Obama was clearly struggling in that interview. He was stuttering, stammering, obviously trying to create answers as he went along. I was shocked at how poorly he did. He made it sound as though he was rarely at church, did not really know Rev. Wright, that their relationship had been greatly exaggerated, that he had NO IDEA what was being said. Isn’t it convenient that the offensive sermons took place when Obama wasn’t there? Hmmm...
"As I look aroooooound the roooom. I don't see our brother Obama. Sooooo, let me tell youuuuuu about the reeeeeeal America."
I watched that interview and agree w/ your assessment - Nobama was definitely winging it, making stuff up as he went along.
What struck me, however, was that BOR left Nobama off the hook regarding his obvious prevarications about the wrong Rev Wright. When he admitted being in the church twice per month X 20 years - that’s nearly 500 EVENTS - he claimed he had “never heard” Wright utter those now infamous lines. BOR just kind of swallowed this line of bunk hook, line and sinker. But think about it - if these defamatory statements from the Rev were so out of character, wouldn’t one expect the congregation to be stunned, gasping at the outrageousness of them? Rather, they cheered and cheered each calumny, certainly indicating that this was quite in character for the Rev. BOR should have called out Nobama on his obvious lie. But, as usual, he was too busy “bloviating” for “the folks”
