USA-valet: Obamas dåliga debatteknik ger bekymmer
April 18th, 2008
Obama och Clinton i debatten i Austin i Texas tidigare i år.
Det är få som inte erkänner att Barack Obama är en av USA:s mest entusiasmerande talare under de senaste decennierna.
Samtidigt är det slående hur dålig Obama är som debattör. Liksom Clinton och McCain och till skillnad från Mike Huckabee är han helt humorfri.
Medan Hillary Clinton är en slugger som omedelbart går till attack så går Obama så snart han kan över på defensiven. Han är dålig på att parera och vända en attack till ett eget angrepp.
Mest slående är hur han i den senaste debatten i Philadelphia fogligt fann sig i reportrarnas triviala frågor. En smer jälvsäker debattör hade struntat i frågorna och börjat prata om Irak, USA:s oförsäkrade, den globala uppvärmingen, dvs helt sonika stulit debatten från ABC News.
Men Obama har inte Ronald Reagans suveräna självförtroende och han inte stoppa Clinton med ett avväpnande “there you go again”.
Istället lät han Clinton slå honom gul och blå utan att svara.
Patrick Healy skriver om Hillary Clintons angrepp på Barack Obama i debatten i Philadelhpia: Superdelegates Unswayed by Clinton’s Attacks
In fact, the Obama campaign announced endorsements from two more superdelegates on Thursday, after rolling out three on Wednesday and two others since late last week in what appeared to be a carefully orchestrated show of strength before Tuesday’s Pennsylvania primary. Obama advisers said that one of the pickups on Thursday, Councilman Harry Thomas Jr. of the District of Columbia, had initially favored Mrs. Clinton, but Clinton advisers denied that, and a Thomas aide said he had been neutral before Thursday.
In interviews, 15 uncommitted superdelegates said they did not believe that recent gaffes by both candidates would carry any particular influence over their final decision. They said they had particularly tired of all the attention, by the Clinton campaign and the news media, on Mr. Obama’s recent comment that some Americans were “bitter” over the economy and chose to “cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them” as a result.
And if there were some moments of concern reflected in the debate — the talk of Mrs. Clinton’s high unfavorability ratings, Mr. Obama’s flashes of annoyance — they all doubted that those moments would be deal-breakers, either. Instead, most of the superdelegates said they wanted to wait for the results of at least the next major primaries — in Pennsylvania on Tuesday and Indiana and North Carolina two weeks later — before choosing a candidate.
Vad Obama inte inser är att en skicklig debattör kan sätta in förödande motangrepp utan att verka lika elak som Hillary Clinton.
Obamas enda räddning är att den 71-årige McCain knappast är bättre.
