    Bush likely to skip out on presidential debate where he could be asked questions

    Although the presidential debates dates have been set for a while, Bush's team says he wouldn't actually be dropping out of the debate scheduled for Washington University in St. Louis because they never agreed to the debates in the first place.

    They claim the reason is that the debate is a "town hall" type meeting and they are afraid the Gallup Organization who is to choose the audience members to ask questions will pull a trick on them by slipping partisan voters in place of undecided voters. They apparently don't want want to answer questions from real people, but as it stands now they are OK with the other 2 debates where moderators will ask questions in pre-determined topics.

    More info in these articles:

          If I were a president or this president?

          If I were a president I would want the good PR of being seen on TV answering questions from the people who might be voting for me.

          If I were this president I'd get out of as many of them as I could.

              Debate ????

              Ever saw Bush do a debate ??? I haven't...

              He can only play concentration:

              Match the answer with question, and he needs to see and know both of them way before...

              Monkeys can do that also...
              I know that Asspimple is stoopid ... As he says, it is a FACT !

              But I can't figure out how he can breathe or type , at the same time ....

                  If I were this President I definitely would not want to debate with unprepeared questions.

                  The consequences of someone asking an embarassing or difficult to answer question could be bad.

                  They could ask questions I do not have the answer for.

                      Clinton was only in two debates against Dole when he was president. What difference is this?
                      There is none.

                          No, it's quite different. Clinton / Dole included the town hall debate.

                                  He kicked Gore's ass, and Kerry is no Gore.

                                          Bush is great at rattling off pre-rehearsed statements/speeches but he falls apart when he needs to "think on his feet".

                                              He didn't kick gore's ass...he just did much better than ppl thought he would. Hence you might have that perception.

                                              W can be an effective speaker when he doesn't get overly confused.

                                              However, Kerry is a trained lawyer...3 years as a prosecutor at that and was in Political Union at Yale (which is a kind of debate society).

                                              But these are "real" debates, they aremorelike speeches, so ppl will judge on perception alone, not the substance of answers.

                                                  If I were this president, id pull a *MAJOR* sicky.

                                                  On the other hand, if I were just a regular viewer watching the televised debates, I think it would be funny to see him try.

                                                      put him in a town meeting with real people and hes lost because no one is talking into his ear piece or wrote down exactly what to say so that he doesnt come off as a complete moron.

                                                                          However, Bush is definitely an extreme case here. Remember when a reporter asked a question, and instead of answering, he said, "Uhh... I don't think we agreed to that question," or something along those lines... and he didn't answer it. It was a valid question, but he won't do press conferences unless he knows the questions in advance and his advisors can prepare answers.

All I see is that fucking gay ass music video from "Rick Roll". Anyone else have a different link to the news clip?
