Couldn’t you just give us a story or two? 

Need we say more? This is from the website of Salon.com yesterday. Pretty much says it all.

COMMUNICATION DEBACLE

You know … he just … I mean … why didn’t he … couldn’t he have just … Mr. President, I have a book for you to read.

Back in July there was an interview by Charlie Rose for ABC News in which he asked the President about his biggest mistake. Obama answered, “The mistake of my first couple of years was thinking that this job was just about getting the policy right. That’s important. But, the nature of this office is also to tell a story to the American people.”

Um, yeah. So are you gonna make sure you correct for that in your big debate?

How did this happen? How did he identify, on national television, his own problem, then fail to rectify it in the most important debate of his life?

I’m very sad about this. Who coached him? What were they thinking? And how did he end up being so boring?
