How did Obama do with the Gibson interview?

I am away from the TV.

1. I thought he did OK until he called Charlie "a miserable little shit."

Things went downhill from there...

2. Obama's getting more candid as

the election drawers nearer.

5. Slapping Gibson in the face didn't help much.

3. He did well...standard crap...no surprises...very even. No harm no foul. n/t

4. He was really cute. When asked what he'd miss least when this is

all over, he said packing his suitcase up. He can't wait to get home and wake up with his girls, snuggle in bed with them and Michelle, make them waffles, hear their plans for the day. So sweet.

6. Pointed out that McCain hero TeddyRoosevelt believed in progressive taxation

Very good job defending philosophy of not continuing tax cuts for wealthy but going back to the Clinton tax rates for wealthy to provide relief to middle class. Pointed out that Teddy Roosevelt was a big proponent of higher taxes for wealthier. Was warm and funny and relaxed. They showed him joking that they (McCain camp) will be saying he's a communist because he shared his toys as a child!

7. The joke about being a communist for sharing his toys was well-timed

A pre-emptive smackdown just as the McPalin surrogates (DeLay) come out shouting "Marxist!". Obama saw it coming a mile away and makes them look like a predictable bunch of fools.
