Many people jumped on this comment snippet as soon as it was tweeted
by the media. I sensed something was off with the media lead on the
comment itself, so I witheld opinion until I could see and hear the
context. Having said that the term “optimal” was placed into the
conversation by Jon Stewart.
However, Jon Stewart was talking about the poor presidential
response, and the confusing explanations from the White House,
Spokesperson(s), the larger administration per se’, and the President
himself. In essence the “confused messaging” was not optimal.
If President Obama was responding to the poor “messaging”
descriptive then any outrage would have been seriously misplaced,
because we all agree the confusing messaging was far from optimal. Heck,
it was absurdly ridiculous.
BUT…
…. When President Obama responded to Jon Stewart Obama was not talking about the “messaging”, he was talking about the “event”.
So therefore EVERY CINTILLA OF BACKLASH for this horrifically worded response is ABSOLUTELY APPROPRIATELY PLACED.
You can decide for yourself. One
thing is certain, if Romney or any Republican had used the same
terminology the media would be using it in a 24/7 continuous loop.
