Fox isnt going to dictate what the candidates say- here is their chance and they are running away from it. I cant believe they are willing to do youtube debates when one of the questions start out with WHASSSSS UPPPPP? - is this presidential or what The whole problem here is because fox news attracts more conservatives than any other network, why not go on there and try to prove you democratic ideal and change some republicans minds.

CBS' "Public Eye," perhaps the most well-respected voice for excellence in journalism, makes a good point: <strong>"If you’re a bit wobbly or overly cautious on the campaign trail, what are voters to think you’ll do in the Oval Office without a net?"</strong> I don't know about you guys, but I want our next president to play to the American people and not to a vocal minority in his/her base. This seems childish at best.

He was also told he made a huge mistake saying what he did. He lost a lot of support in the area because he showed no understanding of the situation. Anybody who thinks CAFE standards work is clueless. Too bad Obama offered only uninformed criticism and no solutions. He was also told he made a huge mistake saying what he did.
