to read from a teleprompter.

Billaries are still interested in some of their sophomoric debates. Whom have they prepared this time to asked the questions. The last time around it was George and Gibbs.

More and more it seems Bill and Hillary believe they are the owners of the Democratic party.

They have been told again and again. There is no way the Billaries can overtake Obama again Okay!!!

I want to be out reaching voters because I suck at debates, and people are tired of my big rallies of college kids with me telling them I am their savior. All of a sudden everyone has gotten hip to my hype, and noticed there really just isn''t that much substance.
This really blows-can''t I just run some more TV ads?

IT%u2019S ACTUALLY HILLARY AGAINST THE USA MUSLIM POPULATION AND SOME DUMB WHITE
PEOPLE.
OBAMA WHOSE REAL NAME IS BARRY SOETORO, WAS PUT UP BY FARRAHKAN AND IS BACKED BY
THE MUSLIM NATION WITH MONEY FROM LIBYA.

EXCERPT FROM THE %u201CJUST SOUND BITES%u201D REV.WRIGHT AND FARRAHKAN TRIP TO LIBYA..

Louis Farrakhan, the leader of the Nation of Islam, was seeking the United
States
Government%u2019s permission to accept $1 billion from Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi of
Libya. The gift, Mr. Farrakhan said, would be used to mobilize American black
voters and bolster their economic strength. (elect Obama ?)

Their AGENDA: (excerpt)

%u201CWhile visiting that mercurial miscreant Libyan strongman Col. Muammar Qaddafi,
Farrakhan struck a deal which secured millions of dollars from Libya to lobby
for the secession of part of the United States. The goal is the formation of a
separate black nation on the North American Continent replete with a 500,000 man
army and nuclear weapons. %u201C

have you read this?%u2026%u2026%u2026.this is what his church teaches to his daughters on
Sundays%u2026%u2026%u2026.these are the Marxist writings of James H. Cones - you can look it up - Jeremiah
Wright preaches from these writings%u2026%u2026

%u201CBlack theology refuses to accept a God who is not identified totally with the
goals of the black community. If God is not for us and against white people,
then he is a murderer and we had better kill him. The task of black theology is
to kill gods who do not belong to the black community. Black theology will
accept only the love of God which participates in the destruction of the white
enemy. What we need is the divine love as expressed in black power which is the
power of black people to destroy their oppressors here and now by any means at
their disposal. Unless God is participating in his holy activity, we must reject
his love.%u201D

OBAMA is standing in front of the camera himself for 52 seconds explaining how he will disarm the USA.

What we are talking about here IS NOT about politics and the differing
views concerning issues.....this is about the potential literal destruction of
this country by our enemies and our inability to defend ourselves against those
attacks.

This is a very short (52 seconds) video by Barak Obama in his own words
about how he plans to destroy our defense capabilities if elected.

He did so poorly in the last debate it is no wonder.
He is also afraid of what questions he will be ask..
There is so much we don''t know about him and the things that we are finding out are scary as hell.
