75,% of the american people are paying close attention to the debt debate. it's interesting because this president seems to think that he can take a page out of previous president's play books, nixon, ronald reagan, bill clinton and go over the heads of the press, districtly to the american people to make his point. but those presidents knew enough to use the oval office or the east room or use the power for presidency in very rare, pointed kinds of ways to persuade and cajole and educate the american people and this president seems to be engaging in campaign strategizing from the white house which is why i think he speaks criticism from the right and left. >> jon: what about the body language? i was struck while i watched that speech, he seemed very stiff. i felt i was watching the animatronic version from all of presidents from disney world. >> i think peggy noonen called him a martian if that helps. and over the heads of the press, because they're carrying him.
