Obama on gaffes Jun 18, 2008

hi matt! just to add to the debate --- i think obama's conflicted over how to best rise above the fray of politics (not jump on the "gaffe" bandwagon) but also criticize his opponent (his campaign jumped on the bosnia gaffe bandwagon against hillary). in this clip, he had trouble admitting that he (aka his campaign) did contribute to the nation's obsession over petty gaffes. at the same time, he criticizes those who harp on gaffes. i like his point but he seems hypocritical here.
