McCain's Camp Responds To Obama's Backing Out Of Towhall Debates
Obama backs away from McCain's debate challenge
In May, when a McCain adviser proposed a series of pre-convention appearances at town hall meetings, Obama said, "I think that's a great idea." In summer stumping on the campaign trail, McCain has often noted that Obama had not followed through and joined him in any events.
Obama's reversal on town hall debates is part of a play-it-safe strategy he's adopted since claiming the nomination and grabbing a lead in national polls. Advisers to the Illinois senator, speaking on condition of anonymity because they are not authorized to discuss strategy, say Obama is reluctant to take chances or give McCain a high-profile stage now that Obama's the front-runner.
On Saturday, in a letter to the Commission on Presidential Debates, Obama campaign manager David Plouffe said the short period between the last political convention and the first proposed debate made it likely that the commission-sponsored debates would be the only ones.
McCain's campaign disparaged Obama for backing off. "We understand it might be beneath a worldwide celebrity of Barack Obama's magnitude to appear at town hall meetings alongside John McCain and directly answer questions from the American people, but we hope he'll reconsider," spokesman Brian Rogers said.

Oh, that's gonna leave a mark.
ROTFLMAO
I wondered what the McCain camp was going to say but this....but this is much better then I thought it would be.
They hit it out of the park!
Watch Hussein Obama when he speaks. His head swings from left to right to left to right and appears to be looking at the crowd.
However, he NEVER looks straight on down the middle.
That's because there's no TelePrompter there.
He has one on the left and one on the right - and his head swivels back and forth like someone at a tennis match.
It's hysterical.
I'd like to see what would happen if he swung to look at one and it was BLANK.
He'd panic, loose his place, and we'd see a blithering idiot standing there uttering uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh

Beneath his worldwide status? That's why he went to Europe. So he could be considered an International star and that everything else is beneath him. Now we see the true colors coming out. He can't compete with McCain, so he's dodging him and coming up with excuses out his butt! What is he, Chicken? Bock-bock-bock!!!!
