If Obama planted the question, why was he so unprepared to answer it?
The reporter in question btw, says that she was notified that she might be called on. She said that if she was called on while the topic was still on health care she would have asked about that topic. But since all of the obvious health care questions were already asked, she moved on to something else.
“If Obama planted the question, why was he so unprepared to answer it?”
A plausible explanation is that he thought his answer would help restore support from black population, which is likely slipping because he’s done absolutely nothing for them (or for anyone else).
Remember, Obama is friends with Professor Gates.
In his limited, leftist oriented thinking, Obama didn’t realize the huge potential for backfire.
I don’t think he was unprepared at all. I think he chose his words carefully, and I think he intended all along to use the word “stupidly.” He can’t help himself. He’s a community organizer - an agitator - and he knows which words to use. The problem is that he is ill-equipped for the Presidency and doesn’t understand the consequences of mixing the agitator and the leader of the free world together.
