Obama's Inner Pee-wee.

Pee-wee Herman, one of the greats of American comedy in my opinion, has a scene in the movie "Pee-wee's Big Adventure" in which he hits the curb with his bike, goes soaring over the handlebars, and gets up to say, "I meant to do that."

Apparently, President Obama got in touch with his inner Pee-wee when he tried to figure out how to game "our" Libyan military intervention to depose and kill Gaddafi:

As [Los Angeles Times' White House correspondent, Christi] Parsons relates, Obama and his staff began planning the address on his way to South America aboard Air Force One. Instead of saying this is what we are trying to accomplish, they would see what happened and say that it was what they were trying to do all along.

Obama's delay, we are told, was deliberate.
