Like hummingbirds we get our nectar in the smallest sips:
Obama Ditches CBC/Fox Debate
Barack Obama has chosen not to attend September’s Democratic presidential primary debate co-sponsored by the Congressional Black Caucus Institute and Fox News, an aide said, effectively dooming the event.
Obama is the only member of the Congressional Black Caucus running for President, and his decision allows other candidates to skip the debate without facing criticism that they are turning their backs on a leading black institution.
Friday, John Edwards was the first candidate to announce he’d skip the debate. The CBC Institute is hosting one other debate, with CNN in January, in which all candidates are expected to participate.
Thank you John and thank you Barak for saying No and No to FOX. The CBC Institute needs to find a face-saving way to slip out of its agreement. Make it with PBS, make it with MSNBC, make it with Sirius satellite but don’t make it with FOX.
Update: Oh April truly is the sweetest month…
Hillary Clinton will not participate in a Democratic debate co-hosted by Fox News Channel this fall, campaign aides indicated Monday.
Passing FOX like bad gas….
