I think the White House is spitting propaganda again.

Remember that video tape that was sent to Gore’s campaign? It happened right around the time of the debates. The story disappeared after the debate.

I think there is an explanation which must be given for what was inside the President’s jacket because I don’t own any suits that pucker in square shaped puckers. There is controversy in what to call this, I vote for ‘Puckergate’.

In all seriousness, the press must now be responsible and get to the bottom of this and not treat it the way the White House wants it to be treated: I have heard campaign representatives saying things like ‘little green men’ and ‘conspiracy’. I don’t see that, I see reasonable questions:

What was that rectangular shaped object inside the back of the President’s jacket?

Why did the President say ‘let me finish’ 60 seconds into a 90 second response when, after I re-watched the tape, nobody had tried to interrupt him?

Why do some networks have interference when the President speaks, and what they hear is someone speaking BEFORE the president says something? I have seen it, and it was broadcast live.

Why does the president, during the first debate, have seconds where he looks like someone who is distracted? At times he seems as if he may be listening to someone (it looks that way sometimes when re-watched)?

Another thing is this: could the President see himself on TV? Did he know he was on a split screen? At one point very early in the debate he made this awful facial gesture on TV, he looked instantly as if he knew what he had done… the odd thing is this: if he couldn’t see himself, how did he know he was caught on camera? As far as he knew, he was not going to be shown split screen.
