Charles Blow Rides the Obama Debate Sit’n'Spin
October 4th, 2012 - 3:07 pm
Yeah, here’s one of the demonstrably silly assertions I’ve seen in a long time, and I read this stuff for a living:
President Obama’s stylistic strategy during Wednesday night’s debate seemed to be to try to stay right above the rancor, to appear dignified, presidential. The problem with that approach is that the line between dignified and presidential and anodyne and weak is the width of a cat’s hair
Come again?
There were two candidates on that stage last night. One of them looked presidential, the other didn’t. The one who didn’t was Obama, and you can’t tell me that there was “a cat’s hair” of difference between him and Romney.
What is best in life? To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their Media women!
Yeah, the one who looked presidential is the one who didn’t apologize for a youtube video after Benghazi. Jeebus, do these people hear themselves?
Sarah:
They hear themselves all the time. In fact, they love to; they love the sound of their own voices.
Now, whether they actually listen is another question. Magic 8-Ball says “Signs point to no.”
One of them looked presidential, the other didn’t. The one who didn’t was… “a cat’s hair”.
How does one stay “above the rancor” when you are a participant in a one-on-one debate?
Whatdya mean “one-on-one”? Jim and Barry vs Mitt is two on one.
(Though it’s two-on-one in Mitt’s favor if you’re counting brains and not bodies.)
My cat horked up an Obama last night.
