Absolutely agree, DTB. I don't consider this that big a deal, although he has obviously stepped up his public appearance schedule and photo op schedule to combat his failing popularity. The degree in which this one was scripted is nothing I would not have expected with this guy from day one. If anyone voted for him thinking he was a deep thinker that could communicate his thoughts well on a public stage, then you were not paying attention. A lot of politicos do this. ESPECIALLY the ones that are not comfortable speaking in public - or are able to convey thoughts. Clinton was a master at public discourse, though...I don't think he needed much help in this area.
