You remind me of Rick Perry telling us what a good debater Obama is, Rush Limbaugh clarified that, I’d think Perry should have already been aware and would have been more realistic to make a joke about not having a teleprompter;
Rush “I happen to remember Obama was being talked to or interviewed by Bob Schieffer of CBS (the anti-smoking crusader) during a presidential debate in 2008 about what federal programs he would cut. Obama talked and talked, and he insisted he would cut programs, but he didn’t — I remember talking about this — didn’t name a single place or thing or program.
He didn’t name a single thing, but he goes on and on and on in that debate. (Obama impression) “I’m gonna cut! Of course we’re gonna cut. Nobody’s better at cutting than I cut! I’ll cut and cut!” He didn’t name anything he was gonna cut, and then Schieffer asked McCain the same question and McCain gave specifics. Not nearly enough to please Schieffer, though. Obama zilch, zero, nada specifics; McCain gave all kinds of them. But Schieffer thought that McCain had botched it. Then Obama got a chance to speak for a few more minutes, and he did not name a single program he would cut the second opportunity he had to talk about it.
But I don’t remember Bob Schieffer — in fact, I know. Bob Schieffer and the rest of the media did not say anything about Obama’s lapse. He couldn’t think of one! At least Perry got two out of three, but Obama couldn’t think of one. They didn’t seem to notice that he couldn’t name a single program.”
I (thought I) merely stated that Richardson sounded like he might be able to speak in a manner that would make a Gingrich/Richardson debate interesting.
