Not can't. Shouldn't. He lowers himself by getting into the fray with each primary candidate making a splash. But whatever. The one thing he has proven to be good at is campaigning. |

But it's not Obama. It's his campaign staff. Did Rove's nonsense *really* affect Bush's presidential-ness? (other than the part of giving him a WH job)

Really?
The defense of Perry is that he was just being "irrational?":

On the other hand, everybody knows Mr. Perry meant no literal harm and was indulging the irrational exuberance that is one of his trademarks.
|
Apparently "irrational" is just fine with the WSJ, as long as you are for hard money.
Okay, actually, I guess that makes sense. Nevermind. |

I think Clubby's new thing is to just post Hank-like trolls. He is sick of getting the beat down when he seriously posts stuff that proves to be garbage.

Re: My God, you are an idiot.
Anyone else think it odd that CNN has ignored Maxine Waters at the CBC event asking people if it is time to attack Obama? It seems to me a pretty significant thing, and one that could really complicate his path, yet CNN has ignored it.
It also seems to not be on the NYT page.

I never think it is odd to ignore Maxine Waters.

Right, and when someone who's out there slamming the maroons running for the R nomination get a genuine WH position--rather than a strict politics position, paid for by the campaign--then there's an issue about that person speaking "as" the POTUS.

Yes, I am. The campaign and the office of the POTUS are not the same. Obama (and any other POTUS) does not personally get to wear two hats, and the campaign shouldn't speak to policy (just as the WH staff should not speak to the election), but the words of the campaign staff are not the words of the President.
