Obama Fears Fox
All the harping about Clinton
appearing on Fox and Obama is
afraid to appear. Afraid of the
hard questions and having to appear
without a script. Too much like
chimpy in this respect.

'Fox News Sunday' prods Obama on no-show

WASHINGTON - Hoping to prod Barack Obama into appearing on its show, "Fox News Sunday" launched the "Obama Watch," a weekly update on the number of days the Democratic presidential candidate has failed to appear on the program.

Host Chris Wallace said Sunday that Obama promised him in March 2006 that he would come on the show, but the Illinois senator has since demurred.

Since then, New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, Obama's rival for the Democratic presidential nomination, has been a guest twice and Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., the likely Republican nominee for president, has shown up a half dozen times.

"Many of you have sent us e-mails asking why the senator won't come on 'Fox News Sunday' and face tough questioning," Wallace said toward the end of the hourlong broadcast. "It has now been 730 days, 13 hours, 53 minutes and nine — no, 10 seconds and counting since Obama agreed to be a guest on 'Fox News Sunday. '"

"Tune in next week for the latest," he said.

Obama campaign spokesman Tommy Vietor declined to comment on a possible appearance by Obama on "Fox News Sunday," but noted that the senator did an interview with Fox News Channel as recently as last Friday.

5. Yes, I saw on Bill Moyers how Obama is avoiding press queries.
He walked out recently when questioned in a way he didn't like.

Total Chimpy.
