Just prior to Barack Obama announcing self-imposed conditions on if and when America would use nuclear weapons, he made a North Carolina audience wilt under a 17-minute response to a fairly simple question.
According to a rather humorous blog by the Washington Post’s Anne E. Kornblut, Obama meandered for 17 minutes and 2,500 words in response to a woman wondering if it was a “wise decision to add more taxes to us with the health care” reform. “We are over-taxed as it is,” she stated.
His best answer, from his perspective, would have simply been to have said, “Yes.” But he knows that’s not a popular answer. Instead, he kept talking, on and on, to the point where listeners no longer cared about what he was saying or why. They just want him to shut up.
