The New York Times is reporting that Senator Barack Obama has refused to attend a town hall-style appearance with Senator John McCain sponsored by members of the military and veterans. Senator McCain accepted the invitation.
The organizers include American Veterans, Disabled American Veterans, Military Order of the Purple Heart, Veterans for Common Sense and Military Spouse Corporate Career Network. The FRA recently joined with the the 2008 Fort Hood Presidential Town Hall Consortium.
The meeting would be covered by CBS News, who will broadcast the meeting live from 9 to 11 p.m. Eastern time on Monday, Aug. 11. The two candidates would face questions directly from an audience of 6,000 people, made up of veterans, service members and military families from the base.
Senator McCain proposed several town hall meetings when he clinched the GOP presidential nomination, but Barack Obama has not agreed to attend a single one. Why is Obama refusing to debate the issues with Senator McCain? Why is he hiding? Could it be that he's helpless without a telepromptor in front of him?
As the late William F. Buckley would say, "Why does the baloney avoid the slicer?"
