wilt the stilt

20. I didn't say he wasn't effective

i said he was ineffective as a spokesman. This is a game of perception. In the U.S. it always has been. Was barack more pleasant than John Mccain. of course he was.

It is smart to always put your best foot forward and to give the best impression up front. Usually people buy from whom they like.That is the perception game. Why not have Weaver in the background and get someone else upfront.

Is that such a difficult concept?
