This is becoming like the big John Edwards scoop of a couple of weeks ago. Wait until everyone has gone home for the weekend before breaking the story. What does he have to be ashamed of it he wants to make the announcement in Friday night obscurity?
Just odd.
Rush said perhaps he’d do it tonight during the Olympics...you know, people are sitting quietly at home watching the games and then NBC BREAKING NEWS ALERT with all the Drive-Bys breathlessly reporting at the scene.
Obama doesn’t want obscurity. But he doesn’t want a negative reaction from the market, either.
