Meant to add that the title was Team Obama: Focus groups told us they wanted a speech that was flat, repetitive, and disappointing or something, couldn't fit it.

He can’t do sweeping vistas and uplift anymore

Oh, I don't know. Just today I heard him tell us that millions of jobs would be created by following his plans. Millions.

My dial was off, and I missed it. I find it very hard to focus on Obama.

The only speech I want to hear from Obama is a concession speech.

“Obama and his advisers had taken great pains to avoid soaring rhetoric that might have been derided as empty. “

Just like they took pains to make sure they had smaller rallies?

the president deliberately dialed it down, stopping well short of the altitudes he is capable of reaching. Perhaps that will prove to be a mistake, but the decision to go with a less rousing approach was carefully considered.

altitudes he is capable of reaching.. like blame Bush.

No doubt the same focus groups have told Hussein to lose the election, and he will comply.

This may be the most serious case of narcissism in the history of the world. So serious it even seems to be transmitted to all surrounding sycophants.

I’ve been hearing this for months. Focus groups are turned off by Obama’s soaring rhetoric.

The problem though, isn’t that they are turned off by soaring rhetoric, it’s that they are turned off by Obama using soaring rhetoric.

The first time you talk to a braggart, you come away impressed (”Wow, this guy really has it together!”). But, once you catch on that he’s full of it, you have the opposite reaction (”Wow, what a loser; all he does is talk BS!”).
