Reply #8: I thought it was pure stagecraft as well [View All]

I thought Obama recognized it for what it was. He responded in a masterful way. She expected him to feel cornered since the question was asked in the public eye. How could he possibly decline? Obama did not agree, instead choosing his words carefully. This is something we can work together on, he said. "Working together on" is in no way an agreement to co-sponsor.

This maneuver was a simple gimmick to show Hillary's mastery over the situation, resulting in Obama's obsequiousness. Foiled it he did.

Tricks are for kids.
