发帖数: 29846 | 1 Obama Spokeswoman Fears Obama Will Be Too Professorial For Low-Information
Voters in Debates

Boy, these Obama hacks are spinning furiously in advance of the debate this
week. The latest schtick has him being so dazzlingly brilliant the great
unwashed out there will be unable to fully digest his magnificence.
“[W]hat the American [people] are looking for is not just a
professorial list of facts or accomplishments or even goals,” Obama
campaign spokeswoman Jen Psaki said yesterday as part of her ongoing, almost
-comical attempt to lower expectations going into the debates. She then
lamented that Obama “has a tendency to give longer, substantive answers.”
Psaki’s concern that Professor Obama will appear during the debates is
understandable given that “he was the third-lowest-ranked lecturer” at the
University of Chicago Law School in 1999.
Still, Obama’s background as a professor is more of a running joke in
conservative circles than a typical Democratic criticism of the president.
So why would Psaki bring it up now (beyond, again, the absurd expectations
game that both sides play)?
Maybe it has to do with their target audience. “He wants to speak
directly to the families — the people who are on their couches at home,
having snacks, drinking a beer, drinking soda, whatever it is, and tuning in
for the first time — and that’s who he’s speaking directly to,” she
said.
It doesn’t really matter what he says since all the talking heads
immediately afterward will tell us Obama wiped the floor with Romney. So
ignore whatever you glean from the debate and wait for the deep thinkers in
the media to tell you who won. Speaking of low-information voters, can you
watch the debates on your Obama Phone? |
