Or, Obama is “Boring”. That was the Drudge headline immediately following the presser. Similar notions have echoed through the rightwing media world. Some more:
Jonah Goldberg- Longwinded and boring!
Andrew Malcolm- I slept through my college classes and last night was bored!
Rove, Hannity, and O’Reilly: The press conference was boring!
Hugh Hewitt- Snorefest!
As Dougj at Balloon Juice5 says:
It’s not an accident that so many righties settled on the “Obama is boring” meme this morning. The idea of attacking what is perceived to be Obama’s greatest strength—his ability as a communicator—has been brewing for a while. It’s what all the yammering about the teleprompter is about. It’s what all the hand-wringing about Obama’s jokes is about.
…”This is a classic Rovean technique – attacking your opponent where he’s strongest.”
