on his first day back from vacation, obama will take part in what’s being billed as the “purpose-driven debate”.
this could be interesting:
McCain, Obama & Rick Warren – The “Purpose-Driven Debate”:
…tonight, we will see Barack Obama and John McCain on stage together for the first time this political season.
Brought together by the best-selling author and pastor of the fourth largest church in the U.S., pastor Rick Warren will talk to both candidates tonight for about an hour each.
The focus is on faith… questions will focus on how the candidates lead and make decisions and will cover five topics: leadership, stewardship, worldview, compassion issues, and their vision for America.
The format is somewhat similar to a game show…One candidate in a soundproof bubble (or room) while the other candidate is on stage. Obama is up first and then McCain. The order was determined by a coin-flip.
They will be asked the same questions and their personal life is on the table because “character matters,” Warren said.
l understand that following the conclusion of mccain’s session, they’ll both be on stage together…the contrast should be striking.
the “debate” is scheduled to be aired live by kdoc, faux news, and cnn. and can be viewed via live webcast from 5 – 7 pm/pdt.
we shall see.
