Enough is enough for Barack Obama. He has suggested that any further scheduled debates with Hillary Clinton are unnessary, and he just doesn't see the point. The rivals have had 21 debates so far.
If Obama is concerned that the debates are addressing the same issues to the point of redundancy, he is probably right. In the most recent debate Wed. night on ABC, it took 45 minutes before a single relevant issue was brought up. Before that, was simply unnessary banter.
If presidential candidates are going to square off and debate about concerns of the American people, that's great. We need to hear debates of substance that will reveal another part of the candidate, and who and what they stand for. But the media has taken advantage of this election...pushing for more and more exposure of Clinton and Obama.
The two are good for ratings and people genuinely want to hear what they have to say it seems. But, as Obama has suggested, the candidates have covered what they wish to have covered by now in the 21 debates thus far. Until something new comes up, it is unwise to keep pushing Obama and Clinton onto the media's stage.
