With that in mind, check out this video of an interview the President did with a Houston TV station. Their premise is that he was "testy." That's open to debate, but what caught my attention was his enunciation. At about the halfway point of the video, he pulls in a rehearsed partisan talking point, "'bout' Governor Perry taking money, and then blamin' Congress. And he had nuttin', he says, nuthin' to do with Houston not getting a Space Shuttle.

He's going to be tough to beat, unless he beats himself.

Have you listened to Palin talk lately?  She constantly drops her g's.  A lot of people do that at times.  As far as nuttin', I heard nuthin'.

But yeah, you're right Richie, it must be that "Negro dialect".

Of course you didn't say that, Harry Reid did.  You are just making a completely unbiased, non-racial observation.

Politico posted an unusually frank article on the topic


quote:

Nobody interrupts POTUS

The outburst heard 'round the world


When the even-keeled and cool President Obama gets prickly in public, it never goes unnoticed.

For Obama, who has carefully cultivated a reputation of easily managing confrontations with people who disagree with him, these moments are as rare as they are revealing of the person behind the presidency.

So it’s no surprise that Washington took notice when after a tense interview with a Texas TV reporter on Monday, Obama unclipped his microphone with no smile in sight, and tersely warned, “Let me finish my answers next time we do an interview, all right?”

The president of the United States was not happy. Obama had been corrected (he lost Texas by 12 points, not “a few,” in 2008), he was accused of punishing the state for political reasons (he denied that the White House had any part in the decision not to award a space shuttle to Houston), and he was challenged with the most basic of political questions: Why are you so unpopular in Texas?

And all that in a setting the White House anticipated would be largely free of tricky questions.

The conservative media type Matt Drudge broadcasted word of the interview on his website’s banner spot with the headline “First time: Reporter turns aggressive with Obama,” accompanied by the image of Obama, mid-reprimand.

Looks as though Obama's upset w/ the MSM again.....

The real crock is Perry and his teabagger cronies deriding the Federal Gov't on one hand and wanting it torched and then on the other expecting Uncle Sam to ride to the rescue cause they have a fire that is out of control. I say fuck that. Let Texas burn. Not a single Federal Dollar should be spent to help them out.....I mean we do need to draw the line on spending somewhere right and be fiscally responsible?

It's "good" to see that the quality of debate down here in the basement hasn't improved in my absence.

Maybe you've missed it, Arpig, but the content of what our President down here says is frequently fluff and empty retoric anyway. As his term wears on, we are seeing examples of that quite regularly. Guantanamo, use of force without Congressional authorization, raising the debt ceiling... What's wrong with taking a moment to look at the delivery style?

Ken, how do you figure he was "rushed" when he was pulling out the stock camaign answer, with a partisan shot? Do you have access to the raw video or something? The Shuttle is a hot issue, in the places where it matters to folks, he should have had a better answer ready. The Smithsonian already has one, there are three left to distribute. California built them, and was the landing location for a good stretch (I've seen them come in, from my back yard), Florida was where they launched and also landed, and Houston was Mission Control. Giving one to New York does seem best explained by politics.

Lucy, this isn't bait. It's a look at technique and style, and an honest appraisal that the man is a seriously good campaigner.

That's bullshit. He will win New York by 20+% against anyone the GOP trots out. If he was playing politics they would have gone to Ohio, Michigan, Missouri and Nevada.

I'm glad to hear that!! With me things have been going through a rough patch lately, but the light at the end of the tunnel is in sight.

Now enough of this pleasantry, people will begin to talk...back to the bickering!
