Yeah, exactly. Steph offers a correction which Obama begins to accept, but then Obama realizes that Steph has missed his point and that the correction is off target, so he switches to explaining what he meant. He does not accept Steph’s correction because the issue isn’t that he misspoke. His meaning was fine but did require an understanding of context to be clear. His clarification then made the meaning explicit.

This is pretty obvious if you’ve watched the video. Someone linked to it in an earlier post. You might check it out.

Saw it when it happened and have watched it several times since including today. You will never influence me to disbelieve my own eyes and ears. I have a minor in psychology from time getting my MSN so I am far from stupid. You seemed to be able to read Obama’ s intent from thin air so we will have to agree to disagree.
