The truth behind Obama’s presser ratings

As Howard Kurtz notes (though doesn’t fully dissect) with his “discursive style” comments about President Barack Obama, on page 2 of an in-depth analysis of Obama, network TV, prime-time ratings and presidential press conferences, the truth is that Barack Obama is NOT “that” dynamic of a speaker. This is another Obama myth that I saw through more than a year ago.

I don’t know if some of that mythos is white “liberal” unconscious racism about him sounding “cool,” but in a “white” way, or what.
