Critics Slam Obama For "Just Standing There" During Photo Op

Tighten up your beltway, we've got more politics to talk. I'm Lee Decker. I've got Jason Copeland and Marie Byron hogging up my screen so you know it's time for Gaffe or Good. Hi Lee. -Good evening Lee. -Alright, you know the rules. I play a clip, you tell me if it's a huge gaffe or a good move. First up, John Boehner talking to a small business owners association Tuesday. Watch. Small businesses are the engine of job creation in their communities. Marie, gaffe or good? go. -Good. He's on message. He's showing the people he knows how to speak their language. Come on. -Jason, gaffe or good? Lee he's on message but he's got to get off this script. Boehner is trying to act confident but he's trying way too hard. Gaffe or good Jason? -Gaffe. He's regurgitating stale Republican talking points. Americans aren't buying this. So who's right, who's wrong? Jason says gaffe, Marie says good. Jason if it was 1996 I would agree with you but yesterday's gaffe, today's good. Let's crowd source it. Crowd says good, file it. Next up, Harry Reed caught vacationing this week. Look. Well, gaffe or good? -Obvious gaffe. This is just sloppy. Get this guy a handler. Why is he walking around like that? -He's relaxing. This candid camera stuff works wonder for Palin. But she's not a US Senator, Lee. -They love it on Slick Willy. Marie. -I've got to go with gaffe. The public wants to see the Democrats doing their work. Nothing else. -Exactly. Keep it serious until you're out of office. Jason, you know how it works but I don't like how it works. Everybody says gaffe, I can't change the world. Gaffe. I'm making this the Dean's Scream Memorial gaffe of the week. We've got one minute left in this hour. Let's see who won it, the GOP or the Dems. GOP gets it. They've won seven of the last ten hours. 22 of the last 48. Can the Dems recover? Days trump hours so we'll see who won the day tomorrow at 5am, whenever. Mike Allan does his deal. I don't get up that early. Alright last clip, I think you'll recognize this guy. Quick, gaffe or good? Marie. -Gaffe, Gaffe. He is just standing there taking no action while the country is crumbling around him. So you can't stand still. What should he do, Jason, start juggling? Gaffe or good? Go, we're running out of a time. -Yes, good good. He's not just standing there. He's good, good. He's showing resolve and that's what the American people... One the one hand he's not doing anything, on the other hand he's a pillar of strength. Yes, it's this sort of level-headedness... Jason, don't interrupt me. Is it enough to beat the Tea Party? Almost certainly unclear. Jason, Marie was right more than you today but you had a better showing so you win the segment. Alright. -Sorry Marie, you're out of touch with the mainstream. Alright, we need to take a break but stick around. We've still got to check out our political momentum equation. Momentum is mass times velocity. Tea Party still got the mass, can they keep up their velocity? Or are the Dems finally upping their drag coefficient as Harry Reed whittles down the GOP's mass density consensus on the war in Afghanistan. Suck in that gut, the beltway is cinching up after this. A new study finds many public schools are forced to use old, outdated teachers. Stay tuned to the Onion News Network for more.
