starting to cringe
I'm one of those who has always cringed when politicians got asked questions, and then responded with their talking points that often had nothing to do with the questions. But I now find myself cringing when I hear Obama being interviewed. It happened Sunday on This Week, and last night with Oberman. He has dropped into a pattern of always given a "reflective" answer that often starts out with a laugh, followed by some ums, and then a response at least a paragraph wrong with unnecessary details that simply won't work as a sound bite. Please stop it Obama. Oberman repeatedly tried to get you to give direct and crisp responses last night, and you laughed at him. It makes you look defensive and undecisive.
