What should I wear today, senator?

Jeff Jarvis at Buzz Machine takes Barack Obama to task for this quip from last night's debate:

“One of the things the next president has to do is to stop fanning people’s fears. If we spend all our time feeding the American people fear and conflict and division then they become fearful and conflicted and divided. If we feed them hope and we feed them reason and tolerance then they will become tolerant and reasonable and hopeful.”

Apparently, Jarvis' conclusion seems to be, we're all just waiting to accept as gospel everything a politician in Washington says.

Speaking of last night's debate, I added "Iran" to the lineup of questions on Select A Candidate based on the debate. I wasn't very patient, however, with those who wouldn't answer the question directly.
