On yesterday's show, Hugh Hewitt played a lot of tape from Obama's huge Oregon rally, and pointed out what he called "a poker tell" in Obama's speech: the tendency to hyperpuntuate, to pause after every two or three words when talking about foreign policy, where he doesn't know what he's talking about and doesn't want to get himself into trouble. The sound system may have exacerbated the problem, but it's definitely there. I pointed out a week ago how much more fluidly and surely Obama speaks when he is asked about picking judges; as a law professor by training, he's sure of his opinion on those issues. On foreign policy, he doesn't know much, which is why he keeps getting himself in trouble by using lefty phrases in different ways. It's also why it's very worrying when he meets with Hamas apologists like that guy (Qurzeini?) in Detroit, as he may be open to persuasion, being unaware of most of the facts or history. Anyway, keep an ear open for the "tell". Obama is just not that good ex tempore. McCain should debate him as often as possible.
