I know. It was like they had been telling friends and family outside of work what a great job Obama did with his mighty brain, compassion and gift of speaking. That when a crisis comes along Obama was able to act on the fly and squelch it allat once. A master strategist during a situation that needed instant action.
and now this dude comes along and smashes it all apart on TV for everyone to see. Saying in essence that he was a fool and actually did nothing at all.
But the anchors are now emotionally invested in the way Obama handled Egypt and so in order not to seem foolish to anyone they bragged to about Obama, they start using whatever conclusions they came to as an argument, but everything they said just made it worse.
When he says, "whoever thinks this was a triumph hasn't got a clue" you can hear an exhale from the lady anchor as if she were thinking, "Oh Lord, he just said I haven't got a clue right on national television and I am beginning to look like a fool and so I better do something quick" So she immediately calls on another guest to take the focus off of her. Instead, now that guy looks like an idiot. By the end they were no longer making their own opinions known, but instead asking the professor what his opinions were and just leaving it at that. It was glorious. An A-1 ass kicking.

Ah shit. You beat me to it. This was outstanding
Not bad for a limey. I'm gonna add that guy to my Christmas list.
I can't believe their reactions to his completely well thought out and educated responses. You can't argue with historical facts.

My favorite part was "Well, didn't the flip-flopping work though?" Almost too perfect.
Oh, oh, and "I'm not George W. Bush. Love me."
God Bless this man.
