President Obama has scored points, at least with me, for his off-color description of gay fish, Kanye West. I found some of my favorite G.W. Bush moments were when he was caught off the record also.
James Joyner remarks:
This, methinks, is the classic win-win. Obama gets the credit for saying what everyone’s thinking and yet can’t be criticized for being “unpresidential” because the unpopular media broke his confidence in reporting it.

Nobel Peace Prize Jury Faces Formal Inquiry

Barack Obama doesn’t care about black people.
He’s a racist.
E.D.:
Imma gonna take an anti-anti-anti-Obama angle.
A bunch of the top lefty blogs are asking ominiously “Why was Obama even asked about it?” as if there were subsconscious racism involved. Now I DO think that IS the case sometimes, but not in this case.
In this case, it’s because that’s what EVERY newsjunkie AND celebrityjunkie was gossiping about that day. It would’ve beem more race-conscious NOT to ask him.
