with a backpack and short shorts and do a trust fall. the thing is that you still want them you want to feel like they re coming from somewhere you want to know what they re coming from. there s this thing that leaders have when they stand in front of you that is a voice that a lot use. that is bull. fair enough. bs if that s what you want to say. i will let you do that. it s sunday morning. it s bs. i think that i think it s intsing they use comedy venues as a way to make issues more pal atable and understanding. when obama went between two friends to talk about obamacare. that was a great way to reach a new audience that wasn t aware of the parts of obamacare that he wanted them to be aware of. i think that s it seems that that s why they go on it more than to humanize because they re trying to hide from it s not a hide. but it is becoming more of a comfortable place for them to
