Over at National Review, Jim Geraghty posts up an interesting thought on Obama's debate performance the other night.
While his style reflected excellent preparation for the medium (televised, on-stage debate), he really can stand to use more time simply getting comfortable with the issues they are going to be discussing during said debate.
The example that comes to my mind immediately is when moderator Brian "Man Tan" Williams pressed him on what he, personally, had recently done to become more "green" in his everyday life. Obama fumbled around talking about a campaign initiative to send volunteer to go out and plant trees.
Williams, to his credit, would have none of this Barack Appleseed nonsense, and pressed the issue. The wunderkind never got his bearings after that, mouthing off some lame, vague reference to installing longer-lasting lightbulbs.
Some good advice here. We'll see what happens.
I'm anxiously awaiting a bit more of a bloodbath when the GOP hopefuls take the stage this coming Thursday at the Ronald Reagan Library in Simi Valley, CA.
