Sad truth is it was a smart move. This refusal to take any tough questions won't be widely reported and yet had he done the interview and fumbled it might get SOME air play in the closing days of the election.

If I where his campaign manager I would advise against the interview.

That said...Obama is just another junior politician who was able to successfully convince a bunch of Democratic Sheeple that he was different.

He'll win the election on the backs of the millions of newly registered voters, many of whom don't have any formal education, jobs or a stake in the future of America.
