The Autopsy

So now that the good guys have won and all is well in the world, now we get the fun of the post election autopsy. Well Newsweek has put together a Special Election Project whereas reporters are allowed to gather behind the scenes information on the candidates with the agreement that none of it will be released until after the election. Well in that information that's beginning to drip out is this bit below about President Barack Obama on global warming and debates. I love the way this man thinks!

-The debates unnerved both candidates. When he was preparing for the Democratic primary debates, Obama was recorded saying, "I don't consider this to be a good format for me, which makes me more cautious. I often find myself trapped by the questions and thinking to myself, 'You know, this is a stupid question, but let me ... answer it.' So when Brian Williams is asking me about what's a personal thing that you've done [that's green], and I say, you know, 'Well, I planted a bunch of trees.' And he says, 'I'm talking about personal.' What I'm thinking in my head is, 'Well, the truth is, Brian, we can't solve global warming because I f---ing changed light bulbs in my house. It's because of something collective'."
