However, I dont think Obama has succeeded in this goal. The media bought it, but that's not unusual as they would do anything to promote Obama's preferred narrative. The question is, "would the rest of America buy it?" I think in short order, there are going to be more questions than answers regarding this latest development.
I am not sure that his goal had anything to do with this narrative. It could have been just to take the attention off of Bernanke's news conference and our horrible economy. Bleh.
