Every time soneone critiques Obama(wow, critiqing someone who is running for President, what's the world coming to) we hear the usual "why don't we talk about the issues and leave his character, bowling skills and business deals alone"

but when someone asks Obama about the issues all Obama wants to do is be left alone to eat waffles

One ducked question does not a dodger make. The funny--or telling--thing about the clip is that he obviously didn't want to eat the damn diner waffle in the first place. As you can tell by looking at him, he is not a high carb kind of guy. From what I read, he didn't finish the waffle and at another stop he handed off his fries to somebody else.

Oh, I agree and actually felt sorry for him and every politician who has to go and do the diner thing...there he is, trying to act like he is enjoying a food he normally wouldn't ever eat and just when he is about to take a bite a reporter asks him a serious, albeit a little off the wall, question about Jimmy Carter and Hamas.

Still, this question was totally about the issues and unless its' slipped past my radar remains unanswered.

Well, at least he plays a good game of basketball. He should challenge Hillary to a game. Loser has to eat waffles and fries.

Really, Jeff- I don't for a moment think that you care a bit about his opinion regarding Carter's trip. I also really don't think it matters squat as an issue, at least when compared to the many, many others that come to mind as I type this. It must be hell being a candidate sometimes- everyone wants the perfect soundbite response to questions that are either complex, poorly posed or just plain asinine. McCain would have just told the reporter to **** off, and maybe shoved him as he said it.

I didn't...but since he has been dodging this question my curiosity is piqued.
