People aren’t looking at these odd moments off-teleprompter were BO is boofing his lines, they’re looking at the presidential way he comports himself in Afghanistan and Iraq because McCain dared him to go over there. McCain goaded him on, betting that he would trip himself up, but all he really did was focus America’s attention overseas and set the stage for Obama to totally own the news cycle, to the point where only one reporter and one cameraman covered McCain.. He was so desperate he flirted with picking Bobby Jindal as his VP just to grab a few headlines away from Obama. That would work for about three days maybe, and then McCain would be left with no more ammunition.
