I caught only about fifteen minutes of Obama's town hall yesterday, but as I was watching, I remember thinking, "When is this guy going to stop flapping his jaw?" He'd take a "question" and then go on and on and on...the modus operandi is obvious, it's a parliamentary tactic: bury the interlocutor in a torrent of words so that the initial point is swept away. Next, take command of the rest of the time to answer, yada yada yada, and then, done.
From FoxNews:
A look at President Obama's health care "town hall" Tuesday in Portsmouth, N.H., shows the president out-spoke his audience by a margin of nearly 9-to-1 -- hardly the kind of even-handed exchange of ideas that marked the town meetings of colonial America.
