This was all political theater, a side show planned by Obama’s handlers to make the GOP look petulant. He will somehow slam them with being unable to look beyond their election campaigns at the bigger picture where he acts like he took the high ground. Sadly this charade will work on some people.
No, this is a massive loss of ‘face.’ He has just been ordered by a subordinate government official to move his speech for the convenience of a rival political party. This is supposed to be the most powerful man, in the most powerful country in the world; he has just followed orders from a SUBORDINATE political official. The entire world will hear about this and know about it. After this he will be lucky to be able to look other international officials in the face.
