You are also off it.
One can NOT judge Obama’a leadership effectiveness by observing whether the attacks on Palin cease.
Obama’s call for cessation of the attacks is motivated by one of the folowing conditions:
A. He is offended by the attacks and genuinely sees them as low class politics unworthy of his noble crusade for the presidency. In this case, his opposition to the attacks is sincere.
B. Obama sees the attacks as transparent, weak and futile. He is fearful the attacks will actually strengthen Palin and blow back negatively against his own campaign. In this case, his opposition to the attacks is sincere.
C. Obama wants the attacks to continue and wants Palin to be destroyed by these attacks. His call for the attacks to cease is nothing but a cynical ploy to deflect criticism against himself.
Since C is obviously the correct answer, then Obama’s effectiveness can best be measured by how the imact of the attacks plays out. Can Obama drive up Palin’s negatives without being perceived as the bad guy? With his cronies in the press running interference for him, it’s a possibility.
What is the sound of one million liberals laughing?!
It's actually the conservatives who should be crying - at a "family values" candidate with a pregnant daughter. Instead, they're defending her AND the daughter! As society spirals ever downward.......
Little known fact:
If placed into Schroedinger’s experiment, both Sarah Palins remain alive.
” If Obama is the leader he claims to be the attacks against Palin’s family will cease immediately.”
Well, done!
This is a turning point in history. I wonder how many people will recognize that.
That assumes they know you're measuring them.
McCain/Palin 2008!!!
ROFL!
Little known fact: Sarah Palin will build her gas pipeline in record time when she invites the nation’s steelworkers to come to Alaska and lay some pipe.

They know now. however, I agree; a more stealthy observation would be more accurate.
Point taken as it regards the media. I am observing the people.
Exactly my point when I stated they devise measurement methods that reduce the influence on the measurements.
In the lab, an engineer will go to great lengths, and expense, to obtain the results within the uncertainties his design can tolerate. On the layman’s level, we could compare measuring the tire pressure of your car’s tires. You make a measurement with a tire pressure gauge that has an inherent accuracy. However, that little pssst…you hear, as air escapes when you remove the gauge from the Schrader value means the true pressure is again unknown to you. This error is tolerable for a car’s tire pressure. Food for thought…there is a difference between accuracy and precision.
The effort to oppose Sarah Palin will go to no such lengths to assure accuracy. She will be on her own and we will observe how well she handles it.
