Since Obama first came to national notice at the Dems 2004 convention his consise and smooth oratory style of speaking has been his most consistent and noteworthy trademark. Likewise, when caricatured in political skits he is portrayed as speaking with slow, measured and deliberate answers. So, who is buying it when he tries to excuse away his condescending remarks about Pennsylvania voters to his well-heeled California supporters by saying he "mangled" or used poor "syntax" or that he 'might have said it better' ? He said what he meant and he got caught.
