24. He probably did, but I hope we don't make hay of this

I don't see it as a winning argument. I would leak it through surrogates but never speak of it if I were the Obama camp. He would come off as whining, and it would also swing the focus off today's stellar jobs report back to that horrible 90 minutes. I'm no political strategist obviously, but I think sometimes it's best to take your licks and move on.
