I can imagine the Republicans pulling themselves together and coming up with an effective game plan, and messaging strategy, for that televised conflab the House Republicans had with Obama on Friday.\u00c2\u00a0 The object, I guess, would be to find a way to find a way to trip him up — get a malpropism, misspeak, or that hasty attempt to cover up and say nothing which occasionally happens.\u00c2\u00a0 Obama came out ahead in this exercise, dashing away at some breeding problems that had entered his political fortunes.\u00c2\u00a0 I suppose had he been closer to the cariacture of the “TelePrompter” president, he would have faltered more.<\/p>\n
I can’t quite imagine the Democrats putting forth a united message in that same hypothetical spot.\u00c2\u00a0 Then again, the President Bush would just be grating.\u00c2\u00a0 And then again, again, a third of the Democratic Party would be taking the opportunity to ask questions asserting a “Centrism”.\u00c2\u00a0 This has Political Grandstanding stamped all over it.<\/p>\n
Likewise, imagine this conflab ala the British Prime Minister Question session<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0 In the end, the game is just having\u00c2\u00a0the parties lined up, and jeering at each other<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0 And or<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0I’ve long thought that this item of Great Britain’s political system should be imported over here, stateside.\u00c2\u00a0 But at this moment, after Obama’s performance before the House Republicans, with this thought exiting a theoretical arena and\u00c2\u00a0entering slightly into a matter of practical\u00c2\u00a0consideration, I am no longer so sure.\u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0It looks like one more irrelevant nature of added political acting in a political culture.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I can imagine the Republicans pulling themselves together and coming up with an effective game plan, and messaging strategy, for that televised conflab the House Republicans had with Obama on Friday.\u00c2\u00a0 The object, I guess, would be to find a way to find a way to trip him up — get a malpropism, misspeak, or […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5382","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.struat.com\/election\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5382","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.struat.com\/election\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.struat.com\/election\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.struat.com\/election\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.struat.com\/election\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5382"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"http:\/\/www.struat.com\/election\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5382\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5384,"href":"http:\/\/www.struat.com\/election\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5382\/revisions\/5384"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.struat.com\/election\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5382"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.struat.com\/election\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5382"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.struat.com\/election\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5382"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
