This is Obama when he gets off his canned stump speeches, prepared talking points and pre-arranged softball interviews. You can just guess how his press conferences will go once he takes office and he has to discuss some actual bad news or tough decisions that he's responsible for.Appa23 wrote:The Nancy Reagan thing went beyond just a "lame attempt at a joke." For someone that everyone bills as being so smart, so visionary, so in tune with everyone's cares, this was a partisan swipe, IMO. If it was just a "spur of the moment", lame joke, he would have apologized immediately, realizing that his mouth got ahead of his brain. He didn't. It was not until he was getting bad press that he apologized.
Now, let's move on.
Instead of the media playing cut-and-paste gotcha games with Sarah Palin, they sould have gone after him with the tough questions. They did, one time in the last debate wih Hillary before the PA primary, and the response from Obama's camp was so outraged that the press quit even trying to get real answers from him after that.
