Its unbelievable he doesn't have more gumption than that. "I don't want to make her mad," Mr. Clinton said. "Please go."Make that FDR. LBJ was only elected President once. ] Clinton did a much better job of selling those cuts than Obama did during two press events earlier this week. He noted, in his wonkishly informed way, how the deal isn’t perfect but it’s better than what Obama can reasonably expect to get after the GOP takes over the House in January. He also noted that, overall, the tax cuts will help the economy. And he even went into a detailed discussion of how the payroll tax cuts that are part of the deal will help us become more competitive internationally. Clinton was in command of the facts, and did strong work selling the tax cut deal — the deal that Obama has so far failed to sell to his own party. Clinton did not.The former president continued the press conference , the logo of the White House behind him in what looked like a flashback to his pre-Monica days. he also looks like he’s in charge. He handled the press as well as he ever did, which is a stark contrast to the way the current president mishandled the press — twice — earlier this week. Obama’s demeanor and body language suggested that he’d rather be anywhere but where he was, and then he followed through and actually bolted for the door. Clinton’s demeanor was that of a passionate wonk trying to sell a policy he actually cared about, that he thought would be good for the country. It didn’t matter that it wasn’t even his own policy that he was selling. He’d failed to sell his own policy, so he needed and got some rescue from Clinton.Any doubt who's the alpha male there? ]hotair.com pajamasmedia.com
