I didn't see it but I want to do a Spencism here:
Parahprasing, err, Spencerphrasing here:
"Well, obviously that was a problem or two, but overall, what fantastic effort, breaking the paradigm while reaching to all parties in an effort to forward the global commons. I'm impressed at this part Abe Lincoln, part Bill Gates, part Gandhi like figure."
Spencism: Start off with partial agreemement to establish commonality with poster, than redirect to other flowery aspects, real or imagined"

BING F'N GO! 
You have just nailed it! I was trying to put it into words, but you did a much better job than I would have. |
Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio

and can articulate his position well.

Are you serious?
I guess I was hoping to see a President who could, umm, well, ahh, articulate himself well on a series of softball questions.
To be honest, I turned it on at 8:30 and the first question I saw was related to Rush Limbaugh and the state of the Republican Party. OK, thats real important. A couple more question, one about what was he most surprised, humbled, enchanted, etc., which he proceded to stumbled through (BTW, with all the chuckling with this one, was this what you think was "good humor"?). Then one on abortion, which he hemmed and hawed some more while answering. I couldn't watch anymore after that.
Like Jimmy said, it seemed like he was still campaigning and playing politics. |

What was imagined? I guess you don't think Obama has a good comprehension of the issues?
What you take for commonality I regard as objectivity. I'm simply calling it like I see it...
