James Carville stands firm on Obama testicle bash By Peter Nicholas - Tribune Washington Bureau, Steve Krakauer - Mediaite 10:51 AM 11/19/2010
It was clear who James Carville supported during the 2008 Democratic primary, squarely for Sen. Hillary Clinton over Sen. Barack Obama. So how much has changed? After telling an old campaign joke, ['If Hillary gave him one of her balls, theyd both have two'], Carville went on CNN to reiterate Im not sorry and I dont apologize.
Last night he called in to CNN, where the host said some were outraged. Carville told everyone to just chill: Outraged? Its a joke. In fact, it was an old joke.
Of all the things that people say about the President, and I actually support most things the president does, I think this is fairly mild If I offended anyone Im not sorry and I dont apologize.
Focus groups showed that voters recoiled over claims that the White House s economic policies were helping matters, Carville said.
People would get mad! Carville said. Most of the time you have a message thats not very good; it goes in one ear and out the other. This one went in one ear and went right to the brain.
If Obamas resolve to rescue the banks and auto industry was part of a coherent strategy, voters never absorbed that message, Carville said. Instead, voters came away thinking that Washington was merely throwing money at everything, as opposed to having a strategy to deal with it. Dont tell them its working! Carville added.
I actually do believe she holds to her beliefs and is authentic in expressing them. I 'trust' her; but do remain confounded and disappointed by her choices. But then; it is her life. Do wonder who 'the kids' will follow politically. (Cannot be worse than Megan McCain. . .)
Glad you are laughing!
