Too much of a stretch
Hi 
What means of "too much of a stretch"?
I think it has a different meaning in context, and its direct meaning is "Too Long".
I am not sure about it...
There are lots of words which was not entered in Dictionary yet. It's hard for me.
I found two examples.
1)hope today's show wasn't too much of a stretch.
-> I think this expression means "Hope you'll be understood the show well."
2)It is too much of a stretch to blame Prime Minister for the Green affair.
-> I think this expression means "It is too presumptuous to blame ***."
I'd appriciate it if you'd answer.

It comes from the following definition of stretch : - The act or fact of stretching or extending something beyond reasonable or proper limits: You wouldn't call her a genius by any stretch of the imagination. It's quite a stretch for me to believe his story. "Too much of a stretch" means that something is being interpreted too liberally, going beyond what is reasonably the truth of the matter, and into the realm of speculation.
