I was struck by the fact that he was reading his commentary. He kept looking down at the piece of paper. It made me think someone else might have written it.

Hard to tell. But it's just as possible that he wrote out some notes ahead and was reading those. I doubt he's a practiced political speaker so he might feel he needs the notes. No doubt, speaking as a general is quite different from speaking on the campaign trail.

The worst though was hearing the crowds roar with applause and yelling when McPeak finished slandering Bill Clinton. Obama's followers are so primed to see the worst in everything either of the Clintons say or do.

You and I see this differently. I don't recall much of this until the runup to the SC primary. The way the Clintons handled that bothered a lot of folk, not least of which were, of course, the Obama campaign folk. I see this more as the Obama crew responding to the Clintons, than themselves initiating this stuff.

But most of this is just silly. I don't think the charges will last the primary campaign season. But the level of anger may hang around for a while.
