What it is, is more evidence of the man's duplicitous incompetence.
This type of remark, and others such as the 57 states, highlight an astonishing inability to handle any sort of pressure. Keeping in mind that these people interviewing him are tossing softballs and laying the red carpet at his feet. Hell's bells, how much pressure is there when the "interviewer" has his head so far up Obama's butt we can hardly hear the questions? It's not like any of these people are trying to entrap BO into saying something contradictory. As they do non stop to Republicans.
Put it this way. If a pitcher comes unglued during an intramural baseball game, you don't promote him to the first string in the National League.
I agree, but it’s duplicitousness in the sense that he doesn’t really know WHO he is himself.
I think it’s funny, because Obama really has a short-circuit of concentration in a contemporaneous setting, and we should exploit that because, frankly. you don’t get to meet with heads of state with a teleprompter in the room.
Like you said, the point here is not the content of the gaffe. It would be impossible to prove it’s a Freudian slip. What IS possible to prove, is that Obama can’t take the pressure of a simple interview .
