This is a perfect example of how I've seen dude move since the primaries and why I get annoyed when the reactionary Obama supporters get uptight about something.
Obama is not a quick to react because he was caught of guard type of cat. We've seen in instance after instance where there is a story, he let's it run for a day or two, then he comes back with the perfect response..every muthafuckin time. That's not luck folks, that's aptitude.
It's kinda like doin ya homework in school, if you know the material the test simply doesn't surprise you, you may get something worded a little different but you know the shit either way.
..and to piggy back on what Laughing Man said, shit I have a pretty decent IQ but I really want my President to be smarter than me otherwise give me the $400K and let my ass telecommute.
