The only thing I'd add is that it's just another example of how "the greatest orator of our time" can't think without a teleprompter.
i dunno...
i think he was just having a regular conversation and said something that would have passed without problem if he wasn't being recorded. it was a candid answer, and certainly one i can see bush also giving. i have no problem with the comment, but i do think its silly that obama has/will get a pass (at least relatively speaking) and bush would have been crucified.
