#1 As he often does, Dr. Krauthammer nails it here. Several friends and I have been marveling at precisely this pattern for some time - making a ridiculous statement, and then instead of muddying the waters and backing off, doubling-down and making it policy. A depressing reminder of what an idiotic, unprofessional media we have today - Obama wouldn't have made it past his first primary or public utterance if there were a real press. And of course it's also a discouraging reminder of just how ignorant and unsophisticated so many voters are, especially the "highly educated" ones ....
