So, what is Obama's stance on distractions? Seems to be that they are only distractions when used against him.

I hear that his performance was pretty sad.

Yes, and he's been whining about it ever since. Just what we need in the White House.

We don't know what we need in the White House.
We do know what we DON'T need tho.

Obama talks a lot about change, but in the end he is turning out to be just another disappointing politician.

And a very sensitive one to boot. Poor BHO, he is expected to take responsibility for his past and present associations...how dastardly of the American people and some brave journalists! I do wonder if he really was so arrogant that he thought none of these things would come out or that anyone would care.
