16. No idea. I just immediately thought Obama was distracted last night

Really. That was my impression.

And hearing this theory on the Diane Rehm show just reinforced it. I guess Bob Woodward was on one of the early am talk shows and said this. I have no link but honestly, Woodward is hooked into the PTB.

It makes sense.

I really wish it were we were pulling out of Afghanistan!! Please! Please!!!

Edited to clarify a wino typo after a helluva day...
