Kathryn-
You remember the last time Obama did a last-ditch speech to push through his health plan a few months ago? He ended up shooting his mouth off about the Cambridge police. Two days later, the average American couldn’t tell you a thing he said about health care, but everyone knew he called a cop stupid.
My prediction: the Wilson outburst will have the same effect. It’s all anyone’s going to want to talk about. It’s all you guys on the Corner want to talk about. Whatever boost of support Obama’s people might have hoped to get, they probably won’t get it.
Although to be honest, Obama didn’t really say anything we haven’t already heard. So there’s no “news” there.
Maybe that’s the problem…
