I think the point would be that he was scrambling like crazy because the cards were all stacked against him. And they were. It had to be a crazy time, and when things are crazy you make stupid mistakes on stupid things like bureaucratic forms. That’s why we have a chance to amend tax returns or filing extensions. Was this right at the same time that Lois Lerner was putting “True the Vote” through bureaucratic hell, to keep them from being able to get anything else done? If you’re a candidate you HAVE to be able to get things done - especially if the opponent and the GOPe are fighting you with a LOT of money and a LOT of manpower.

A president getting rattled when events pile up......so he takes to the airwaves to whine that the whole world is against him.
