It has the appearance of being staged. But in retrospect, when one compares what actually happened, to Obama’s characterization of it, it is an absolutely stupefying response. The President basically said “Hey watch THIS magic act. Not only am I going to put one foot in my mouth, I’m going to both of them in, all the way up to my knees!”
OdumbO didn’t do his usual um, er, hem and hawing that goes with an unexpected question. He acted prepared and as I said, he also appeared to be looking at notes.
