News sometimes trickles down kind of slow here in Holland, but this was a bit too good let it pass even though it happened a week ago. What is it that I would like to share here?
Well, on Friday Jan. 29th Obama visited a House Republican retreat in Baltimore to answer questions from republicans in, what The Huffington Post calls "The Lions Den".
At the end of the session there was a Q&A session that wasn't supposed to be broadcast, but the White House pressured the Republican party to bring the cameras in. And Obama got a sterling opportunity to defend his policies against a whole audience full of Republicans.
As The Huffington Post describes:
What resulted was what one Democratic strategist described as "amazing theater" -- certainly for cable news. Standing on a stage, looking down at his Republican questioners, Obama assumed the role of responsible adult to the GOP children, or, at the very least, of a college professor teaching and lecturing a room full of students.
The event was aired live - among others - by Fox News (known as "the voice of the republicans"). What is interesting about that, is that Fox News choose to cut off the live feed from the broadcast 20 minutes before it ended. I wonder why.
Anyway: here it is. Obama at his best.
