Will Obama Appear At Town Hall With McCain Tonight?
(CBS)
From CBS News’ John Bentley:
BOSTON -- John McCain will hold two town hall meetings today, and he’s been asking Barack Obama all week to show up to one of them. But it now appears it will be a solo act.
“I haven’t heard from Sen. Obama, but I certainly urge him again to accept my request to meet me at town hall meetings all over America,” McCain said yesterday. Originally, two chairs were to be placed on stage at Federal Hall tonight in New York City, according to the McCain campaign, but Obama’s camp says it has no intention of travelling to New York today.
“We are happy to do more than the three typical presidential debates in the fall,” Obama said Tuesday. “It's not realistic for us to do 10. We're dealing with all the campaign events that I have to do, since we've just finished our primary election. So it will probably be somewhat fewer than 10, but more than the three that have been already agreed to, and we'll probably propose a mix of formats.”
What that mix of formats will be or when they will take place is still up for debate. As for McCain, he holds a town hall meeting in Nashua, New Hampshire, this afternoon before heading to New York tonight.
John McSame will no doubt have a selected crowd much like George "war monger" Bush has done throughout his Presidency and Campaign runs.
Watch to see if a Republican can really debate a room full of real Americans with real questions.

Not a fan of Bush, but what is wrong with more Drilling. Its crazy we don''t drill more places. There are other countries drilling 30 miles off of FL coast but we wont let our companies drill their because of some stupid fish.
We could reduce are oil dependency if we would drill and have more oil refineries. I''m not saying that should be are only solution to the energy problem, but that sure would help.
Howard Dean got it exactly right: "Once again John McCain''s campaign is trying to mislead the American people. Senator McCain should understand that after seven years of a President who has divided Americans and pursued a scorched earth policy full of misleading propaganda campaigns, we need a leader who understands he is the President for all Americans not just his supporters. Copying the Bush campaign model of stacking events with his prescreened supporters is not the transparency Americans are looking for. If that is Senator McCain''s idea of straight talk, the American people are in for a long and disappointing campaign season."
LIES
We should call Republicans - We-LIE-licans
Throughout his career in the House and Senate, McCain has been at odds with his party on a range of issues, including campaign finance reform, earmarks, immigration, healthcare, taxes and energy.
Some Senate Republicans were especially irked with McCain%u2019s role in the %u201CGang of 14%u201D deal on judicial nominations.
Rep. Tom Tancredo (R-Colo.), who has been sharply critical of McCain on immigration, told The Hill in February, %u201CI don%u2019t like McCain. I don%u2019t like him at all.%u201D
Tancredo spokesman Mac Zimmerman said Tancredo won%u2019t endorse McCain because he fears the senator would repudiate it like he did with the formal backing of controversial pastor John Hagee.
However, Tancredo told ABC News this week he will reluctantly vote for McCain.
Jones, who has voted repeatedly with Democrats on Iraq, said he can%u2019t back McCain until he gets %u201Ca better explanation of the plans for Iraq and more discussion on the economy.%u201D Jones added that no one from McCain%u2019s campaign has reached out to him.
Sorry, The Whites Only in the White House, is coming to a END.
I bet you`ll have a Problem (R) Vice President Bobby Jindal, whose Real Name is Not Bobby, but an Adopted Name.
Bobby Jindal was also a Hindu until Graduating High School and he continues his Hindu traditions of being a Vegetarian.
IF McCain`s A$$ is Elected and Jindal is his Vice President, he`ll become President of the USA at (36)
B!tch About that ....
You Snaggle Tooth Jack A$$
Bobby Jindal LOOKS MORE like an ARAB, than Brack Obama ....
I can Hear it NOW, when McCain can`t Finish his TERM as YOUR USA President...
I Piyush Jindal, do Solemly Swear, to uphold the constitution of the USA as its...President
Hahahahaha !!!!
I Hope McCain Reinstates the DRAFT and DRAFT YOU or YOUR LEGAL OF AGE...CHILDREN, THEN YOU`LL SEE IT OBAMA`S WAY !!
How is Israel Threatened ?
Israel has 150 Nuclear Weapons, that could DESTROY the WORLD Times OVER an thats without Jimmy Carter Exposing this fact, NPR, Rueters & PBS Knew Israel had Nuclear Weapons, Noone knew the Exact NUMBER, Now they DO.
So the Helpless & All Alone Image has been EXPOSED FOREVER !!
You go DIE for Israel, they are not Helping in Iraq or Afghanistan are they.
Is Israel, Laying down its Flesh, Bone, Blood & Spirit ?
NOOOO
If I have (150) AK-47`S & (150) Mac-10`S and my Enemy has (50) 38 Specials & (20) 44 Magnum Revolvers.
Trust Me, My Enemy is AFRAID of ME, Not ME being AFRAID of My Enemy.
Enough of this Holy Land, Bibilical, Torah & Quran Bull Spit !!
This is about Money, Power, Might Makes Right and Humanity, on either Side, DOES NOT MATTER.
Leave your Religous & Racial Hate at the Door, its Over Played & Played Out.
RUSSERT: The fact is you are different than George Bush.
SEN. McCAIN: No. No. I-the fact is that I''m different but the fact is that I have agreed with President Bush far more than I have disagreed. And on the transcendent issues, the most important issues of our day, I''ve been totally in agreement and support of President Bush.
McCain went on to insist that, on domestic policies, he and the president had butted heads - which is true on issues like combating climate change and campaign finance.
"But," he quickly added, "I will argue my conservative record voting with anyone''s, and I will also submit that my support for President Bush has been active and very impassioned on issues that are important to the American people. And I''m particularly talking about the war on terror, the war in Iraq, national security, national defense, support of men and women in the military, fiscal discipline, a number of other issues. So I strongly disagree with any assertion that I''ve been more at odds with the president of the United States than I have been in agreement with him."

- Since Obama thinks McCain is old and confused...why is he too scared to debate him without tele prompters? This guy is a wimp.
