Look Who's Not Talking

Seems Barack Obama had enough energy and ideas when he was trying to appeal to the left and defeat a large field of Democrats who would be president. He participated in more than 20 debates in the primary season. Twenty-six to be exact! Once he had the nomination he boasted he'd meet his senate colleague, Republican nominee John McCain "anytime, anywhere" to discuss the issues in front of the American people.

Apparently, though, Obama either doesn't like the town hall format or he's reluctant to take on McCain mano a mano any more than he must. He's agreeing to debate only the bare minimum: just three debates before November. C'mon, you fellows can do better than that. Show us you can handle something other than a super friendly crowd, Barack! Your competitor already has.
