[lbo-talk] Tea Party Numbers (and Chomsky's citation of polls)

CB: That's a very good take on what the internal WH strategy might be.
I can see this. Politically astute people understand that you don't
knee-jerk in response to every little provocation from your opponents.

But even given this analysis, Obama has been very tepid even for a
mild-mannered, centrist politician. He's had very few press
conferences. You would think that he'd employ his wit and intelligence
more. Maybe I'm not seeing this because I never watch the news.

CB: Yeah, I don't watch the news much either, but I heard about few
press conferences. I don't know if wit and intelligence would work,
but a large quantity of "replies" maybe, something. especially by now.

 I sometimes wonder if he's really got full Presidential control with
soldier Rahm in the WHouse and all, etc.
