Slate reports on a post-debate insta-ad from the Republican National Committee:
Here was the blast that went out to reporters (via the Washington Examiner): "Good morning, we're out with a new video 'Smirk' highlighting the president's debate performance where he was visibly uncomfortable as he struggled to give Americans answers on how he'll turn our country around with another four years. As Morning Joe said this morning—it appeared as if Obama thought debating was beneath him."
And the video:
We know Republicans think Obama demonstrates his arrogance and uppityness in everything he says and everything he does as president. Now we learn that they think he showed arrogance and uppityness last night by being respectfully silent and pensive as Mitt Romney was speaking. (Do you see a smirk? I don't see a smirk.)
Next RNC attack ad: "OBAMA BREATHES AIR! HOW DARE HE?"
You should probably look again.
ReplyDeleteA smirk is arrogant. Obama does not look arrogant. Rueful, perhaps.
ReplyDeleteObama looks to me like a man desperately trying not to laugh.
ReplyDeleteYes -- at the brazenness.
ReplyDeleteYeah, rueful.
ReplyDeleteWondering how does a black man call a white man a flip-flopping, out-and-out brazen lier on national TV, in front of tens of millions of viewers?
The Conservatives won't be happy until every single member of the Obama family is dead and buried for years.
HOW DARE A BLACK MAN BEAT THEM!
LET ALONE TWICE!!!
