Obama is a much better debater than lots of people give him credit for - during the health care debate he took on the entire House GOP caucus and came out having comfortably won.
There was no debate. It was a fake summit and the bill was forced on the people WITHOUT a debate.

What's he suppose to do, debate all 10-12 Republican hopefuls? Put your best man/woman up after the primaries and then you'll get your debate. That's the way it works.
Bachman isn't my pick, but the executive presiding over the most transparent administration ever (lol), should be forced to defend his positions to the people in an open debate forum.

I do not agree with much of President Obama's policies because they are too compromising. I would have taken the opportunity during the first two years to remove us from the Middle East, restructured the debt and tax system, reduced both legal and illegal immigration, replaced student loans with government financing, eliminated the gasohol program and a myriad of other right wing subsidies. I would also have looked at President T. Roosevelt’s business regulation system and reinstated most of his programs.

Because of the very nature of my preferred policies and my complete lack of personal wealth I would never be able to finance a campaign.
You do understand to accomplish all you metioned you would have done as president would have requried Congressional assistance? Why would either party want to do anything that would be beneficial to our country??? I am sure Obama had all sorts of big plans about what he would and would not do, how is that working for him, other than ObamaCare that is? For some reason people on here seem to give presidents WAY more power than they really have.

In regards to the OP, Bachmann debating Obama, sure let's show the country just how far the GOP has come.

I would love to see it happen. Obama would wipe the floor with her.

Seriously, if Michelle Bachmann is the best the GOP can come up with, they are in trouble. The retardation of the political process by the radical right in this country continues...

Obama, House Republicans Debate Their Divisions - NYTimes.com

Obama engaged in a back and forth with the House GOP in a public forum, sounds like a debate to me.

Yeah he's a great snake-oil sales - all talk.
Agreed, he said lots of things during the campaign that made me think he would govern much less right-leaning than he has. I'm just pointing out that people here have been claiming that Obama's a terrible debater, but that's just not beared out by history.

Bachmann wants to debate Obama

I'd put my money on Obama. If it touched on history, TKO.

The sad thing is, they had a chance, and didn't.

Watching Bachmann debate Obama would be like watching the Minnesota Vikings fight against real Vikings. All Republicans would have left is hope for tomorrow, if they were lucky.
