To watch Obama's Q&A session regarding his decision to leave the church was painful. Having done years of public speaking it was obvious that his mind was continually searching for answers to questions. At times he seemed completely unable to articulate what he wished to say. It actually reminded me of the rambling debate that involved Perot's choice for Vice President (Remember Admiral Stockdale?). I actually had to turn that one off. I got close on this one also. If anyone thinks that Obama is going to be a shoe-in during the debates they are in for a real stomach ache.
Obama has become clearly gun shy. He looks "handled" as in having political handlers. You get gun shy when everything you say is parsed and thrown back at you. If the guy could only sit there and make speeches we'd be discussing how big his margin of victory would be. That is clearly not the case regardless of what Bob Beckel is saying (don't get me wrong, he is one smart guy, but he is a homer for the Dems).
I'm making this prediction: short of some disasterous event in McCain's run, Obama will be toast if he doesn't get back to what he does best, and that is stand, unchalleged, making oratory history. The kind that sends a chill up Chris Matthew's leg. Thanks to Hillary that is a taller order today.
