Last time I checked, the POTUS has a press secretary...
Presidential candidates should stand on their own and voters should be able to trivialize things like body language, smooth talk (think Obama, Clinton, Kerry...), personal style, what they have on their IPod, what they eat, boxers or briefs, etc. If the public is on the ball, they’d be well-informed enough to see past the day before.
It’s too damned bad that Perry’s image problem is how he’s perceived based on such meaningless chicken shit but that’s just the way it is. It’s too damned bad that some people expect a presidential candidate to appear somewhat as a song and dance man or woman. It’s too damned bad that the media tends to make the political process in this country look like just another branch of show biz.
Not only does the POTUS have a press secretary, there’s the Secretary of State, Secretary of Defense, CIA Director, Secretary of the Treasury, Secretary of Labor and...oh yeah, what’s that other one again?...Secretary of the Interior...no wait...Secretary of Education...Secretary of Energy?

He called people who opposed in-state tuition for illegals “heartless,” that’s where he lost me.
