The excuse of the day, so far: “Gore Blames Altitude for Obama's Debate Woes”
This
is from today’s CQ Roll Call Daily Briefing by David Hawkings: “There
are a series of corollary questions about Obama, who looked for all the
world last night as though he wished he’d chosen to take his wife out to
dinner on their actual anniversary — and was plenty peeved that he
wasn’t able to. Were there some hard-to-fathom strategic reasons why he
never used the phrases ‘Bain Capital’ ‘tax returns,’ ‘abortion rights’
or — most mysterious of all — ‘47 percent’? In the next two debates,
will he be able to get over his manifest annoyance that, after four
years as the undisputed alpha male in American public life, he’s going
to have to share equal billing with someone else for another 180 minutes
— and that someone will have the unique standing to call out the
president in public? Will he learn that, in a debate, the professorial
tone he takes at news conferences comes across as pedantic, and jotting
notes at the podium comes across as avoiding eye contact with both his
challenger and his country?”
For more great analysis check out Hot Air and National Review. And there's plenty more where that came from. (cartoon at today's Lucianne.com)
