McClellan is not thinking fast on his feet.
Observed is a word with a double meaning. One is "to see." The other is "to evaluate."
The principal of the high school observed each of his teachers for purposes of helping them get better.
He is doing fine. No one but Ari could do better under this barrage.
The point is to remain calm against the media getting angrier and angrier. If he loses his temper, he loses everything.
This is the first time I've observed McClellan in a briefing. This is pathetic. WHY is he and the White House being SO DEFENSIVE about this! How many times can he say the same thing over and over.
I can't believe the WH has allowed the democrats to put them on a defensive mode about things that don't matter! Or defensive about ANYTHING! Bush as a great record to run on. He doesn't need to keep defending this stuff.
