Obama and the Jerkstore
 


Last night on FNC, Charles Krauthammer made a brilliant observation.  He compared Obama's  post debate attack on Romney yesterday as an example of  what I call the Jerkstore effect, after the Seinfeld episode.  The phenomenon where, after you've been squelched in debate,  on the way home you think of all the things you wish you'd said at the time .   Krauthammer used another term for this behavior; does anyone out there remember what it was?  At any rate, it's spot-on.

The phrase is probably "esprit d'escalier" though I don't know if it fits either George or the Democrats. "Imp of the perverse" seems more appropriate.

That's cutting edge stuff Rog.

The speech Obama gave in Denver the next morning was unreal. It reminded me of the androids in Blade Runner and their implanted memories. Only instead of him being afraid of spiders, although he probably is, he was implanted with images of him kicking Romney ass.

I am looking forward to the video mash up of Romney in the debate

"You're made up '$5T tax cut for the rich' may make a great stump speech, but it is pure fiction" (quote has to have the split screen to see OBambi's non reaction.)

Then the clip of Obummer's next day rally playing to the crowd with his $5T stump speech.

Probably fit in a 30 second spot, and highlight that Barry does in fact feel entitled to his house, plane and own facts.
