Why not a debate on the economy where O'bama is at his best :
No budget in 3 1/2 years
People out of work
People losing their homes
Gas prices have double while he's been in office
Busineses closes its doors
These are the questions that need to be answered

The anemic so called recovery is being touted as the best anyone could have done including Slick Willy because Billy said so. Therefore it must be true. The current occupier of the oval office has been the greatest disapointment in the US presidential history. Jimmy Carter is dancing in Georgia because he will no loger be called the worst president. Ronald Reagan inherited a worse unemployment rate and 18% interest rates, he never blamed his predisesor. He went to work.
The race baiter in chief, if you pay attention to the news, has done nothing but pit this country against itself, brother against brother. This post racial president has been the most racist anti christian president.
